DAILY JOURNALS
Every night before I go to bed I write a journal specifically focused on OCD. I have found this very helpful to keep me motivated and get better mentally.
What my journal looks like:
3 things that went well:
- “I was present when I hanged out with friends”.
- “I did exposure therapy even though I didn't feel like it today”.
- “Focused well in work.”
What have I learned about the OCD today?
- Uncertainty is great!
- It's better to focus on what you want to do, rather than being stuck in your head.
OCD evaluation from 1-10:
- How much time did I spend ruminating/doing compulsions today? 3
- How much discomfort/anxiety did I feel today? 5
A goal for tomorrow:
- Be a little more self-compassionate.
