People tell me that there's hope to have freedom from the OCD or to manage the OCD. But I have been told that my OCD is very bad and that it's going to be an ongoing problem. They are just trying to get to the place where they can teach me how to manage it so I can live as normal a life as possible. When I heard that it would be an ongoing problem I felt pretty hopeless. I hear people say that I'll be able to manage the OCD and at the moment I feel like it's impossible. I feel like I am being asked to do something that is beyond me. I feel like life is not going to get any better. I have very severe depression and I wonder how much longer I can go on functioning in life. I worry that I will eventually lose the fight. Because it feels like the biggest fight. Everyday I just endure so many things. The dread I feel is so overwhelming. Sometimes I feel very hopeless about life and other times I have alot of hope. Sorry that your daughter suffers so much. Hope she is heaps better soon.
