The Many Versions of Me - How My Friends See Me. We can be so unkind to ourselves. Something I’m working on is to believe others when they say kind things about me. #ocd #mentalhealth https://t.co/fPQ3UT6TgB

The Many Versions of Me - How I Think Others See Me. It’s true that there’s a stigma around mental illnesses. It’s also true that we can be our harshest critics. That’s why I wanted to do this project, to remind myself that I’m not as broken as I… https://t.co/zhm2JhtHDY

New blog post! It's been a while, but I'm back, and I think I'm ready to put myself first. It's never too late. https://t.co/cEHhEcNE7P

I was getting ready for the fancy #holiday party, and as I’m shoving myself into spanx and tights and all that jazz, I said to my boyfriend how it’s very odd how in the process of making myself look like a “lady”, I feel very unladylike. #women #society

[OCDiary (natalie) @ocdiary331]

@ABrit96 That is so kind! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it 💕💕

[OCDiary (natalie) @ocdiary331]

Today I went to a party and pretended to be one of the humans. And I’m pretty sure they all believed it!! #OCD #depression #Mentalhealth #mentalillness

@TheOCDfight @overthink_2018 @TheEchoinmyHea1 @OCDandMe123 @Ocd_not_me I’m so sorry! I’ve only had success with CBT. I’ve heard some talk about EMDR working for some types of OCD, but haven’t tried it myself. Might be worth asking around!

[OCDiary (natalie) @ocdiary331]

@ABrit96 I’m so glad!! We’re all in this together. ❤️

[OCDiary (natalie) @ocdiary331]

@ABrit96 So so true. Every exposure you can make it through, even the smallest, feels like you’ve broken free just a little bit more.

I put red lipstick on today! I know it doesn’t seem like much, but my #OCD fear of blood has transformed into almost anything red. So this is something I’ve been avoiding for a long time. Little steps. #depression #recovery #Mentalhealth

[OCDiary (natalie) @ocdiary331]

@ABrit96 Thank you so much! ❤️
