I'm not saying it's easy, because it's not, and it's a journey to reach the point of having any kind of norm. I just want to share how I've been doing.

I came on here because my pure O has spiked this year due to life stress and changes, and on reflection I think I've been battling depression too. It's been trying to get me hooked on ANYTHING, and I've been battling it also, you guys know the score, I have a real life health things that seem to be piling up, and a few weeks back I hit rock bottom, and I pulled myself out of it by going no, I can't go back to square one, I'm living in the now, and it's helping me soooo much, I've achieved so many things, and I'm not doing my compulsions!!! things I truly believed that were keeping me safe, which is a massive contradiction, because I was in a hell!!!

When I'm tired I'm tired

When I want to cry I cry

When I want to watch the TV I watch the TV

When I want to eat I'll eat

If I get sick I'm sick

When I have intrusive thoughts I have thoughts, there's no magical power behind them, it's like a tear drop in the rain.

I embrace life, I share it with a demon called ocd, but when I live and be in the now, there's only room for me and MY Thoughts.

I'm healthy scare what my results will be over the next two days, but them two days are mine.

Living in the now is really working for me.

I wish you all the strength in the world to keep fighting.

Thank you for sharing and well done on your progress. I've been trying to remind myself to live in the now too.

Sending love and strength to everyone.

Beautifully explained, thank you for sharing. Living the now, those brief moment where you're into what you're doing and OCD has not space in your mind makes life worth living. Still fighting. Love you all 💪

Thanks, I'd been reading up on mindfulness, and mindfulness for ocd sufferers, and with your post on how it was working for you, renforced it for me. This forum is my ocd family!! I would be lost without you all. Xx
