Missing My Community

[MyOCD123]

Hi friends,

I hope everyone is doing extremely well! It feels like it has been awhile since I last checked in and I have missed the sense of community and all of the kind souls who have helped me over the past year. I am continuing to wean off of one of my anxiety medications and the past few days have been a little bit of a struggle. I have had some intrusive thoughts slip back into my mind but I am doing my best to just observe them and let them go. I feel that familiar sense of urgency to figure out what these thoughts mean and to piece together the random images in my mind. Are they real memories, false memories, dreams, or just random fragments my brain has pieced together? It doesn’t matter. I know that there is no need for me to try to figure things out and that these thoughts are just thoughts. They may be scary but that cannot hurt me. Just another reminder that OCD always lies and there is no reason to start believing it now. Anyways, how is everyone else doing? I would love to hear from you or drop something positive/encouraging in the comments!

Best,

Catherine

I am so glad that you are able to deal with the OCD thoughts.

It gives me courage to keep trying to let the thoughts just be there.

Keep it up !!!

I know it is not easy to do.

I struggle on a daily basis.

I wish you good health, peace, happiness in life.

Take Care.
