i’m hoping this 4th of july family trip will take the weight of my current mental battles away.
@KimPossiblee That sounds like a good time! I hope you enjoy spending quality time with your family!
Looking forward to a brighter week. 🥰
@Anonymous Yes, indeed!
I have 2 things I'm looking forward to! I'm hoping to go to the library tomorrow to return a book and I'm super excited to go to work! I'm working at this wonderful non profit wellness program in my town. I don't get paid a whole lot, but it's something that truly brings me joy and it's really been helping me keep myself grounded. I don't have to do much either! I started almost a month ago now and so far I've been helping with event planning and helping the owner clean up the studio. It's so much fun.
@Andrew Escobar What book did you read? And that’s wonderful! I’m so happy to hear you’re working at a place that brings you joy. That’s all anyone wants in a career. 😊
@OCD_1day@aTime ✨ I've been getting into spiritual witchcraft so I got this book called "new choices in natural healing" (I'm just using it for extra help, don't worry 😭) but it turns out my grandma on my mom's side already had the book! I was so excited to find that out but also a bit dumbfounded considering that I've seen the book? Either way it's really nice to have a book that I'm into enough to annotate. I've been wanting to do that for years but I haven't found a whole lot of books that I REALLY like
Hello!!! Thanks for the check in. It brightens my day to read your post. Hmmmmmm.... we see watching a moving tonight. I'm looking forward to that. A challenge..... every day there is something. I've been ruminating too much lately. I go into fear mode too easily.
@Tea and Honey What movie are you watching? And I know what you mean…. It’s hard for me not to provide myself with reassurance.
@OCD_1day@aTime ✨ The Punisher :):)
@Tea and Honey Will be fun:):)
Feeling all of the things today. Challenge: Dreadful conversation with mom about moving out of my own apartment in 12 days b/c I can’t be around her and my ex partner any longer because they’re negatively affecting my mental health. Plot twist! (Mom relocated nearly a month ago b/c she needed help and I welcomed her into my home while still being on LTD because of the impact her personal circumstances have had on my life when she’s the one person who doesn’t see me or understand me for who I am. Let’s just say that mental health is a taboo in my family. But! I am looking forward to living alone again and being in the space to take care of me instead of other people who don’t seem to see the value in me. I’m pushing forward despite how incredibly difficult this journey has been.
@POC_with_OCD_0813 I’m proud of you for advocating for yourself and taking yourself out of situations that negatively impact your mental health. I hope you enjoy living alone and having your own space! That’s exciting!
I think that’s awesome! I’m currently reading Iron Flame and I love it!
Ooo I think I heard of that, do you have any book recommendations?
@Andrew Escobar Anything by Sarah J Maas or Rebecca Yarros I highly recommend 😊
I’m looking forward to a short work week! Upcoming 3 day weekend will give me plenty of time to rest.
@MichelleV Yes! We love short work weeks!
What’s on your minds?
What did you do today to work on managing your OCD? All wins/accomplishments are welcome to be posted! :-)
Earlier today I did some pretty high-level contamination exposure, inspired by my therapist, and now I'm listening to a triggering song on repeat — the very song that kicked off my first serious bout of OCD in high school. There is a part of my brain that is telling me I can't handle the song and that I should find a compulsion to do, but my goal is to have it in the background while I go about my self-care tasks. I'm already starting to get used to it 💪 How are y'all challenging your OCD today?
