Monday is here, and we want to know about whatever is helping you put one foot in front of the other this week. Drop your motivation in the comments below!
The fact that I found this app, and this community and I’m learning a lot about this thing I have had for so long and how to manage it
@manny That’s really awesome. I couldn’t agree more💯!
I am in control of my life, not OCD
Prayer. 3 cats & 1 dog.
Having to maintain the cleanliness for myself and other motivation to push myself out of bed is for my children.
Hope is a motivation. My therapist said that OCD can be managed and helped and I'm starting to believe her. I had lost hope for years dealing with this over the years, and for the first time in a while I'm hopeful that I'll get better.
@JustRell215 Yessss!!!!! When things fall apart, and hope is the only thing left to hold onto, it’s amazing how powerful it is.
My best friend
Starting rehearsals for a new show tomorrow :)
My rigorous, extensive, and thrilling coursework for my AP Chemistry course!🌟🌟
@Colby K Period!
Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this community
I just push myself to do things. Landscaping, trimming weeds, volunteering at church,etc
My monday motivation is I saw my therapist today and we went over a gameplan and things to do when ocd comes around
Knowledge is motivating me, even though I'm pretty tired. Stay awesome everyone 😎
I don't have motivation for much, can someone suggest anything? I've been glued to my phone all day :(
@Vexie Definitely, put out down and go for a walk if you’re able. If not, maybe just pick some random part of your house and organize it. I hope that helps. I totally understand where you’re at.
@SomeoneToMe I ended up cuddling on my bed, crocheting til I fell asleep (I only got 4 hours last night) and just woke up from a nap. Thank you so much!!!
@Vexie Yes! That’s awesome! What did you crochet? I get about 3-4 each night, sure wish that were different lol. Last night was perfect weather for cuddling up for sure. I love fall and that’s one of the reasons. Can finally go outside without melting lol. Have such an awesome day and thank you for sharing😁🤘.
@SomeoneToMe It's so crazy because even tho I have ADHD, I think I have a sleep disorder because I usually get 8-12 hours of sleep and am still tired. I'm currently crocheting a cardigan and a blanket 😊 I agree about fall, it's my favorite season! Thank you so much for the conversation, have a wonderful day!!! 💞 Feel free to add, I'm new to this app so dunno what's appropriate or not yet 🙌🏽
@Vexie I have to be honest, i had to look up what a cardigan is, don’t judge 🤣. That’s really awesome you can do that. With winter coming, the cardigan and blanket will be perfect indeed! I have adhd as well. No matter how much sleep i get, i don’t think I’ll ever be a morning person🤣😁. What’s appropriate seems to be as long as there’s relevance to the topic. There’s a lot discussed here because people deal with different things. However, one thing we share is our struggle with ocd and the support here is amazing. I’ve been on here for about 6 months i believe. It’s been wonderful and truly beneficial. Healing is hard to do, but knowing you’re not alone in nearly every facet of your journey is priceless. Definitely fall and winter are my favorite. That cool crisp air just invigorates everything inside!! And when the fireplace is burning bright, oh man, speechless for sure🤘💯!
I took steps to find a therapist for my 6 year old son to start seeing for his OCD habits he is exhibiting. Maybe through his treatment I can find courage to seek out my own.
God, my family, and this app
Hope, that I dont feel yet but that I have because I have started this journey .... that I have because of a cousin who has had success with this process who suggested NOCD for me.... hope that I can get better and be the dad and husband that my wife and our babies deserve. I am putting one foot in front of the other right now because I deserve the life I am fighting for and my wife and kids deserve the dad and husband I am fighting to be! Its hard right now to feel okay .... but I can take the next step .... and then the next .... and one day I will feel better.
@Dave31 Oh man, it’s like I’m reading my own story over again!! Yes you can, you can absolutely be who you want so badly to be. Take that step, for yourself first, and for those you love. You can meet with a therapist for free for the first session to get an idea of it is a good fit for you. Go for it💯🤘!! Awesome share!
One of them is to get a scholarship for the college I’m going to by getting my GPA up. I’m doing all of my work to the best of my ability, but I’m also motivated by being able to see and be with my friends after fall break
Foundation work is supposed to start for our home addition this week!!
Routine and taking time out from that routine.
One thing that helps me is trying to be in a good environment and matching the good energy around you. Doing this has helped me be happier and not do the things that give me anxiety or stress.
Finding community among my peers
Urgency and fear may feel huge but that doesn’t mean they’re true and have to control your life.
Seeing my peers in group and watching my symptoms go down. The work feels like it's working. And if it's working then I gotta keep going
Only four more days till Friday 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Sorry, that’s the first thing that came to mind. So obviously I’m not a big fan of Monday, but like every day, it’s another day I’ve been given to do the right thing and be someone i can be proud of, who i am proud of. For that, I’m forever thankful 🥹.
This app is really motivating me quite a bit and so is my partner to help navigate ROCD
My Monday motivation is to encourage people stay connected to Christ. While I understand this is not a religious platform. Focusing on God and not ourselves allows him to transform us through the power of the HOLY spirit. Won't you accept him today?
