How’s everyone doing?

Just wanted to check in with everyone. How is your week going? It’s ok if it’s not been very good. Always here to chat if anyone is struggling. OCD is so hard, but you don’t have to battle it alone. 💖 I’ve had some ups and downs this week but the highlight has been volunteering at a local animal rescue. And guess what I’m doing there?!? Walking the overweight donkey because she needs exercise 😂😂 Apparently when they rescued her they were told she was pregnant so they just let her eat and eat. Turns out she wasn’t! So she’s been living her best life lol. I start walking her tomorrow and I’m so excited. I’ll post photos 🫏

Thank you for your post! It brought a huge smile to my face. What a treat for you to get to hang out with a donkey 🫏. I’ve been struggling with a what I consider an odd theme this week. which I don’t really know how to explain other than thinking phrases, and occasional profanity as unwanted thoughts. Almost like if you’re recalling something, somebody said but more vividly almost like if you’re hearing it externally, but you know it’s in your head.

@Nicole Bb It’s creating a lot of anxiety 😬 because OCD is trying to convince me it’s schizophrenia.

@Nicole Bb I’m sorry you’re dealing with a new theme, but the fact that you’ve identified it as a theme shows you understand it’s the OCD. Sending you big hugs and hoping you can find some joy this week!

That sounds like fun 🤣 I've volunteered at animal sanctuarys before and I didn't get to do that. I was almost eaten alive by pigs, attacked by a turkey named Ed ( only animal I'd happily eat. Evil lil f*cker). The rescued fighting Cockerells were as big as a fridge and they weren't half as violent as that turkey. Fed a baby deer which is the cutest thing you'll ever see in your life. Honestly you'll never see anything cuter. But 90% of the time I was cleaning poop 😅. So walking a donkey a fat ass donkey sounds amazing in comparison. As for my week, finances are stressing me as the tax man looms over this time of year. Someone I have a crush on just broke up with her bf and I have mixed emotions about that. I just want her to be happy. Break ups are hard

@Wolfram I laughed out loud when I read that you were attacked by a Turkey 😂 I needed that! Lol. That’s so great you’re had lots of experience with animal sanctuaries! I actually don’t mind shoveling shit at all. It usually lets me get up close with the animals which is always the goal for me lol. Sorry to hear about financial stress. I’m right there with you with taxes! Only thing I can say about your crush is depending upon the length of her relationship, she will need some time to heal. Breakups are hard, and the fact that you want her to be happy just shows how genuine your feelings are. I hope it works out for you!

!NOTE! READ BELOW. HI EVERYONEEEEE ? - I just want you all to know that we need to cheer up! Let’s stop focusing on the bad things about our illnesses and let’s focus on the good.? Talking about a bad experience will not help you in anyway, even though it’s okay to sometimes because GUILT is a HUMONGOUS part of OCD. We need to take that love with no where go, and put it in positivity and the good things that happen in our lives. - Ever since this “ Group “ part of NOCD started I’ve noticed people like to talk about their bad experiences but we need to change. This needs to be a positive part of this app. Not somewhere to read bad experiences. - I will start by saying; TODAY I showered, I washed my my favourite pair of Pyjamas. ( So they will be nice and clean for tonight ? ) I was sick today but managed to still get these things done. I FaceTimed my best friend for about an hour. I ate Chinese, and I made Kraft Dinner. Also later I’ll be playing with my NEW son TINY. ?❤️ Your turn guys! ?

Hi everyone! It’s been a while! For anyone that doesn’t know me, I’m Daisy :) I’ve been a part of this forum since it first opened and boy has it come far! I’m 18 and live in Australia ?? I’m currently 8 weeks into an inpatient hospital stay due to the severity of my OCD. So believe me when I say, I’m very, very familiar with OCD and how truly horrendous it can be to live with. I just wanted to let others know that I’m here to listen if they need someone to vent to. Sometimes it’s hard to open up as an obsessive-compulsive because our thoughts are so terrifyingly intrusive. Our friends and family, although supportive, can be unfamiliar with the mechanisms of these horrific thoughts and how to approach them. Feel free to ask me anything! I’ve taken dozens of medications, seen many specialist and engaged in multiple different therapies. If anyone’s interested in life as an inpatient, I’m more than happy to answer some questions ? Hope you’re all wonderful ? d a i s y

Self-care check in.

Hey everyone, How has your week been ? Is there anything you have achieved and feel proud to share ? Also, if you haven’t achieved something you was wanting, let’s hear about it also so we can all support you. With another weekend fast upon us, I realised how poor I’ve been with self care in recent weeks! The quote “you can’t poor from an empty cup” is so true and made me realised how important it is to take even 5 minutes out every now and then to recharge and connect with your self. It can be super hard to do this when battling with OCD I understand completely but it’s also super important we try as we are all worth it and use a lot of energy when anxious with OCD. I can remember when I was really struggling at the start of my journey, I would try to doodle as I loved this, it helped and allowed me to also reflect how strong I can be and have been before as well as taking some time out. Your all worth it, important, kind and amazing. Take some time out this weekend for yourselves. 🙂
