Is it possible to beat OCD?
Will there ever be a pint in my life where I can completely feel free of OCD and be semi normal?

Coming from someone who has conquered all the themes that have come my way, I can tell you with certainty that it is indeed possible. It takes time, patience, and a lot of self-love. OCD is a lifelong disorder, and it can come in waves. New themes may start up and impede on your progress, but it does not thwart your journey in the long term. There are lessons to be made of these obstacles, and they will help you mitigate and manage whatever trials you face in the future. You must face these episodes with great fortitude and understand that they are not indomitable. They will come and they will go. You will come out on top. Stay strong, OCD Radish:)
Yes, for sure! But it takes a long of work. It’s not going to be a quick fix.
YES, yes and yes.... You will know when you see your over thinking as a virtue and not an illness. You are just a special person who strive for perfection, and tries to have order and certainly in the world around them, but needs to realize that the world is not perfect, and has flaws by design. You wll learn not to suffer for the flaws of the world, and leave the flowed world suffer for its imperfect ion. Have a great weekend 😀
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
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.
Anyone else feel that when they aren’t experiencing a theme that their ocd is almost non existent. It almost makes me feel like I’ve been faking it, and also makes me feel ridiculous for obsessing over things. I feel sorry for myself :/ I know that my themes are valid and felt very real in the moment, but after I “get over” them I just can’t believe that I was obsessing over something that either wasn’t true or didn’t apply to me. I would also like to know how to prevent themes from reoccurring. Health, religion and existential OCD themes tend to take turns throughout my life, I just didn’t know that was it ocd. Trying to break the cycle.
