Tomorrow I am giving a farewell talk on my research to my ex-students on Trinidad and Tobago (with attendees from the US [Smithsonian Institution] and France). Though the talk is fully prepared, I am losing sleep over it, it being the first such talk I have given in 5 years. Also, it is my farewell talk

My therapist suggested that I find a suportive outlet between our visits. This site seems like a place to open up a bit more about this journey. The holidays are a challenge for me, and I imagine it is for many of us. Hoping to find some solace and understanding. thanks for being here. Steps..

So anxiety and depression are really bad now. In therapy and being treated with medication. Struggling at job and life right now and seek reassurance from my wife constantly.

I have had OCD for 30 years beginning with OCD tendencies in childhood. I am currently experiencing a flare up of my contamination OCD due to having a bout of C diff last year.

Another issue I find myself constantly fighting is my impulsivity. I’m easily distracted into going into a new task, or starting something else at a “drop of a hat”. Within my business, that costs me time, energy, and worse off- MONEY. So, I’ve had lots of conversations with my therapist about how to

Occupational Therapists play an important role in supporting people living with ataxia! We do occupations from the moment we’re born – they’re essential to living. They give our lives meaning and purpose, they shape who we are, and help us connect with others. This week is Occupational (OT) week!

This is my first post in any type of support group. My therapist recommended I seek support from others for my anxiety. It has recently spiked and most days I can’t focus on work.
