What are some wins you had this week?
I’ve been able to lean into uncertainty even when it’s hard!! Also, something fun, I got a custom bracket that says “conquer” with a wave and surf board that remind me even though I can’t control the “waves” of OCD, I can learn how to surf ☀️
@Anonymous I love that!!!!
@Anonymous That’s so cool!
Got out of my house today to walk in a park with my friend, even though part of me wanted to isolate! It’s sunny for the first time in a long time, and I always forget how fresh air helps my mental health. How about you?
@ElleV That’s great!! I applied to go back to college yesterday 🥹🥹🥹
@JaxC Omg that’s amazing! I’m so proud!
@JaxC What do you want to study?
@ElleV I’m majoring in Business Administration/Management!
@JaxC That’s so awesome!
@ElleV Thank you for your support ✨💃
It is proven that if you write your goals down they are statistically more likely to be successful. Feel free to write your goals down here. I want to run 1km without stopping, I want to lose 5kg and I want to improve my credit score. Just a bit of funamd we'll see what happens.
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. It’s pointless. No nutrition or benefits come from my obsessions or compulsions. I don’t 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, it’s a 0 calorie food. I get nothing from it but wasted time and energy. My brain feels more spacious when I’m not consumed by OCD. I’m 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. I’m evolving. 💖 Thanks NOCD community.
What’s one small win or act of bravery you’ve had this week, even if it felt really hard? **OCD recovery isn’t about perfection—it's about progress, even if it's tiny. Maybe you delayed a compulsion by 30 seconds. Maybe you showed up here today to express you struggles or support others. These are wins, and they matter. Let’s celebrate them together.
