Uplifting each other

Honestly the NOCD community has been so helpful to be in. Being surrounded by people that understand what your going thru really helps. I always tell myself that this is not forever. I will not always feel like this. I imagine freedom from OCD. What it will look like for me and feel like. I meditate on that and I know i will be free one day. We all will. 100% recovery is possible!

I tell myself that I’ve recovered from other themes in the past, so I’m capable of recovering from the one I’m going through now. I know this is no different than the others, even though my brain wants to convince me otherwise.

Remembering that each time I was in an OCD flare, I became convinced I would never have a good day again, but that’s never been true.

I know it’s who I am meaning that this is part time of me. I can’t run away from it but I also can be aware that it hasn’t stopped me from having a beautiful life career family etc. I experience true joy and sometimes my struggles are isolating and hard as hell but I hang on because I LOVE THIS BEAUTIFUL LIFE IVE BEEN GIVEN. I love being able to check in with all of you and also respect and appreciate all your voices and energy. Do yes I have OCD and I guess in its own way it contributes to making me who I am but I am not OCD! I am a human being with lots of love to share and everyday I get to be here w my family and loved ones is a miracle to behold!!! Rock on my fellow warriors. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Be brave. Be calm

“None of this makes any sense sometimes, but it also doesn’t have to. Life is strange and existing can be such a struggle sometimes, but I know that whatever happens I’m going to decide to be okay. I will adapt, privet, and work through the ups and downs of life because a life fully lived is a life filled with ups and downs. Right now I’m having a down— but my up is nearing soon” That’s an old passage from my journal ♥️ hope it suffices

Math... therapist said it uses a different part of the brain and well I aint a fan anyways so I do drug calculations. Singing even if I'm bad at it.
