A mid‑year mental health check‑in

We're officially halfway through the year, which can be a meaningful time to slow down and ask yourself: “How am I really doing?” Here are a few questions you can ask yourself as you reflect: • How am I feeling emotionally? • What thoughts have been occupying my mind? • Have I noticed any changes in my sleep patterns, appetite, or energy levels? • How am I coping with stress? • Have I been socializing, or am I withdrawing from others? Pausing to tune into our mental health can help us notice the impacts of OCD that we might overlook when we’re just trying to get through the day. If OCD has been taking up your time and energy, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to push through it, wait for a calmer season, or hope things improve on their own. A specialized therapist can help you better understand OCD is showing up in your life, learn new ways to respond to intrusive thoughts, and take back time from compulsions—creating more space for the parts of life that matter to you. Our team can help you find the right therapist for you, schedule sessions that fit into your life, and support you through every step of your journey. Every day is a new chance to make the rest of the year feel different. How are you feeling at this point in the year? Let us know in the comments 💙

I've been working with a therapist on Teladoc for a year now. She's been helping me with my anger. Now that my time with her has ended, I think it's a sign to move onto working on my OCD. I never thought I would need a therapist specifically for OCD but I think it's getting worse. I just need some guidance as to what to do next, because I'm on medication and that scares me a little. I've been through 9 therapists now, in my 10 years of therapy. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing, or even normal. I just want to feel better.

Ocd therapy has to be with ocd specialist doing erp or it's not effective. So it's different than what you need for anger

Good. Trying not to be hyperaware of my eye contact, facial expressions, and paranoia about others’ judgments. Still in the same boat but I feel like I can come out of it this year

I'm ok so far, quit drinking in May so I've been doing my spiritual studies, mental health and sobriety recovery and zoom meetings. I keep busy and sometimes my ocd helps me with the things I go through. Plus, work and my son's school. But, Summer Time, it's work.

I’m doing ok, working towards quitting some compulsions. I’m working towards keeping myself busy and doing more things that are nice towards myself rather than bad

Realistically I am okay. I have been learning to manage my ocd there are hard days and there are days where I feel like I’m kicking ocds ass. But no matter what I always stick to my values and my love for talking to people even on the days I don’t feel like I want to. But I understand the illness and I’m taking back control
