So I haven't been on here in a while and I hope you are all doing well. I can happily say I haven't felt any overwhelming OCD symptoms in several months. I stopped taking my meds about a month and a half ago because I didn't feel like they were helping at all, and I was tired of being a guinea pig. It seemed like I tried every combo in the world and nothing was working. I had read a few places online about mushrooms curing OCD symptoms for several months at a time so I figured, what the hell. I couldn't tell you if they actually worked or if it's purely coincidental that I'm doing so much better now. I still have the body issues like I did before… But I think if I lost 15 lbs I'd be a lot happier. I am not afraid of the gym but have had another freak health problem for about two and a half months now which causes this stupid migratory joint pain and it often prevents me from working out. I'm hoping the doctor figures that out soon!! Should hear something by the end of the week. I have been in a relationship for the past 8 months now which i don't know, could also be contributing to my feeling better. It is such a relief not to be obsessing so much anymore. Don't get me wrong, I still have my days… But at this point it isn't anywhere NEAR as bad as I was a year ago. So my advice is just take it one day at a time. Life isn't perfect. But there can certainly be light at the end of the tunnel. Don't give up. I sure know I wanted to at times. For me the worst part is feeling alone. Y'all know… NOBODY gets it!!! But that is what the tribe is for. Thanks to all of you for being a friend and sharing your positivity. Xoxox
