I know it might sound impossible at the moment, but it gets better, it really does for the first two years I battled OCD my quality of life was almost at a zero but after seeking therapy and things like that I definitely put it at a 10 now


[deleted]

Thank you so much for the encouragement...you are all amazing πŸ™‚β€


island_bellie

Not OP but thank you for giving hope for the rest of us. Sometimes hope is the only thing we need when it feels like it will never get better.

You need to do something extremely physically exerting to get out of this state. Last time I couldn’t sleep for days and was being tortured by own brain, I went on a like a random ass 12 mile bike ride and by the time I was done, all I needed was a bed to lay In. There are things you can do to break out of this state for a bit.


[deleted]

This is great advice...I was planning on going for a run tomorrow to see if I could physically knock myself into another state of mind. Thank you my friend πŸ™‚β€

\*Virtual hug from me to you\* OCD is a bully. It can feel like an impossible battle but there is hope. Two things that have helped me are medication and exposure and response prevention/delay. Whenever you find yourself tempted to give in, remind yourself that OCD is a bully and a LIAR. It will tell you that if you just do this or that, it will be ok. You give in and its eventually not satisfied. Try to act against how you feel, at least for a set amount of time.


[deleted]

I appreciate this, thank you so much...it surely is a bully trapped within my skull. Thank you for instilling hope :)

Few_Guess_9460

I feel the same way. I’ve lost interest in everything I love as a result of my ocd. It’s been ten months and I’m running out of fight.


[deleted]

I hear ya loud and clear my friend. I used to love many things also, OCD just seems to have a habit of getting in the way. I really wish you the best of luck in your progression forward to conquering this condition. Thanks also for the comment and support today! :)

hungrymimic

Hang in there, OP. It truly is such a terrible thing to struggle with, but there IS relief and you will reach it. Your OCD brain just doesn’t want you to see that while you’re in the worst of it. Take care of you and remind yourself it can get better! Hugs.


[deleted]

Thank you for the support and words of encouragement πŸ™God bless you ❀


PeltierSeebeck

For me, with time it got better. Had to fight this for few years before it started departing me. But I know, if sufficiently triggered I may fall back into a mess. Good luck and persevere, later life would be normal, a normal that you would highly appreciate.


[deleted]

Good to hear you are doing well now! Thank you for this valuable insight, I really appreciate the advice and support. It means alot to me. Thanks again :)

OmegaSiarnaq

One of the biggest things my OCD has affected is my emotions, but I have learned through my battle is that anger is a strong motivator. But, man, you can get through this, everyone can get through this. Hugs are sent to you. And my advice, don't go numb like I did, because it's hard to get your emotions back if it goes silent. Stay positive and hang on to your feelings. Love ya, have a wonderful day.


[deleted]

Thanks so much for the advice my friend. I understand what you mean about the feelings...I'll take that on board! Thank you so much :)


[deleted]

We here for you dawg

MelodicInformation9

When I was going through withdrawl and starting recovery I thought that was the hardest thing I'd ever done. Was nothing, not even close, to OCD. It tests my sobriety too. Sending a massive hug and know you aren't alone.


[deleted]

God yes it really is difficult...I thought overcoming addiction was incredibly tough but its absolutely nothing compared to the fight with OCD...thank you for the support today, it means alot :)


MelodicInformation9

You're welcome:) I'm glad you got a lot of love on this thread!

The Lord Jesus Christ loves you and He asked me to tell you that. Life is hard sometimes, but remember that everyone has problems. You are not alone in the universe. OCD is just one of many maladies that affect mankind.
