Hi Friends! As we all get closer to the New Year, I would love to hear your goals for 2021 with regard to your OCD. My goal is to continue catching and labeling my OCD thoughts as to prevent acting upon them with compulsions.

Due to personality, depression, OCD, and other circumstances I have never even been on a date. I'm just about 36. My goal is to give it a shot.

This is an awesome thread! My goals are: To reread the notes I take in therapy at least once or twice every fortnight, to refresh my memory. To try listening to my intuition to work things out, not the OCD. To learn to FEEL my feelings, instead or suppress or get rid of them with compulsions. ☺️🎁

My goal is to attend my OCD treatment, to be able to go 1 month without arguing with my boyfriend based off of ROCD-stuff, and be able to have evenings where Im alone but wel because I manage my obsessions and dont engage in compulsions!

Embrace anxiety and have a mental state of mind that says I'm already recovered my body is just acting up.

Gonna go a little outside the parameters here, but I’d say in advocacy my goal is to get know more advocates. Or, assuming we’re able to meet in person or have events this year, I’d like to attend a conference of some sort. Other than that, I want to keep my meditation practice up next year and do it for at least 60%-70% of the the days available in the year. I’d love 100%, but I know there’s a chance I won’t pull that off, haha.

after hocd popped into my little head, my world kind of crashed so i hope that 2021 will treat me with kindness and just love really<3 one of my many goals is to recover from my ed that i developed, along with maybe (just maybe) get a bf haha:) my ocd goals is to just give a dgaf attitude to the thoughts so i can go to university without any worries at all!!

My goal is to not be held back by my ocd and be able to live my life again :)

My goal is to be more mindful about thinking before acting. I'd be much better about resisting compulsions if I took a moment to sit with the thought before jumping into ways to get rid of it.

One day....one whole day my goal is to be really really really really happy and the crazy thoughts are chasing up me, and that’s when they get to me when I go to sleep. One day one whole day I just wanna be happy

I love this! These are all amazing goals!! We can do this 💪 Keep those goals coming!! Excited to read them all 💕

My goals are to: work through my compulsions to avoid cleaning and tidying my space so that I can feel about about my home (first time living alone,) to feel safe on my relationships, and if I do decide to exit- knowing it’s due to my own accord and not lying ocd thoughts, to feel empowered in making big life decisions without immense fear and overwhelm, and to start making money in my entrepreneurial venture free of compulsions that sabotage $ making opportunities!

My goal is to: regain touch with my sense of self, learn how to be more mindful and have more alone time and learn how to be comfortable being on my own, learn to recognize symptoms of OCD and when it will strike, avoid self-destructive behaviors and overall achieve self love and understand that I deserve the life I want 😊

my goal is to start therapy/go to doctors for it and get an official diagnosis and really get on track to overcoming it.

My goal is to start and complete my ERP treatment, follow through on my referral to a psychiatrist, and get my life back. I also want to start getting more engaged in the community and be more open. I don’t want to feel alone anymore.

this is a really good goal - I’ll said the same thing today to myself, after I felt like I’m starting compulsions again in my head. I’ll try to do the same as you.

My goal is to prevent acting upon my compulsions as much as I can, because I feel like the compulsions are what are really holding me back from my goals and values. The obsessions are distressing, but I will remind myself that I can handle the discomfort and tolerate uncertainty and the possibility of my fears coming true.

Continue the adventure I've been on this year and try to resolve the issues that sent me on it in the first place, hopefully without a pandemic.
