Uplifting each other
What is something you say to yourself or do that helps you get through OCD?

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 Iāve recovered from other themes in the past, so Iām capable of recovering from the one Iām 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 thatās never been true.

I know itās who I am meaning that this is part time of me. I canāt run away from it but I also can be aware that it hasnāt 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. š„°š„°š„°š„°š„°

āNone of this makes any sense sometimes, but it also doesnāt have to. Life is strange and existing can be such a struggle sometimes, but I know that whatever happens Iām 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 Iām having a downā but my up is nearing soonā Thatās an old passage from my journal ā„ļø hope it suffices

I want to beat OCD because. .
I want to beat OCD because I have seen and felt the benefits of clearing my brain from unnecessary, pointless, thoughts. OCD is like 0 calorie food. Itās pointless. No nutrition or benefits come from my obsessions or compulsions. I donāt care to have answers to everything anymore. I catch myself just trying to stress myself out so that I have some worry to feed on. But like I said, itās a 0 calorie food. I get nothing from it but wasted time and energy. My brain feels more spacious when Iām not consumed by OCD. Iām present. My personality has room to be herself without making space for bullshit. I tell myself now that worry is poison. I think Willie Nelson was the person I got that quote from? Anyways, that imagery of worries being poison for the mind has been transformative for me. Iām evolving. š Thanks NOCD community.

Realizing That Thoughts Are Just Thoughts.
Iāve been thinking a lot about how OCD changes the way we see ourselves, but I recently realized that I am not my thoughts. Just because a thought pops up doesnāt mean itās true or that it defines me. Iāve started learning how to see OCD for what it isājust a disorder trying to trick meāand Iāve become stronger in dealing with it. Has anyone else here had a similar realization? How do you handle these thoughts when they show up?
