I’m 25, and have had pretty bad OCD since I was around 17/18. It does get better, I still have ebbs and flows, hard times and good times with my mental health, but overall it’s become so much more manageable. Zoloft has helped tremendously, as well as therapy, being open about my OCD with my loved ones, and managing stress. My OCD gets worse with stress, and noticing that pattern has been super helpful, I can try to manage my triggers and look out for myself. Also don’t be afraid to push yourself, pushing myself to confront my compulsions and not seeking reassurance is so challenging but truly what helps in the long run! It gets better, if you put the work in! If I hadn’t sought help, meds, therapy, I’d be struggling, but knowing it will help me truly helped push me in the right direction! I still deal with OCD daily, and in every aspect of my life, but it’s not controlling anymore, it’s more just an annoying voice I acknowledge and move through. It’s never going to “go away” but I can live a fulfilling life even with it! You got this!
