  • Ep. 6 | I think I am ready to get my life back
    Jan 7 2023
    *mental health links below* This week's episode:

    In this weeks episode I share that I am starting to have a little more energy. At least at the time of recording I was feeling like I was having a few “good” days in a row and I am ready to put in the “work” to try to get my life back. 

    I talk about my “ALL OR nothing” thinking. How I go from 0-100 really quick and it is not sustainable.

    I also talk about how I am sick of the life I am living. I want my life back, I want myself back. I don’t want OCD to continue to be in control all of the time. 

    Who am I:

    hello everyone, I am not a doctor or therapist. I talk about my personal stories and thoughts with the hopes of helping others. I think the best way to start to help each other is by talking about what we are going through. 

    I am 24 years old and suffer from OCD, anxiety, and I believe mild depression. 

    I want to share my story with the Intention to show others they are not alone. We are all unique and are going through something different. But I know it helps when I come across someone who lives in a similar way.

    This week's episode:

    This week's episode may be hard for some to listen to.

    I know it wasn't super easy for me to record, and I have debated for many days whether or not I should post it.

    With that said, I have obviously posted it because I thought it is important for me to be honest and share what I am going though.

    I hope because I am sharing what I am going though it help others talk about what they are going through. 

    In this episode I talk about intrusive suicidal Ideation, Drinking "TO FEEL BETTER", and getting into a more aggressive therapy so I can get my life back.

    I do not believe I am suicidal, I was having intrusive thoughts.

    I CAN NOT STRESS IT ENOUGH IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON HURTING OR HARMING YOURSELF, PLEASE REACH OUT FOR HELP. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE THERE FOR YOU AND ARE WILLING TO HELP!

    This week's episode:

    In this week's episode, I talk about “starting over again” and how I need to get back into doing the Exposer responses prevention work. I feel like I was putting in the work and seeing results, and then it felt like I hit a brick wall, and I need to start from the beginning again. 

    I also talk about how it’s hard, weird, and scary to try to let go of my OCD and other mental health disorders because I have had them for so long. 

    lastly I talk about the stress the holidays bring on. 

    Please give it a listen and let me know what you think, or what you would like me to talk about next time. 

    Thank you.
