this is so cute :)

opening up about ocd is so hard, even when i know i’m in a safe space, but i’m so glad i did. i wouldn’t necessarily call myself a conqueror, but i know i’ve definitely made significant improvements; and that, in itself, is something to be proud of. i’m still learning how to accept that ocd is a part of me and my journey, whether i like it or not, but i’m so grateful to have access to the tools that help me do that. one of THEE most important things i’ve learned how to do is sit in a uncomfortable feelings and not run away from it. it’s such a helpful technique, especially knowing that negative emotions are going to affect you throughout your life, so it’s important to realize you don’t have to be afraid of them. i haven’t been feeling the best lately but that’s ok. i know i’m not where i was a year ago and i’m so incredibly proud of that.
