Anyone here suffer with OCD?

Anyone here suffer with OCD?
Any advice or success stories?
How does it affect your life? I've been dealing with contamination OCD for the last few years now and my life seems to be going nowhere because of it.

Baby steps in the right direction. OCD isn't a battle, it's a war of attrition. The less collective times you give in, the weaker it gets. Sometime you should intentionally give in hardcore to vent the feelings, but only once in a while and when the consequences are minor.

Where do you start though? I have a lot of "but what if" thoughts
Thanks for the reply anyway

unironically being heavily medicated for me but i'm guessing thats not what you're asking

Anxiety is just a part of life, honestly I usually just tell myself to stop being a pussy in my head. That doesn't mean you go to the opposite extreme and dgaf though, try to be rational about the likelihood of something happening. My main struggle is compulsions desu and rituals. Maybe it's more subconscious anxiety for me. Point is, the more you give in, the stronger it gets. Slowly fight it and take an inch at a time, vent it out at times to prevent catastrophic collapse later on. Overall you should be inching forward though.

depression and self-hatred solved my ocd. Bcs I didn't care anymore if something bad would happen to me or the world. Indeed I actively started trying to break my obsessive behaviours, hoping bad consequences would hit me or the world start burning.

I mainly have compulsions but also the overthinking about what's usually the worst case scenario or whatever I'm most worried about
I guess ignoring the smaller compulsions is the best way to start
I don't have rituals, I'm guessing yours are checking or something similar?

And how do you feel now? Just depressed? Maybe just being depressed would be easier to deal with

yeah severe pure O ocd for..... 6 years now. I recently decided to stop taking my meds because they didn't help

no depression is worse. You simply don't give a fuck about anything.
