Making peace with the past
If you have walked through any of these things listed below, what helped you? 1) How do I make peace with the important moments that OCD ruined in my life? Some of these moments I had prayed for and looked forward to for so long. Then my intrusive thoughts, fears, anxiety robbed me from feeling present and joyful in some really important moments. I can’t get those moments back. 2) I needed therapy and support for years, definitely for undiagnosed OCD and other problems it caused. How do I make peace with the younger version of myself who tried to heal on her own and not get the help she so desperately needed? 3) Forgive those who played a role in stressing me out to the point that my OCD became excruciating in July. 4) Forgive myself for deciding to get friendly with those who ended up causing my stress and then long term OCD symptoms and depression to spike out of control, despite my better judgment. 5) Rebuild a relationship with God after turning my back on him, telling him he must not care about me because he didn’t protect me from these people and this experience. I feel like there’s a lot of self pity in my post lol, I guess that’s just where I am right now in my story! Encouragement and advice from people who can relate would be AWESOME. I really want to get better broken heart 💔 ❤️🩹 😕
