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

Well done it is good that you have identified a good day and even though you made aware that the OCD was in the back ground.

The recovery is to start with baby steps and draw positives and try and use them as reference points when the low hits.

You will defeat this awful disorder.
