I really don't know whether I am ...it's ok. I really don't know whether I am progressing. It's like a steep hill. Sometimes it gets really hard for me to climb up while at times I feel things have become easier. But reading your posts inspires me (to be honest sometimes make me depressed as well probably because I understand it as well).<br />Have you by chance read this blog http://ocdexposed.com/<br />The author is an old lady which again makes me frightened that this disorder can be prevalent at all ages.<br />thanks again for your replysaadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180443944080254295.post-61056304024208696332016-10-14T12:10:17.255-07:002016-10-14T12:10:17.255-07:00Hi Saad, sorry it took me so long to respond. We ...Hi Saad, sorry it took me so long to respond. We are definitely not alone with OCD, although it feels like it sometimes. I guess I've never looked at it that way, but I definitely do see OCD as an enemy, a bully. It is something we need to stand up to, as it dictates our lives. And the more we give in to it, the worse we get. And then the harder it becomes to get out. All the more important to keep fighting against it. I hope that you are doing well with your OCD and making progress too!<br />hopefulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02964188029918140725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180443944080254295.post-33382329689064735382016-10-03T22:27:15.669-07:002016-10-03T22:27:15.669-07:00hi there.

I call it and consider it as my enemy. then one day it occured to me can this OCD monster be the work of the Devil? Can it be the one who is referred to as my greatest enemy?<br />I have come to realize that during my fight with my own self (fight against OCD) I have given a persona to OCD (similar to as others call it a monster). And then I have considered this aspect that an enemy will never want me to prosper and would never want me to be happy. when i talk to myself i sometimes feel that can it be satan that is directing these thoughts in my head so that i cannot be happy?<br />I wrote these because there has been very similar things between myself and what i have read on your blogs. And recently I have started to feel this devil's role in my whole ocd issues a lot so wanted if you ever had this perspective as well?<br /><br />was indeed glad to read your improvement and pray that you continue to prosper<br />regards<br />SaadSaadnoreply@blogger.com
