@IOCDF@SELFmagazine I am almost 60 years old and I had often thought that for my funeral my family should request donations be made to the OCD Foundation in lieu of flowers but after seeing this post I may have changed my mind. Let me assure you, reassurance has saved my life at times.
Many times I have wanted to say to several people - If you had known how much it would have meant to me, would it have made any difference to you at all?
Once at the beach I struggled to make my way past a wide area of awful, ugly, seaweed filled water and suddenly I reached the most beautiful, clear water I have ever seen and it seemed to go on forever. I immediately thought of life. I am SO blessed but I've struggled so hard.
#amandaandsaraeldritch How my heart hurts for what they went thru. I understand their fears completely. #OCD Prayer & Paxil & hobbies (cross stitching, quilting, gardening, other crafts) & my husband have all helped me so much and kept me alive. There is always hope!
