OCD 6w
Hi everyone PLEASE READ THIS: I’ve struggled with OCD for over 6 years and for years I couldn’t even navigate my own home due to the compulsions being so bad. Navigating middle and high school while dealing with OCD was incredibly difficult 1/2

to say the least but in the past 6 months I have gotten so much better and barely have OCD anymore which has made my life so much better and I’m posting this not to brag or gloat but because if you’re struggling I just want to say I PROMISE it can and will get better! I know how debilitating OCD can be and how much you may want to give up but it WILL get better so hang in there!!!

So happy for you! I struggled with it every day for 5ish years and then it finally went away pretty much completely for 4 years, it’s come back a little for the last couple years but definitely not as bad as before

To be honest I moved away for college and getting a fresh start helped a lot but I know not everyone can do that

I’m honestly not even sure?? I’m currently struggling a lot with checking compulsions and a lot of mental compulsions, but I feel like my answer to this changes weekly. I actually did move out recently, and it’s made everything a million times worse for some reason
