When i was dealing with a bad bout of depression and ocd i found reading other people’s mental health wins (and posting my own)very encouraging. Nothing is too small! My wins have ranged from showering to working out. Be proud of each step you take to improve your mental health!
I experienced a bad trigger Tuesday morning and instead of washing my hands right away, I was able to go the entire day at work taking care of tasks, and waited to wash my hands at home. Still gave into the compulsion eventually, but I didn't let it disrupt my job this time.
@Anonymous Awesome! Good job
Well, last week I also got a really bad trigger, I was in a very poor place a day after but then I was able to get over it with another day or two. I was so scared it will last because last time when I was triggered like that, I felt awful for months. Now I think my meds are helping as well but still I was panicked that I will stay in a state of constant anxiety.
@Patrycja Glad to hear it.
To bring some positivity in: what is something everyone has done this week that they are proud of? I would love to hear! Please share whatever you are comfortable with!
