Taking back control

My confidence, my self trust, and my relationship

My confidence. Freedom to let the BS roll off of me.

Being able to stay calm

My time and ability to just have fun and enjoy life

All the time I lost to intrusive thoughts and compulsions.

My trust in myself.

Confidence to be the dad and health care provider I can be

My marriage, my sense of reality, my personality, my peace……

My identity, confidence, and staying close to my values

Being present in conversations with friends/coworkers/family/anyone! That’s been one of the most incredible things I’ve been able to take back 🥹🥹

Trusting my own judgement

My self-assuredness!

Control over my mind

My life… it’s my life, my decisions, my behaviors, and my values to live by… I don’t want to live by the whim of whatever OCD says to scare me any given day and influence my behavior… which day over day, makes up my life.

my time, peace, freedom, self confidence & quality of life.

My body, my breath, my instincts

Spending time outside:)

my confidence in myself and my decisions

My confidence and pride in my sexuality and gender identity

My spirituality

My confidence, my self trust, and my relationship

My time and my ambition to reach my goals (I’ve done this 🥰)

My time and self worth/ self esteem

trust and rationality

All of the time I spend convinced that I am dying or have some terrible disease. All of the time I spend anxious.

Time and self trust and my love of travel and exploration

The freedom of time to spend NOT engaging in compulsive behaviors and enjoying the people, animals, and things I love.

Time, confidence, energy…but especially the freedom to make choices in my life without factoring in my fears. I’m getting better every day thanks to ERP, but I sometimes wonder what my life would be like without OCD in the mix. 🙃

My self trust, confidence , and peace

My peace, I used to could enjoy things like Video games, music, rain, daydreams etc. But OCD rarely lets me get peace to do that

My confidence. My trust in myself. My trust in God

My fun loving caring self

My fear around creating family and messing it up

My brain

OCD is making me read slower and I used to be proud of how fast I could read so I am working on getting through a page faster.

My relationship, my confidence

The Love, respect, time with and support that my family ONCE forever had for me, for them to believe in me again and trust me as they always did before, and regain my identity calling role and love of my role as caring , loving, and nurturing mother that IS MY LIFE PURPOSE!

My relationship, trusting my self, self confidence

Time lost to rumination. The false belief that I was inadequate or there was something wrong with me because I wasn’t perfect. My sexuality. My fucked-up ego.

My confidence, my self-trust, my fearlessness, and my motivation

My confidence and self esteem

My time.

My weight

My self worth. To not be so affected by others

my control over what my mind and my thoughts do & my ability to tolerate sit with uncertainty without it causing significant anxiety

My time and piece of mind.

My confidence, my purpose and most importantly my health. December 2023 I suffered a bad back injury and it shook my world big time.

My whole life

My quality time with my daughter. I know intrusive thoughts will still come but I want to be to the point where they don’t get a rise out of me whatsoever when enjoying quality time with my daughter. She’s what matters most to me in this world.

The Love, respect, time with and support that my family ONCE forever had for me, for them to believe in me again and trust me as they always did before, and regain my identity calling role and love of my role as caring , loving, and nurturing mother that IS MY LIFE PURPOSE!

My sexuality!

My attitude. Not judge and practice what I preach
