How is everyone
How is everyone
I’m doing good as I can be! Just want to be there for people here as they have been for me and to live a happy life! I hope everything is going good for you too! 😊
@Xwi Thankyou
Doing good. Realised I have a new boundary I want to keep. How about you?
@Wolfram Oh awesome keep at it everyone needs boundaries… I’m doing okay OCD has reared its head a little today but all is good
@Blueberrycows As long as you've got it, glad to hear 😊
Me thinking about how my real event was triggered by speaking briefly to a friend that I’m not close with. It’s the fact that they don’t know and what if they find out some how it’s really getting to me. But I’m trying to get my mind off it as we speak :,) I hope your day is going well, these check ins you do is so nice to see
@ughhhh I always want to check on everyone because everyone is valued here
I didn’t have the best day, but that’s ok. Today I was feeling very sad and depressed about my lack of community. I don’t really feel like I belong anywhere and since I don’t have a lot of people in my life, it’s easy to go down a spiral. Sigh. But I’m feeling better now. How are you doing?
@emilytravelswild I’m good thankyou
@emilytravelswild I know I’m a complete stranger, but I want you to know that you are not alone in this. I can tell you are a genuine person, and I wish nothing but peace and happiness for you. I hope your day gets better.🙏🏽
@Sonder🌸 Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate them more than you know. Hoping you’re having a good start to your week!
feeling worried and anxious about trying to sleep because of my ocd thoughts I don’t want them to get out of control because it caused me a panic attack yesterday
Does anyone have tips on good sleep hygeine? What does everyone use to relax and wind down before bedtime?
Tonight is one of the hardest nights I’ve ever had with harm ocd. It’s really one of those nights I’m doubting it’s ocd. I’m having panic attack after panic attack and it’s been the past couple of days where it’s been its highest. I’m doing everything I can to cope, like a hot shower (in the middle of a panic attack, hardest thing ever) skin care, turning my diffuser on and skincare. I took a klonopin but it hasn’t kicked in yet. My brain is beating me up with thoughts like “who thinks like this, you’re a serial killer! A murderer! You should be locked up!” Watching my family around me have peace and be normal is so hard because I’m here struggling to just lay down and relax. Part of me feels like I’m gonna lose my mind and end up in the hospital tonight. I just need positive reinforcement and people who can relate. Are you guys there?
I was going to ask for advice and vent after i just had an episode but reading through everyones post on here. I can see that everyone is collectively struggling at the moment and i think we need to utilize this community for more than just sharing our sadness. Nothing is wrong with venting of course but i feel like there isnt enough positive energy here to encourage everyone to keep going. I know asking for reassure feels like a must sometimes and trust me everyone has asked for it, it was a heavy compulsion of mine. But reassure is not what you need. It will make it worse everyone please trust me. Instead of letting out mind win we must support each other, understand our struggles but also share out wins. I feel like we dont use this community enough for finding friendship among us or spreading enough happiness. OCD Is not a happy disorder but seeing that everyone here is just here either hating on someone, people being too afraid to ask for help or no one reading peoples post. This place isnt just for our negative thoughts and events to fester we need to support each other here too! Ask for help, comment on peoples post with love everyone is struggling. In this community we should help pull each other out from dark places not let them stay there. I hope everyone who is going through it right has a better night/day/afternoon. You’re loved deeply your not a monster, your not evil, your not dirty, your not a heretic your Nothing your thoughts tell you are. Peace to you🤍🤍🤍🤍
