Do you guys feel like you lost years of your life due to OCD?

...My OCD has gotten more manageable, but I definitely feel bad for the years I wasted due to it, especially since it was about sexual ocd due to trauma from sh... I don't even understand how could I waste my time with something that harmed me so much.

I don't get how could I waste so much time and energy with the thoughts and all that... I guess it's a feeling of wishing to change things.
