Community discussion: Summer plans check-in

I feel like the theme I am stuck on is becoming less stuck each day- I am looking forward to starting my second year of university feeling more freed from OCD and from this theme. Staying positive is key ☀️🫶

Gettin closer to Jesus!

Summer road trips and time by the lake! ☀️

I really enjoy spending time in nature and bird watching. Looking forward to doing more of that

Oh easy! I want to spend more time on my photography, listen to more music and of course, build my member caseload.

Playing with my friends and practicing baseball!

Spending time with my friends and practicing self care

fishing and paddle boarding! also a lot of movies coming out I’m excited to see in the theater. :)

Going on a girls trip with my mom and sister to Ireland

Having a baby in August!!!

Fruit season! And maybe getting up the nerve to host a garden party / BBQ? My OCD gets super nervous about anyone visiting our home.

Swimming in the ocean and the river and eating lots of fresh corn and fruit!

Being able to leave the house! This last year we spent a lot of time in the hospital for my daughter who was immunocompromised. Now that her bone marrow transplant has improved her immune system, we don’t have to hide in our home and not see people. Feels like we can start living a more normal life and enjoy summer a bit more, even with frequent doctor appointments.

I’m going to Hawaii as a graduation trip with my parents!!!

sailing and hanging out with my friends

Peace and quiet with myself

I get to spend more time with my husband and daughter

Gardening, cleaning out the garage and BBQing.

I'm taking a Spanish class

A lot! Two weddings, summer vacation, my birthday, and doing all my art

I am excited to travel to Asia! And get a small break from my whirl wind of OCD thoughts!

Feeling better

I got a big camping trip planned, PTO required and everything

I am looking forward to maybe taking some time off work, getting more rest on my weekends and continuing to be in the gym. I am going to a new gym, doing new workouts, feeling sore and feeling good 😬

Summer school, going to the beach and pool and going to Europe

Going to the Beach as much as possible! 😃 something about swimming in the ocean that makes me feel so happy. It’s like the only type of cold plunge I can do 💗

Continuing on my journey to self discovery. As fake as it sounds I've genuinely been investing into myself more and getting to know the person ive been piloting since becoming sentient lol

Church camp andddd having fun with my friends and family! I just anxious sometimes because I wanna feel joyful in the morning and before bed but it’s a little hard sometimes because of my ocd.

Finishing my summer class in 2 days!

Finding time for me and making enjoyable memories with my family unit and senior pet Milo!

I’m looking forward to going to the beach!

Driving to the beach without a single loop! It's going to happen!

Moving in with my boyfriend

Moving through life and not letting OCD effect my plans or make me feel poorly about myself.

Honestly, looking forward to football season, training camp starts in July

I said football season which is true, but I had a really really bad ocd episode two years ago in August, so I end up wishing the summer away to get past that time of the year.

going swimming

In July, I'll be getting a tattoo of my dog :)

Obviously vacation. I love all the family, friends, and fun on vacation

School (College) hopefully I can get into it. Cause I need to be away from home lowkey. Nothing too bad but still.

Planning to focus on my physical health too this summer, now that I’ve spent this year focused on my mental health. Ready to finally drop the weight that’s been yo-yoing for me. It will impact how I feel all around and how I show up for myself.

Getting closer to Jesus plus probably going outside more and becoming more positive and apply for a job after tolerating OCD for a while being able to get out there and get my life back

I’m looking forward to being on the water every day on my sports yacht and raft. Water is very therapeutic for me.

I look forward to my family vacation to San Francisco 🌁

Swimming in the ocean without a care in the world!!!!!

I’m going to Chicago with my family and I am excited to give myself a break from my OCD and relax also won’t have as many things to worry about just living my good summer

Go to the pool and beach

Relax before starting law school . Get sunlight, spend time with loved ones and be on the beach

Despite all my perfectionism and productivity OCD: going on vacation with my partner. ❤️

I look forward to our adaptive water skiing program we do at work in the summer!

Go to the beach stay out of trouble and leave it to god

Visiting my mom in Rhode Island for the 4th of July.

No academic stress.

Sitting with a fan on me and nothing to do

Wakeboarding! 😜

The sun. Gotta soak up that vitamin D

I’m just look forward to getting better🥹💗

Finishing my album, going out to the country with my bf, and honestly, getting my Botox touched up

End of summer beach vacation with my Fiance and family

I’m going on my annual family beach trip in a few weeks but this time I get to bring my boyfriend which is very exciting for me

Enjoy 😉 myself with grandkids and family

To be able to enjoy my summer without health anxiety and the fear of dying. It would change my life

Getting my license

My birthday trip and photo shoot

i absolutely love the beach and i’m super excited to go back this summer!

Enjoying nature. Everything feels so alive during summer months 🌱🐦‍⬛🐦🌳

Anthrocon!

I feel like I’m excited to continue to get back to doing erp and including it into my daily routine. The maintenance part of ocd is so important once you are passed the initial hump. I’ve noticed that when I’m feeling better I have a tendency to want to avoid anything ocd because I fear that it will come back. I’m really working this summer on accepting good and bad days!
