One think OCD has not taken from me is occasional moments of joy. No matter how bad it got, there was always a time where I could laugh or smile.

i relate! ocd is super hard to deal with. but there’s still those moments of pure joy and happiness that push you through 

Like having a nice cup of ☕ I learn to find joy in simple things.☺

I still have moments too sometimes. The day I left the hospital with my son I was actually so filled with joy that I got to take him home I started crying and that day was a good day. 

The one thing I’ve always been lucky with is that for whatever reason, even when things are really bad, my OCD seems to shut off at night before bed for just a little while. I have no idea why this is the case but I am not complaining!
