Today I turned 20 and had a great day and night with my friends and family. My mom was very kind, yet when I get home from hanging with my boyfriend, she’s drunk. Intrusions come about blaming myself, I know it’s not fault, but I feel the urge to fix very broke people. I did it with many friends and my mom, but those are just compulsions. Besides that though, my birthday was one of the best and I’m so grateful to live in an amazing state

I don't know your mum's situation but this is a good quote. I am not religious but it helps me with OCD it's from AA really. 'God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference' OCD led me down the AA path for a while as I couldn't stand it. Needed something just to make it disappear. It only made it worse! Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday!! ?? and yeah I get the feeling the urge to fix people. It just means we have a good heart and want everyone to be happy! The problem is we tend to make everyone else’s problems our own problems which is very exaausting. What needs to be realized is we can only do so much for a person and in the end it’s ultimately up to them to help themselves. Sometimes all you can do is just be nice to someone and that encourages them

I am trying my best

This is so hard. I know recovery is a roller coaster but I am tired of going in circles, you know? I think am getting better but then I over think that and it makes me feel bad and I sure. Today was a tough day. Tomorrow is my birthday, I hope tomorrow is better then today. All the best ❤️

Many thoughts

Hello everyone it’s my birthday and I can’t stop ruminating, haha, I’m not sure why I feel sad if everything is going I guess pretty well. I keep ruminating and overthinking about this one person and stuff, we cleared things about how we feel and it made me and them feel happy but my brain keeps telling me I’m not good enough for them and that things won’t go well or something, I really hate having these thoughts because I know I should be alright but it’s all making me sad.
