You made it through the holiday week! Time to share your wins

Talked to my mom and sister about OCD and my sister wants to sign up, potentially recognizing her own symptoms. I want her to be on this journey with me because she tends to isolate herself, so I’m hopeful. I want her to not suffer so much anymore. Also, I masked less and hosted an entire day without feeling overwhelmed with doomsday thoughts.

Im still here standing still willing to fight

I struggle with eating due fear of choking . Often times, it gets so bad I sit and cry over my plate. This week, I was able to make it through small meals and it felt good.

It and still had joy even though OCD said i wouldn’t

I survive thanksgiving Lunch and made it through the first quarter of school without giving into most of my compulsions.

Managed to travel out of state and kept panic attacks and anxiety at bay! And managed to still sleep pretty well which is normally hard for me when I go out of town.

I made it through my first Thanksgiving divorced without my children. I started accepting idk statements and moving on.

Getting through the holidays and ignoring triggers and compulsions

Getting through the different schedule and lots more down time better than I thought I would. It’s not perfect but it’s progress.

I sat at the table with everybody which has been really hard for me since 2020 but yesterday I did it!!!

Recognizing that I don’t have to own/feel bad for someone else’s dysfunctional behavior!

Undoubtedly one of the toughest weeks with room for improvement, but a lot of learning and experience in return. You begin to realize that while OCD can attack just about anything, it's not so much the content of the thoughts or alignment towards them and more the underlying mechanisms behind them. Feeling accomplished

Got out the house. Visited the in laws. For the 1st time felt somewhat normal. No voices were in my head this time. Telling you, you shouldn’t be here and leave now b4 something happens. It could have been the meds I took b4 I went that calm my nerves. Nevertheless a win is a win no matter how pretty or ugly. 🤪

I survived the day repetive thoughts distressing all day repetive words yikes

I’m in love, and I’ve been doing a good job sitting with my relationship anxiety instead of asking him or others for reassurance. I actually feel so comfortable around him, my OCD hasn’t been too bad anyway. Woooooohoooo! 💗🥰

I told myself that even if I have intrusive thoughts, I can still enjoy spending time with my family.

Going back to therapy.

Yay good job that's great!

That's great.i made it through thanksgiving relaxing and learning to leave everything alone. My OCD was awful.happy holidays everyone. I had OCD and compulsive disorder from letting people take advantage of me ever since my coma and stroke with certain things that almost ruined my marriage. We all struggle with something in our lives.i have recently told my parents and husband what happened to me as a child teenager and adult and it took me forever to realize it wasn't my fault.

I ate food that I was scared to eat.

The win is reading this . I saw Christmas lights today and that triggered me . This post us a reminder that triggers are common siting holiday season

I struggle to eat because of my contamination issues but I went to a friend's house and ate their homemade thanksgiving food and that was a huge win. Yay me!
