Question for anybody

@cat_dog45 Thank you so much for sharing that, truly. Hey, there is a blue button on the main screen on the bottom right that uses exactly fit your kind of situation. Please use that resource, I’ve heard it helps a lot. Haven’t had to use it yet myself. Also there’s groups you can join here that could help a ton. Do you know where they are located in the app?

@Someonemaybe no where are they located ? and thank you so much for the tip

@cat_dog45 Absolutely, you’re very welcome. In your therapy page, if you scroll down, you’ll see a “support” box. Click on that and you can search through the different groups available and when they occur. If something seems interesting and you want to know more about it, click on it and a more in depth description will render. I hope that helps.

@Someonemaybe thank you so much

@cat_dog45 You are so very welcome. I had no idea about the groups and different tools here until a little bit ago. They are actually useful and truly help. Try the journal as well, in your therapy page, in the practice tab. It lets you breathe and vent and lets your therapist have insight to things you may forget to share in session. Thank you as well for responding, awesome 💯.

@Anonymustard Yes!!!! That’s excellent and a great start. Thank you so much for sharing. Hopefully you can say that collectively soon. Thank you again🙂

@Sammi Oh man, i know you’re ocd is working you today. Breathe at every opportunity, nice and full, even if for a second. You got this!! Thank you for sharing and thank you for what you do. It’s definitely not something many can 💯!

@sophea Thank you for sharing that. That’s a hard place to be, no doubt. There is a blue button on the main page that is designed specifically for your type of situation. It will give you some tools to help you get past this. It sucks feeling like you just can’t. But you can! Use those tools and keep reaching out like this. I’m so proof of you for reaching out today, truly awesome💯. By doing that, you’ve already started fighting back, that’s a hell of a start🥹.

@Someonemaybe I think you're seriously overestimating my distress. I'm coloring, listening to music, and chilling.

@sophea lol i may have and i apologize. You never know what somebody is actually going through so i figured better safe than struggling 🙂. But do what you know you need to as well so by avoiding you don’t let the ocd win this one. Then get back to what you’re doing. I’m jealous lol, i want to be chilling and listening to or playing music, either one 🤣. Almost off work though and it’s Friday so, sweet!!

@jheredia Thank you for sharing this, it’s a huge step forward when we do that. I did the same by waiting for what seemed like forever to come to terms with needing help with my head. I figured i could figure things out on my own. After undeniable evidence, i realized i was way off and lost. So i reached out and now I’m finally able to start making sense of things and get things right. I’m so grateful you’re here and for all of us who found our way here, seeking guidance and healing day by day. It’s the most beneficial app i think I’ve ever been part of. Keep posting and reaching out, it’s part of the road to healing for sure. With each positive step you take, you’re one step closer to healing. If you are in a tough spot and need immediate guidance, there is a blue button in the home page that shows you to access tools to work through what you’re dealing with effectively. There’s groups here as well that cover nearly all ocd topics. Do you know where to find them? I go to the self compassion group on here @6pm, it’s an awesome bunch of people for sure. Thank you again💯!

@Someonemaybe No I don’t know how to find groups please share how to!

@jheredia Not a problem at all. In your therapy page, if you scroll down, you’ll see a “support” box. Click on that and you can search through the different groups available and when they occur. If something seems interesting and you want to know more about it, click on it and a more in depth description will render. I hope that helps.

@Gmoki Hey there, thank you so much for your post🙂. Wow, that’s crazy, aside from wearing a bikini lol, i can relate to almost everything you just said. I didn’t pass high school by much nor when i got my associates degree. I knew i needed to go back to school but was so afraid to barely make it again, if at all. I knew something was different about how my brain worked. I finally went to a doctor to rule out adhd. Turns out, he couldn’t rule it out, i do have it. Made so much sense and I’m so glad i went. When i finished my bachelors degree, i was one bad class from making highest honors. I retook the class because i knew i could do better, and I did. Unfortunately that’s also how i lost highest honors. But that’s ok because i did extremely well and was satisfied with that. First time ever lol. I can relate to not being in the greatest of shape thing too. I have had a membership for about two years and have gone maybe four times lol. I really need to cancel it and use the money for some free weights at home. That’s really where i feel more comfortable. The what ifs, they will eat you alive, no doubt. Just go into it saying screw that, I’m going to do my best no matter what the outcome. Perfectionism is indeed a pain. It has effected me in ways i never realized until i got into therapy. Having ocd is all new to me as far as my knowledge of having it. But man did that answer a lot of questions i had about decisions i made. Now that in aware of it I’m a lot more conscious of my decisions. I don’t get it right as much as I’d like, but I’m certainly moving in the right direction and I’m grateful for that. I was so course to self isolating about a year ago. I was so done with messing up and causing problems for people when i never intended to. Instead i decided hell no, I’m going to figure out what is going on with me and go from there. So glad i did that. Life isn’t any easier, but at least I’m not making things harder anymore or blaming myself for every little thing, even things that aren’t wrong. I haven’t spiralled for some time now and i couldn’t be more grateful. Before therapy, i would spiral deep in depression and stay there for days or weeks, only to surface briefly and do it again. It was so f-ing horrible. Being here has helped tremendously. I’m so glad you’re here as well, it’s a great place to be to get support, understanding, comraderie, and just good stuff in general. I’m so glad i made this post and have gotten some really great responses from people. People who would otherwise not say anything on here about how they were doing, decided to use this post to do just that. How awesome!! Thank you again and i hope you’ve had a wonderful day🙂💯! Thank for for making mine even better, truly!
