Well I can tell you I've suffered with OCD since the age of 7.....I still remember my first intrusive thoughts like it was yesterday.....it turned my life on its head....not a day since has been OCD free, I was well past believing anything could really help .....I'm 58 and have been treated for the last year by an NOCD therapist, and my life is finally changing....for the first time I am starting to feel like I always should have, so I would say there is real hope for anyone with this illness.

This feels so real right now. Objectively I know I have so many great things in my life but I’m having the hardest time feeling gratitude or enjoyment for those things and it breaks my heart

@llm31 Yes is so hard being positive having gratitude while going through ocd is hard to enjoy life in general

I point I would make, is that I always felt that the problem, was the illness itself, that I had no control over it......but the truth is,... that it is our actions,....that keep the illness going, it only stays strong because we choose to continue with compulsions....which is within our control to stop.....not easy for sure, but we do have the power to take away OCDs control over our lives. It's that realisation and our willingness to act on it and nothing else I believe, that can make us better.

@Garrett Maguire Yes that is so true the compulsion are what ocd feed of i have so many compulsion that I didn’t even realize I had and is hard to cut them I m trying to cut them little by little because all at once cause bad anxiety and panic attack is so hard but it feel so much better when I don’t do a compulsion is all about staying strong how you said

idk
I feel like I’ll never lead a normal life again with OCD, my thoughts have begun to be convince especially about POCD. I feel like so sad and down that this will be my life forever. I’ll never get to fall in love again without intrusive thoughts. I’ll never be worth falling in love with. I can never be intimate again. I’m just done, my life is over. I can’t even look at my nephew and niece anymore without the smile fading. It feels like I’m so nasty and then my brain convinces me this is how I feel. That there’s some part of me that is a p*do and that’s it. I’m a disgusting human being for that. I just feel hopeless

what if it’s not ocd
so i was on instagram and it came up with other signs of ocd then someone commented this doesn’t mean you have ocd now im stressed that its not ocd background - i had so-ocd for a few years then got treatment for it but am now on the waiting list for further treatment for other stuff but i dont have another theme which makes me feel like its not ocd my day to day life consists of touching the door handle every time you go past it or someone will die, and inability to send emails without re reading loads of times and getting other people to check because im scared i wrote something bad but the what if it’s not ocd thought is triggering me now and i don’t know what do

I want to beat OCD because. .
I want to beat OCD because I have seen and felt the benefits of clearing my brain from unnecessary, pointless, thoughts. OCD is like 0 calorie food. It’s pointless. No nutrition or benefits come from my obsessions or compulsions. I don’t care to have answers to everything anymore. I catch myself just trying to stress myself out so that I have some worry to feed on. But like I said, it’s a 0 calorie food. I get nothing from it but wasted time and energy. My brain feels more spacious when I’m not consumed by OCD. I’m present. My personality has room to be herself without making space for bullshit. I tell myself now that worry is poison. I think Willie Nelson was the person I got that quote from? Anyways, that imagery of worries being poison for the mind has been transformative for me. I’m evolving. 💖 Thanks NOCD community.
