Living With OCD

a podcast about the struggles of living with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

[Living With OCD @LwOCD]

HOCD played a HUGE roll in my not realizing I was gay. I thought it was just my OCD messing with me again, never realizing until 5 years ago that it wasn't my OCD, it was me and I was actually gay. This was a HARD process...harder than I ever imagined.

Not sure when this happened...but somehow he’s now 2 ½ 😑

[Living With OCD @LwOCD]

There is no excuse from being gone this long but today i found myself on here looking for something completely different and then seeing all the tweets people had sent us. the guilt set in so i am going to try to do a better job of being on here and hopefully helping people again

[Living With OCD @LwOCD]

@Jamie_Norbury that's a tough one. i have found myself having more anxiety/ocd twitches lately for some reason. i hadn't really noticed them in the past but i do now. i still do them but try to make them as quiet as possible. in public i might put my hand over my mouth so no one sees.

@steph_mccabe_ @Wintersonworld i just love this. i never had words to describe this situation that happens to me on a daily basis. it's great when we are able to find words for what we are feeling!

@allyquick1 Thank you for that wonderful compliment. This is honestly the 1st time in a year that i have logged onto Twitter so i apologize for not responding earlier. I am still here, my OCD is still here, but I am still fighting! who knows, maybe one day we will start our podcast up again!

[Living With OCD @LwOCD]

@allyquick1 love that book, glad it has been of help to you!

You are stronger than you know #ocdlife

@Dozydemono Thanks for checking in on us, i think it's been about a year since i've been on twitter! i have become disillusioned w/ social media as a whole lately, that may be caused by hitting my 40's & thinking all these new fangled ideas are a little nuts :)
OCD is still here but so am i!

[Living With OCD @LwOCD]

@Dozydemono Yes, sadly we haven't recorded any more podcasts since our son was born which is 2.5 years ago now :( Kids, Life...i could give you all the excuses in the world i won't. We are still here and I am still working every day to combat my OCD. It's a lifelong process as you well know.

[Living With OCD @LwOCD]

These two. All the feels.

[Spreading The Love @Spreading_L0ve]

Someone’s family member suffers from depression.

Someone’s best friend suffers from an eating disorder.

Someone’s classmate suffers from suicidal thoughts.

Mental illness doesn’t discriminate and it affects more people than you think.

Always be kind. 👐🏼❤️

Holidays are coming...be prepared. When I say that I don’t mean with food and presents, I mean prepare mentally, ocd is on the attack even stronger during these months. #ocdlife

@OCD_Guy_UK I’m a woman but that’s ok!!! :)

[Living With OCD @LwOCD]

Good morning! Don’t forget it’s ok to set boundaries with people that don’t understand our OCD. It’s not meanness, it’s self preservation. #ocdlife

@JenHatmaker last night in Longview was amazing. Thanks 4 touching on counseling & medication being ACCEPTABLE things 4 Christians 2 do! I have fought OCD for 35 yrs & still the stigma around mental illness remains. We do a podcast about it & try to help as many people as we can.
