Hey yallll happy Saturday night! Here's a pic of a random tree carving I saw on my road trip today 🤣 I hope everyone is doing alright tonight. Keep in mind that you're doing the best you can in this present moment. You do not need to compare your progress to anyone else's. Be happy for others, your time will come and you deserve it! 😊💗

I have never seen such an odd forest of tree carvings 😂

@alexisrae1999 What do you think he is saying though? 🤔 😆 I bet he's saying "Whoa! This girl has some serious positive vibes and energy!" Lol. Seiously though, it's always so awesome to get on this app every day and see your amazing positive and encouraging posts! You're so motivational! 😀 Hope you're doing well tonight too Alexis! I'm going to go out today and be happy for others and continue to be patient with myself and my progress! :)

@Drew777 Probably "not another random taking a picture of me" 😂 I'd appreciate it if he said that ahaha You're so sweet drew! That means a lot :) just trying to give back and encourage everyone. I know how hard it is to be at rock bottom 🥲 Keep being amazing drew!:) I'm doing well today

@alexisrae1999 Lol, I'm sure he was delighted to meet you Alexis. 😊 Yeah, I know how hard it is to be at rock bottom too... thankfully I'm not in that place anymore. I'm not in the "best place" I can be by any means either though, but I'm definitely doing better now than when all of this OCD first started. I'll try to keep being "amazing", lol, if I can call it that. And you do the same Alexis, but don't overburden yourself either. Remember to take time for yourself each day. :)

@Drew777 Hope so, I saw a lot of carvings the other day!:) Anyone can be at rock bottom, those who look like they have it all together are probably going through some intense stuff too :). We all have something, and that's perfectly okay! I'm happy that you're doing better, I think recognition of having ocd propels you into more of a sense of "I guess I'm not crazy after all" 🤣 I think you're doing great for yourself and everyone here :). No pressure to be the best! I'm doing my best to take time for myself, I definitely need it after suffering from these thoughts all the time 😫

@alexisrae1999 Yeah, that's a good point, all of us have to put on a brave face every now and then, and we forget that others are doing that as well so we don't always notice or realize when other people around us are struggling too. But it is a little bit reassuring to know that everyone has something that they're dealing with, whether it be OCD or something else entirely. Of course with that being said I don't want anyone else to be suffering from anything bad in their lives by any means, but at least we all know that we're human and facing life's challenges together. So we can all relate to each other in some area of life or another. And you're right, it's perfectly okay that we all have something we're dealing with, that's just part of life, all we can do is our best with how we handle dealing with the different things in life that we face. Yeah, lol, I still feel like I'm crazy sometimes though, but other times I can see how I'm not crazy, lol. And I know I don't have to be the best, I just want to put forth my best effort in life, whatever my best may be for each day. :) I hope you'll continue to find time for yourself each day and that your OCD thoughts will subside so that you can have peace. I hope you have a good night Alexis. :)

@Drew777 Very true, its easy to dismiss people who seem like they have it all together. Yes we're all human and every emotion we have to go through is valid. :) Ocd makes ya feel crazy all the time tbh so i think it's normal. Its easy to feel that way when you're panicking but when you've calmed down you can tell the difference haha 😊 Yup no need to be the best, just be the best version of yourself :) thank you drew I hope you're having a great night! ❤
