Could I love this more? I don’t think so. I have been challenged by people over the years when I say “I’m sorry I’m busy” or “I don’t have the time at the moment”. Why should I have to justify myself, who are they to say “if it was important to you, you would make the time”? No wonder my self care regime was ripped to pieces if I was constantly appeasing others. I’m working on not feeling like I’m letting anyone down when I need some time to reset my brain and do what is best for me. My version of busy has nothing to do with them and everything to do with me, my sanity and my self worth.

note: this post is about ocd and avoidance as a compulsion. avoidance might make sense in some cases, i think? to know what’s best for you, work with a therapist. i am not one! and the views on my page are just from my experiences! • • • know your triggers but don’t avoid them: sounds counterintuitive, right? i’m still trying to make sense of it myself. but the more we avoid, the more our brain believes those triggers are dangerous. usually, in the case of OCD, they’re not. • • • this weekend, i found myself surrounded by celebrations of love and family, both of which are triggers for me (though, in the non-traditional sense and not in the same way as, say, a conversation on pedophilia) -- the presence of such result in me feeling that 'i've definitely done something wrong and don't deserve love/support/the good things' kinda feeling. but, could you imagine if i avoided the celebrations? that's not how i want to live my life. the other trigger i was surrounded by this weekend was illness. often, i think my OCD got much worse when i learned my dad has ALS. and, i usually return from time spent with him with another intrusive thought i can't shake. i think it's my way of trying to protect myself from the pain of his illness. but could you imagine if i avoided my father? just for some semblance of control over my ocd? no thank you. i love my family and i love love. those are my values, as well as my triggers, and i’m going to embrace them and face them head on. • • • i don’t think i’m making much sense, but hopefully something is landing. xoxo. #realocd

I think recovery is when you feel excited to be alive again. When you don’t feel terrified of the world or your own brain anymore. When you get butterflies in your stomach..when you feel gratitude, and when you spend more time smiling and laughing, than you do crying. I think I can finally safely say I am out of OCDs grips for the most part, and I feel so proud of that. I still get triggers - everyday. But they only last for minutes, hours or a day or two if it’s a particularly bad one. And most importantly, I have the strength to deal with triggers. When I was really unwell, my triggers turned into episodes that consumed every ounce of my brain, and lasted for weeks. But after going through such a rough year with OCD, I’ve come to the conclusion that in a way, I am so grateful that things got as bad as they did. Because I wouldn’t have learnt how to fight OCD, and I wouldn’t have the gratitude and perspective that I now have. I just want to remind anyone who’s struggling or afraid, that things CAN get better. A year ago, I felt as though I would never be able to function again, because my mind was consumed by OCD, from the minute I woke, to the minute I fell asleep out of sheer exhaustion. It’s a long road, but OCD doesn’t have to be a death sentence. And when you come out the other side, you’ll be so much stronger and happier because of it.

Through therapy Vanessa learned what she had to do to confront and overcome her OCD. When new or old issues creep in, she knows it’s time to work on exposures. The goal is to stay strong and keep OCD weak. Hear her OCD in the film.

Does anxiety seem like this big scary monster to be avoided? If you answered yes, I can see why given how much of a disturbance it can cause! But, what if anxiety isn’t a monster at all, but a very small part of you that is terrified of being alone, rejected, forgotten about, dismissed, judged or hurt? What if this is a part of you that desperately wants your attention and will do anything to come up for air? Have you ever been next to a screaming child? Is the child a monster? No! It’s a child that needs love and attention! So the next time you experience anxiety, look at it as a child and see if the way you approach it shifts! Leave me a comment letting me know how you view anxiety! . . . . . . . #relationshipanxiety #ROCD #anxietyrecovery #anxietyawareness #anxietywarrior #anxietysupport #overcominganxiety #anxietyanddepression #anxietycure #doubt #relationshipmanagement #relationshipcoaching #beatanxiety #anxietysupport #depressionandanxiety #anxietyattacks #anxietysufferer #anxietytips #anxietyfree #anxietyreducer #intrusivethoughts #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #obsessivecompulsive #ocdawareness #ocdrecovery #anxietymanagement #rumination
