Share your good days

My OCD was basically “gone” today and I forgot what life was like without it. So I wanted to share and see what you’ve noticed on low/no OCD days. I spent most of the day sleeping and then hiking with my dog (both fun and relaxing), I played my switch, I ate a lot of protein rich foods (hard for me to do usually), I helped out family with tech tasks, talked to two friends and texted my bf. My ROCD is still humming in the background “why isn’t he texting you more” “I bet he’s cheating on you” “do you even have enough in common work?!” But because it’s not scaring me, it just fades back again. I forgot how peaceful it can be when 90% of my brain isn’t fighting itself. How about you? Share your good days.

I felt this last weekend! It made me sad I don’t feel like this more often but trying to remember moods ebb and flow as part of life and I’m working towards more days like this. It’s just so crazy having days of clarity like that realizing how often my brain is bogged down.

@tud09499 Nice! Yeah I forgot too. I’m trying not to put pressure on it cuz I know OCD will find a way to latch onto it,

I’m really happy for you and it’s good to know others are dealing with feeling like 90% of the time your mind is bogged down.

@Anonymous Thanks, the ERP def helped me a lot. Yeah it feels like I’m constantly fighting my brain, my feelings, my thoughts usually.

Today was my first good day in a year and a half! I know I’ll still have bad days but this gives me hope.

When I have a good day I want to hang onto it. It's a struggle to be thankful for the good days while the bad seem to come so often.
