Feels like ocd is built into me

[maurinedean182Participant]

When you worry about if your ocd is ever going to go away, do you feel like its built into who you are, like you have built in personal reasons for being like this? People blame me for bad things, and I let them do it cause I feel like I have no defences or rights or will never be okay, I guess it’s highly likely that some people with OCD like me will actually have this horrid conditions as long as we possibly live.

I Think a lot of us have a tendency toward it… Maybe from past life experiences…

We can get around it though… Definitely…  I  am in recovery now…

Have a look in your nearest bookshop… Look in the health section, there are new books coming out regularl. They are so great to handle too…
