idk if it helps but.... dogs exist and they're rly cute and amazing. so yea.. remember doggos
Infinitesoul I'm sending you hugs and kisses. I've cried all day too. I felt defeated today. At this very moment I am sort of "calmed", but not happy or satisfied. I am trying to practice acceptance and handling uncertainty. Noticing there is nothing I can do to prevent certain fears from coming true, and accepting that. Still, I also now that not because something bad could happen, it means it will. Infinitesoul we'll get through this
I was babysitting last night for a family that I sit for often. The kid (5) and I were doing our usual nightly routine (dance party, brush teeth, read a book, snuggle in bed, say goodnight 800 times) and as we were doing that he ran over to me out of no where and gave me a hug. He isn’t usually very affectionate so it warmed my heart so much. And then once I said the 801st goodnight and turned the lights off, he said “Leah, I love you”. I rarely even hear him say to his parents. I said “I love you too buddy” and then went to the living room and cried a little because he decided to share his sweet sweet innocent little heart with me. I’m so sorry today hasn’t been good for you, friend. Deep breathes (in through your nose, our through your mouth). Today does not define tomorrow. Or the rest of your life. I wish I could give you a hug of strength, but here’s a virtual one- *hugs*. I PROMISE you will have days where everything is just a little bit easier. And then they will get better from there. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You will get through this sometimes we have to go through hard things to appreciate life more hope tomorrow brings you more happiness❣️
@Leah omg this made me smile so big, I can’t even explain it. wowow oh my gosh I love babysitting and that’s so cute how he opened his heart up to you like that, thank you so much for sharing this. It made me remember all the simple, happy moments in life that hold so much matter. Absolutely adorable thank you so so much, wow Leah I’m legit sending you many virtual *hugs* right back, you seriously always know what to say and it means more than you could ever know. This is everything and I feel so much more strength and hope about tomorrow because of this. Very thankful for you ?
Awww Im SO GLAD!!? thankful for you, your ideas, and your strength!!❤️❤️
@Leah right back at you times a million!! strongest person I know

I'm sorry I think my post isn't happy. I think that one of the good things that ocd has given me is that I appreciate more the moments of peace I actually get.
@nane that helps SO much wow dogs are the absolute best, made me smile! thank you so much
@maga no no your post means everything and it gives me hope that I can get to that calm state where I just accept how things are. I’m so proud of you for getting there and for realizing how important it is to accept uncertainty. thank you beyond words, I needed to hear that more than you could know. we will get through this, means the world
@justlive thank you so so much :) wow this was exactly what I needed to hear, you’re the best
also if anyone sees this can you please comment something positive for me to wake up to ): it would mean a lot because i always wake up with extreme anxiety in the morning
I’ve been having a hard time lately, and could really use some hope right now :”)
Today and yesterday were some of my hardest days in recent memory. I had therapy today and I’m not sure if it made things better or worse. Today I’m struggling with what is and isn’t ocd. Im also exhausted because I got a terrible nights sleep last night from anxiety, and Im sure the compounded exhaustion is making it all worse. I would love if anyone could share what they did today, whether it be good or bad because I love finding support and comfort within this community. Hope y’all are doing better.
