I know that at times it’s hard to be thankful for who I am and what I have in life. Would you like to help me think more positively with the top 3 things you love about your life? It can be the people you’re surrounded by, a hobby, a food, animal, plant, TV show, weather, etc.
This is so wholesome. I'm grateful for Music, I love listening to music so much, there so many aspects to music that I enjoy from listening, to studying and playing my favourite bands and artists have been a great distraction for me. My family, I have a really loving and supportive family, they aren't perfect but no one is, and I'm so grateful for them. Memes, laughing at funny memes saved on my phone at 3 am really boosts my mood.
-I love my family, best friend, and boyfriend- they are my support!! -I love my growing relationship with God. I was never religious in my teenage years, but I have learned a lot about Christ during my first year at college. It has tremendously helped me with my OCD. Being able to have faith in something that is out of your hands has helped me with obsessive thoughts and compulsions a lot! - I love my passion!! I’m going to school to be an elementary school teacher! I’ve had intrusive thoughts and scary thoughts about this topic before. I am proud to say that although I get scared they will reoccur, I have conquered that chapter of my ocd. I am able to overcome my ocd to focus on my passion, which is helping children learn and grow. I am proud of myself and even though more often than not I’m having a bad ocd flare up, I know that whatever is bothering me will be okay. You are not your thoughts! ❤️
I am grateful for: My family My friends Video games K-Pop
Three things I love: That by sheer coincidence, I found a job that I love: teaching teenagers That by the even bigger coincidence, I happen to be born in Germany, a democracy, at a time where being part of the lgbtq minority is still not perfect, but relatively safe That I get to witness how most people are just loving, caring souls who try their best
I’m grateful for: - funny books and skits (like SNL). The break the humor offers my brain is such a lifesaver! - nature. Squirrels are hilarious. - those passing moments of connection with strangers, whether from a post they put online or from a brief interaction in real life, where I feel mentally “close” to and “seen” by another person
I love and am grateful that my struggles made me open minded to other people that struggle. I am grateful for my family, pets , and the ones before me who gave me this life. And I am also grateful for God and where I am in life, even if it’s not what I feel like I want right now. what a blessing to be able to say “ugh im too tired for school, work, etc” as many people aren’t as fortunate.
@dee012 So interesting that you wrote that about other people struggling. I feel the exact same way. For example addiction I now understand better because I feel like our „substance“ in the OCD world is certainty.
What are your wins/win recently? Also what is something you are grateful for in your ocd journey? My win is starting trauma therapy finally. Im very nervous but I know it will be beneficial. As for what Im grateful for with my ocd journey, its the love and support of my husband who has stuck by me for almost 20 years so far through all my diificult battles with ocd. I hope this post inspires people and gives them hope! It does get better! I also suffer from bipolar, anxiety and ptsd, too and it is possible to live a good life with multiple mental issues.
How do I not allow my ocd to steal the joy out of all of my most joyful moments right now. I know I should pray more for God to help me see the good and peace these amazing situations bring, but I just can’t get this pit out of my stomach. I get angry easily and have a short temper, I hate it. My boyfriend has been so patient with me but although he says it’s okay and he understands it’s still something I don’t want him to be on the receiving end of… Please help. Any and all advice is appreciated, please be nice💕
