This is so true.💙
#OCD is not a life sentence but it’s very difficult to remember this when you’re trapped in the cycle of #IntrusiveThoughts & #Compulsions.
With lots of work it’s still possible to live a full & valid life alongside OCD.
#MeWithOCD #MentalHealthAwareness 💙
There are a lot of misconceptions about #OCD. It is important to understand that OCD is a real, difficult disorder that affects thousands of people.
While it is a hard journey, OCD is not a life sentence. You can still live your life while OCD is present!
This is an interesting point. #OCD is so complex & it’s difficult to find the balance. I often think “this is just my OCD”
It never occurred to me that this in itself is a way of seeking reassurance or minimising the thought. 🤯
#MeWithOCD #MentalHealthAwareness 💙
In facing an obsession, do not resort to reassurance or minimizing it, such as saying it's a 'brain glitch,' or it's 'stupid,' or 'it's just my OCD,' or that it doesn't matter. These are actually compulsions and simply a type of avoidance.
Confessing & apologising (even when I know I’ve not done anything wrong) plus rumination about events/conversations are compulsions that are still so ingrained that hours pass before I realise what I’m doing which then causes more #anxiety.

Last edits before my novel goes 2 @invisibooks for typesetting (no pressure). Watching an unboxing vid of 70s space heater to get details right. Since my book's hero struggles w OCD & I might have knowledge on the subject, we’re both triggered. Got thru tho. Yay me.🙂

Several years I wrote a poem about how OCD/Depression had impacted my life.
It’s featured on @OCDUK website and my own https://t.co/q4ARd20CkB feel free to have a read and share your thoughts ☺️ #MeWithOCD

A year ago my psychologist got me to write some statements on a pocket card. One of them was “Reclaim your life.”
Last year was about survival. This year really is about “reclaiming my life.” It’s constant & hard work, but very much worth it.😊

“In all honesty, I’m not sure what recovery looks like to me, but I do believe that I’m in it.”

Friday: What does ‘recovery’ look like to you?
A rollercoaster at first, but as you gain trust in ignoring your OCD it becomes a gradual climb with a few bumps in the road as you finally reach the top of the mountain of recovery #MewithOCD
Back in June last year, OCD Action and @BDDFoundation held our first ever Joint Virtual Conference.
Our Inspirational Speaker, @jackjpridmore, discussed Defining Your Own Recovery on the Main Stage.

Recovery to me is understanding that OCD does not define who you are as a person. It’s a separate entity being a jerk in your brain. #MeWithOCD

Thank you @TamingOlivia for sharing what recovery looks like to you for OCD Week of Action!
#MeWithOCD
To me, recovery from OCD is accepting that I’ll have it the rest of my life and knowing it is okay! Recovery is trying to live in the moment, accepting the bad days, and appreciating all that I have! #MeWithOCD
For Day 5 of OCD Week of Action, we are asking you to think about what recovery means to you.
#MeWithOCD
Recovery is absolutely possible but it’s not linear. I am not cured & still experience bad days but I also have days where I forget I have OCD at all! Never would have thought that was possible.
I have so much gratitude for the sense of peace & freedom this allows 🧡

What does recovery look like to you?
“For me personally, it's going about day-to-day activities that OCD once stopped me from doing, and finding enjoyment in those activities, even if the intrusive thoughts and the anxiety are still present.”
Thank you Olivia! 💙

Q. What does recovery look like to me?
Well it's a book that can't be read.
Go @ocdaction, great awareness. I'm right behind you with some more wood. #MewithOCD
For me; accepting that recovery does not mean cure. “Recovery” means getting to the point where OCD doesn’t control me every day but understanding that flair ups and bad days may still happen. #mewithocd
Recovery to me is feeling grateful to be alive. No longer feeling that I can't cope. It's about doing the things again that I enjoy. I'm not cured, but greatly improved and so if this is what recovery feels like then I'm happy #MeWithOCD
