I honestly did a random web search, in desperation, looking for others who are facing some or all the same battles that I am ... and here I am. I greatly respect everyone who has taken the initiative to speak up here - whether or not those in your actual lives have reminded you of your validity and worthiness.
I'm here, and you're all here. And that's enough. I hope to meet/gain support/lend support to anyone here who finds themselves in pain, and I think that's probably plenty of us. I know it includes me.
Happy new year,
-B-

Hi Naturelover ... you're so right. I didn't know if this would be a helpful thing for me, but I couldn't be happier to be part of this awesome network, now. Have a great day!
hello. Welcome. I think you will find that there are many people on here who have had very similar experience and it is always a sense of relief to know you have others out there who do understand and can validate how you’re feeling.
Thanks for the welcome and kindness; I agree completely. My first week or so on here has been completely worthwhile. I do feel like I can talk about whatever I need to on here and that there will be people who've been there or know someone who has.
I don't know if you're a football fan or not, but please root for my Commanders to beat Dallas today, lol. Have an awesome day.
Thank you Beaujie and you are very welcome ! that’s very kind and you are right this is a great place to find support and to support others , this group really helps to keep me going on a very regular basis . I’d be lost without this great group of people who are good , kind and caring people who like me suffer with OCD. It’s my cross to bare in life and I have accepted that and am trying to live as best I can with it , I wish you the very best for this new year ahead 🙏
I don't know many people on here yet, but I know we are all struggling with something, and that we all took the initiative to be here and to find and give support when we can. I appreciate you very much for being one of those people. I hope we end up helping each other out through this process, over time. OCD is different for everyone, or so I'm told. For me it pops up in my daily routines about how things are organized in a room, how many times I need to do something, or having to check a certain number of times that I've done something or completed an action that ,in my brain, I know I've done already. Then there are intrusive thoughts that take the form of OCD for me. If you feel like sharing about your battles, I'm more than happy to listen and maybe we can figure some things out together.
Thanks beaujie, I have and have had the whole realm of OCD symptoms and ruminations and intrusive thoughts , it’s tiring at times , very frightening, upsetting , feeling like your a scam artist , a fraud , a horrible person , I have found that faith has helped me move forward a lot really in the last year actually ! I have OCD since I was 12 and I’m 50 this month so I have it a while 😊 anyway I’m hoping we can continue to live together as it ain’t going anywhere and I have to live so best get used to living with it and try my best and put my trust and faith in the man above and hope as that’s all I have ! 🙏
Yes, yes, and more yes. The negative intrusive thinking is brutal. I can relate there for sure.
Happy early birthday!! That's super exciting and I wish you a WEEK (a day of celebration is way too short, right?!) of self-pampering and smiles!
I somehow went in reverse on faith, haha. But it doesn't matter what it is that brings us through each day and ready to tackle the next, as long as we get there I'm so happy for you in your journey thus far, and I know it's only going to get better and better.
Ah thank you for the birthday wishes ! Agree its whatever works for each individual as we are individuals and thats what makes us unique . The fact that we are on this platform shows that we are all concerned , caring , kind people who are frightened by our thoughts , ruminations, obsessions and compulsions . If we didn't care about what we think or what we did or didn't do, then we wouldn't be here looking for understanding , solace and telling others about how sad , horrified, frightened, guilty we feel. We have a sensitive conscience, we do care , we are good people and want to be the best version of ourselves hence why we care so much , that's my belief anyway , works for me along with the man above who never judges and is with me on a daily basis🙂
Try be gentle with yourself and learn to get to know your real self and learn to trust and be nice to your self and see how that can change things re OCD .
I want you to know how much I appreciated reading your response. Thank you so much. I couldn't agree more with everything you've mentioned above. I need to be kinder to myself, I know that's true, and multiple people here have mentioned it to me. Funny how we see trends in people's takes on what information we put out into the world.
Hoping your day is filled with laughter and smiles
