Something I know, but should learn to use anyway.
For all of us who judge ourselves for decisions, actions, other people's jugdement, humiliating, and insults of us. I hope we manage to live by these meditations.

@Wolfram Hello. I am quite ok. Ocd is flaring up a bit, actually it's anxiety, the fear and anticipation of what if... (typical for thought and emotional contamination ocd). I am happy that you are active and are not giving in to ocd. You are lucky you live in the USA where mental health care is much more advanced than in the majority of the European countries, especially in the field of treating ocd. Take all that it offers to you all. Here everyone thinks they can treat ocd, but only one might actually be trained enough to do it. Well, he works too far away from me and he is filthy expensive. I love the idea of gardening and everything else you have planned. Bravo! Wolfram, how are you managing work and ocd...? Is ocd quiet at work? How are you feeling lately about blaming yourself and regrets and guilt. Have you managed to stop the tears? I hope so. Have been thinking of you every single day. Have a great day! 😊

@NODA What can you do to seal with your anxiety? Hope it gets better soon. I'm actually in England 😅 but my mother is a therapist and knows quite a lot who can help where I live. Ocs is usually quiet during work or I might die if I don't concentrate. My crying has stopped and I'm more determined than ever to get better because the woman who said she was assaulted and wanted me to protect her actually lied.. Not the first time that's happened shockingly. I seem to attract people like that, or we attract each other because my protective compulsions..

To the extent possible I try to maintain two therapists one on here for ERP and one elsewhere for CBT . Healthcare is good , but with that said sometimes cannot afford the copay even with health insurance. NOCD charges me much higher copay for therapy than my copay for CBT with my other therapist. I missed the heavy metal festival that was earlier in August in the UK 🇬🇧. They scheduled the next one for August 2025 already .Giving it thought to go Bloodstock 2025 runs 8/7/25 through 8/10/25 .

That festival isn't even too much a drive for me. I'd be envious if you went.

@Wolfram Is that general area fairly safe, I would be traveling alone.

@777Q You never really know, especially with festivals. I mean one street could be fine and the next is sketchy 🤷♂️ that's all over the UK though. So, I think you'll be fine. Just be yourself and aware like you would anywhere else
