I've actually been feeling quite better the last week or so. My OCD has been next to none, and when I start freaking out about thinking I may have a disease, I just tell myself " well..who cares, so what if you do; if you do, then you'll take care of it" and just move on….it's really crazy how my OCD comes in seasons.

 

 I've really noticed that my OCD is worse when I have too much time on my hands. When I stay busy, I don't have time to worry about stupid little things; therefore, My OCD isn't present. When I'm home alone all day, and not working, that's when my mind starts turning and I almost try to find something to worry about.

 

Overall for the past week, i've been doing really well. lets hope it stays that way. It's been so good to not have that worry feelin in the pit of my stomache, and actually feel at peace with things.

 

I've really come to realize, that the things I worry about are so small. I mean, i worry about having cancer, or STD's,  ( which totally freak me out! and i'm scared to death of them) just stupid little things that consume my thoughts. I realize that even if I did somehow get some crazy disease, it wouldn't make me any less of a person, and it wouldn't change who I am. People would still love me for me. It's really about making a difference in this world, and being the best person you can be. Worry doesn't change anything. I remember I used to worry all the time about my mom dieing, it was my biggest fear; and I thought if she died I wouldn't be able to go on living. Well, my mom died 2 years ago, and I'm still here today. I'm dealing with it, and going on with my life. There really isn't anything in this life that is too big to handle, especially with God on you're side…you can get through anything. Nothing is too big for him.

    It is really nice to read such a positive blog … you sound really strong and seem in a rational state of mind, which is what is so vital in leading a life that is rational, rather than being in a completely irrational state of mind, where your mind goes on this great big venture into confusion and self manipulation – which to me is what I think of as OCD = self manipulation in order for it to have open access into your fears!

    Keep this thinking up, and in time your OCD will slowly slowly lesson – and YES keeping busy is a key element into hearing your own thoughts and not OCD's 🙂 keep up the good work

    You have learned much wisdom from your illness. Now I wish you the ability to stop and think the next time this stuff hits you.  You surely have the tools.  Now, to remember that you have the tools when this stuff rears its ugly head again!!!!\"\"
