Main one would be to overcome OCD, because she has been a major roadblock for me. Besides that, I had some ideas here and there but nothing really concrete since I’m not too sure haha. I finished my masters in I/O psychology so I think a career in HR or training and development could be cool. I’d also really like to become an advocate for causes, I’m very passionate about safety and rights for women, have been for years. To be an advocate for mental health specifically OCD would be awesome to inform others that it’ll be okay and to seek professional help to overcome! I’d also like to eventually start dating someone seriously, get married, have a family etc. it’s hard to think about sometimes because my OCD likes to grab into those ideas and mess with them, but once I get a much better handle on my OCD, I’m reaching for the stars ✨

I want to be a storyboard artist! I love learning about visual storytelling and the language films use to give us information. I also want to overcome my anxiety and ocd because it really impedes my creativity, I’m too worried what people think

Getting my music widely known, at least enough to make a good amount of positive difference in people’s life. I make music specifically about helping people with anxiety and OCD. I’d also love a family some day

Motivation
What is motivating you to keep pushing in treatment or to take the first step to start ERP treatment? For my OCD treatment, I wanted to feel more present in what I was doing and I wanted to live a life that aligned to what was important to me. I love to golf, fish, be out nature, walk my dogs, read, listen to music, and eat some good food! When I was in ERP treatment, I made sure to align my treatment to my values! I would construct exposures that were valued based which really motivated me to keep go towards my goals! What is your motivation?

Doubts 21+
My biggest issue with things in my life are not feeling confident in things I want to do and feeling doubtful combined with anxiety. It makes me not want to do a whole lot of things outside of my comfort zone because I either feel I'm not ready for them or I don't deserve them. In the back of my mind, my brain tells me that I've done something in relation to POCD because of porn when I was a teenager and a time I tried to help a minor with OCD. Or that I've committed sexual harassment because of a time I tried to zip up a bag but didn't tuck my arm and it touched someone's behind when really I just didn't want to keep listening to my OCD about how much of a bad person I would be or bad things would happen if I didn't tuck my arm. I thought I would just very slightly brush up contact and it wouldn't matter that much but it just ended up happening in the worst way. I remember how extremely depressed this made me and I just feel like I don't deserve to go on because of these kind of thoughts, memories, and worries. These worries are what keeps me down from really living my life. Another part of this is I feel I need to just have my needs met before I can really carry on in life I also know that I can't keep waiting for things to feel right when I need to do them. Is this a sign of Just Right OCD? Needing my feelings to feel just right in order for me to do someone I really want to? I act on my feelings more than I do my rational and it definitely shows in my anxiety. This stuff holds my back on my dream goals, trying to get experience with relationships, going to school, and just overall being happier and caring a lot less about anxiety. I don't know how to get rid of them. I just try to let them pass. Sometimes that works, sometimes that doesn't. Being up at night is a trigger for this for sure.
