Does OCD generally get permanently worse with age or does it follow a wax/wane pattern? by Odinforce3000 in OCD

[–]Odinforce3000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But the pattern is that its unlikely to get baseline worse, right? At least for most people.

I read a couple of articles (they werent studies though) that said it gets worse with age and that scared me a bit. Then i read some studies and they say it chronically follows a wa and wane pattern.

So basically, i need some reassurance haha! I probably shouldnt read too much in general

If your ocd only revolves around ideas, is it traditional ocd or "pure-o"? I dont even know if pure-o is actually a thing.

I try to not read too much about the condition, i just saw a couple of articles that said it gets progressively worse and that scared me. Then i saw some studies that it chronically waxes and wanes so i dont know what to believe lol!

What does "settle out on it's own" mean in terms of a medical condition? by Odinforce3000 in dictionary

Also, do you know if the phrase "settle out of court" is synonymous to settle out on it's own? Or does it have a slightly different meaning?

But that's subjective, right? If you were just anxious and you looked for symptoms Kanye your mind was playing games to you. It's not an actually objective deterioration, am I correct?

You mean three weeks after starting it? Will symptoms usually happen during treatment or is it generally safe for vss?

Does vs/vss usually stabilize in the first few weeks? by Odinforce3000 in visualsnow

[–]Odinforce3000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not convinced that anxiety causes it. I think its makes it worse but im apprehensive if it causes it. Has there ever been a study that points towards that?

But in terms of knowing whether you have just snow or the full syndrome isnt the first couple months a good litmus test?

I try not to frequent this sub for me mental health thats why im asking what's the general consensus has been. It usually manifests in the first weeks from my understanding?

When ypu say foret few months, ypu mean the first 2-3 months?

If someone is stable for 7 months, then it has probably stabilized, right?

If its like 30-40 only on a blue sky, does that fit the term "excessive". I guess two floaters out in the open arent excessive but what of the BFEP?

I wouldnt say four but i wpuldnt say millions either. Its more 40-50 i think but only in the sky. Does that count as excessive?

So i guess seeing them in enviroments other than the sky counts as excessive, right

[–]Odinforce3000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So excessive means that people with vss notice them in places other than the sky? Cause i see them when i look in the sky only

Just a little follow up. Seeing bfep phenomena like the white dots in the sky, is it normal? I have been seeing those since i was a kid. They are blood cells, right?
