    I used to be on here all day, worried over every little thing, back in 2016/17. Now, five years on Prozac I'm doing so much better. Something finally clicked in my brain, and I no longer fear what I cannot control. If it's meant to be, it'll happen. Or, it won't. Who knows? Not me, and that's okay.

    Telling him won't make your OCD go away. It'll just ask you to repeat the same compulsions ad nauseum.

    No need to apologize, we've all been there. Any harshness in my words was directed towards your OCD, not you. You're ok, Rocket.

    Obsession: that thought Compulsion: posting here You have OCD. That's all the information you need to feel better. This isn't how normal people with fetishes think. You're not in denial, you have OCD.

    Here's my contribution: How do I get evaluated for OCD?

    My theory is that, since I suffered from OCD for so long, it was a knee-jerk response of my brain to revert to the cycle. That said, I consider myself an ex-sufferer, as I don't experience distress from that cycle, nor do I feel trapped in it. To compare, I've stopped drinking, due to a problem with alcohol. Some people wouldn't consider me an alcoholic, anymore. But I think a more apt description would be a recovering alcohol. I don't think recovery is an end goal, but rather a journey. We're all doing our best.

    Free. Prozac saved my life. I still get intrusive thoughts, as everyone does, but they don't control me, anymore. It's one of the most amazing feelings, watching those thoughts fade, knowing they would've hurt you so much before. I used to think OCD would rule my life, forever, but it didn't have to. Recovery is possible.

    Fluoxetine saved my life, but it could be the opposite for you. That said, I wish you the best of luck!
