Don't forget to cheer each other on! 💪🎉

was beginning a panic attack last night and i used my response prevention tools to help me

I’ve been eating chicken 3-4x a week! I didn’t eat any chicken (even home cooked) for 3 years. Huge win in my life! I feel healthier in every way!

I hug people now. I went years without doing that.

Did an ERP after the gym and was able to sit in ALL the feelings (feelings are the hardest part of OCD - mine’s SOOCD) and survived! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

I road the public bus 3 days in a while visiting a new city

I felt more calmer and happier than ever before, I thank my therapist for helping me through this journey, even though I faced up and downs i know In the end I’ll conquer more

Eating a cookie! I am afraid I will eat too much sugar and get diabetes.

I stared at knives while having big time anxiety

Started driving alone again

Im cooking again, wasn't able to cook without panicing for roughly 2 years.

Gave my niece a proper hug!

I’ve been driving down a road I was convinced I would die on. And I forget to be scared when I drive it now.

I was able to take a vacation and actually enjoy it! I didn’t let OCD ruin the fun of traveling with my wife.

Started a new job today and didn’t overshare any personal info- ROCD. Seems little but it’s a big win.

Learning to better accept uncertainty and that it’s okay if you don’t know.

I bought a tube of toothpaste with a label that was printed super crooked. Sounds small but for my perfectionism it was a big win. In the past I would have shoved it back on the shelf and had way too much anxiety to even think of buying it.

Recognizing that all my distressing thoughts and feelings lately are OCD! What a relief. I thought they meant something. 😬

I didn't remember if I unplugged the toaster oven after using it. I'd just stepped out of the house to walk my 2 dogs. They wanted a walk, not fir me to drag them ba k inside. So I was like well I guess we'll see if i.burn the house down when we get home in 20 min. I kept response preventioning i & I calmed down in about 5 min. Did my fear come true? Nope, house was there. I also had forgotten to check the toaster when I got home. SPOILER: It was unplugged.

felt like I wasn't playing piano perfectly, but kept going despite major anxiety

I did something scary but rewarding so I am glad I didn’t cancel at the last minute like I often do then regret it.

Finally had my first therapy session!

I’ve been using my response prevention in response to my intrusive thoughts that used to make me have panic attacks :)

Yesterday I was able to have a difficult conversation with my boyfriend without going in OCD loops and although I’ve had some doubts today about whether I did enough to reassure him of something deeply important, I’m doing a much better job at not letting it distract me from my work.
