Today was a 'good day'... :)

No, i've not miraculously been cured...but i did manage a fairly 'good day'. I was off work today, because my son was sick etc. So i kept him home with me opposed to going with Grandad now its the summer holidays. Yes, my ocd was present, but i don't feel it squeezed me tightly, until the life started to drain from my body. I laughed, smiled. We're working our way through the harry potter films at the moment. Sat and cuddled my son, tickled him, looked at his creative artwork, watched him having fun helping me prepare a dessert. Lots, and more. I even managed to start a hood chunk of my hoarding mountain in the living room of paperwork, lists etc. I tried to be more realistic and chuck stuff in the bin too. Maybe there is hope for me/us yet...

if you feel like you have hit rock bottom like me lately. I guess the only way is UP. Dont give up...no matter how dark it may seem. The light may just creep in to guide you from the most unexpected place. X

So lovely to read this post and you will see here you become distracted by little things but things which were relaxing so you lost the Hypervigilance we usually have when we are on full alert.. it shows here it is just a matter of trying to find time to focus on small little things which help us lose some of the stress we are carrying around with us.. I find this in crochet and knitting for my grandchildren.. good luck to you and I hope you have many more times this happens to you as these moments are there just waiting to be noticed XX
