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

Our conditions make us lax with our daily life tasks and when we get the chance to be diverted to something more pleasant it is a welcome interlude.
This morning I am sitting around in my chair next to the patio window watching the clouds over our nearby hills. The problem I have is that as I sit around I start and notice jobs that are required to be undertaken. That makes me depressed as I just do not have strength or push to do anything. All this is caused by my immune system and the Chronic pain that I suffer from. My brain has to much on its plate caused by my body and brain problems, not helped by my depression. So I personally am overcritical on what I cannot do and jobs I can undertake. What with all above I am also able to work for only half an hour then have to stop for a further extended period. All just makes me feel lazy, even when I understand why I am the way my condition takes me
You sit there Bob, let yourself be. There are always jobs, and more jobs, and even when we feel we want to do something but can't find anything to do it's only because we are avoiding seeing what could need doing
Watching clouds sounds like a good way of spending some time (not that I do that often...) so why not enjoy it.
I've been taking a B12 Methylcobalin supplement and find I have a lot more energy, maybe worth a go?
That sounds like a lovely day - for you and for your son! Well done, it's great to have good days and easy to forget them once bad days hit. Keeping a diary can help. x
