OCD Does “Not” Define You.
Fight Back! 🥊
As I sit proudly as the woman I have become it all came at a cost.
OCD threatened to take away everything I loved the most in my life.
But as I watched my way of life begin to slip away when I was in OCD’s grips, I made a firm decision in that moment.
“This wasn’t going to be my life,” I decided that even with OCD constantly hitting me it was not going to take away the life that I had envisioned for myself before OCD’s onset.
Yes, it was gruelling to endure but it wasn’t going to define me and the life I wanted to live.
Through the many mentees I mentor with OCD I see how much OCD is taking from them.
I understand just how debilitating OCD is and I understand how someone feels with the fear it radiates through our nervous systems.
But I say to anyone who is currently struggling with OCD… you can fight back!
Don’t allow this condition to take away your way of life.
If you have belief in yourself you are half way towards recovery.
Once you hold belief in yourself OCD can scream at you as much as it wants to.
But if we don’t react to OCD’s initial intrusive thought it has no where to go except scream.
Don’t allow OCD to dictate your life, you dictate your life and if OCD wants to scream at you then sometimes you just need to put OCD in the back seat and keep on driving. 🚗
If I CAN recover, so CAN you!
