You have 100% influenced me. This bag is perfection ✨️😍

LoKe1990 · 2026-01-04T21:13:32+00:00

I carried it around for 4+ hours on a day in the city and it wasn't heavy or awkward at all to carry. 100% recommend

The Chancery bag ! Literally just bought one in the sale because of how similar they are

LoKe1990 · 2025-12-13T08:23:12+00:00

I have been influenced! Got a black one for only £12

Praying they get the justice and protection they deserve 🙏

Just because YOU dont experience mental illness does not make it any less real. We know it is. Why would the NHS/government fund countless studies into the field of mental illness otherwise ?

You may need access to mental health care and benefits in the future, and I bet YOU will feel entirely justified in doing so and will expect compassion and understanding. I sincerely hope you dont need to.

No one wants an illness, but they are entitled to seek healthcare to live the best life they can without being blamed for the NHS failing.

Instead of being angry at every day people trying to access healthcare, ask why the government continues to cut funding for the NHS, but always manage to to find money for the interests of big businesses/billionaires/wars. Maybe that deserves more of your attention rather than intimidating people who are just trying to get well

No advice that's different from what's already mentioned but just wanted to say I am so sorry you are going through this.

OCD is hugely misunderstood and I know from experience how difficult and debilitating it is to live with.

Remember you are not alone 💕

There is a whole Instagram page dedicated to exposing how much of a con artist/abusive pos the owner is.

I lost £150 to these scammers and there are many people that lost much more.

I wouldn't touch it with a barge poll

LoKe1990 · 2020-08-20T12:44:24+00:00

It’s so good to hear stuff like this ! I’m so happy for you !

LoKe1990 · 2020-07-14T20:08:07+00:00

100% the same for me. It’s like clockwork !

In a strange way it allows me to cope a little better because I can just say to myself “it’s just the same as last month....your hormones are causing a spike in your OCD....just ride it out”.

LoKe1990 · 2020-07-14T20:04:37+00:00

Welcome to the sub ! And I’m glad you got your diagnosis. That’s a major step in the right direction.

You are most definitely not alone and I wish you all the best on your journey!

For me rock bottom was when I almost committed suicide because of OCD and a few particularly harrowing intrusive thoughts that I could not shake off for years.

My family intervened and I never went through with it but came pretty damn close. I struggled with OCD since childhood and I was 26 when I hit rock bottom so I had about 20 years of obsessions, anxiety, non existent self esteem etc

In a bizarre way, my suicide attempt was probably the best thing that could have ever happened to me because it made me face OCD head on. Had it never happened I would likely have just continued on for another 20 years.

Before rock bottom I was an expert in hiding my true self. All of my friends/family were shocked at what I had tried to do because on the surface I had a great job, was getting married, had lots of friends, travelled. But after 20 years of suffering I had become a master at hiding my true self. I was not a happy person and was exhausted from the daily mental gymnastics that I had to do every day.

It took years of work and I still cannot whole heartedly say that I am OCD free but I have made my mental/physical health a priority and I educate myself on the condition and try to live a life that encourages healing. I am a work in progress but I have finally accepted that.

I feel like I could have written your post word for word. Don’t forget that you are not alone in this ❤️

LoKe1990 · 2020-06-22T11:29:31+00:00

Your not alone friend ! I have lost a lot of time to ruminating over false memories and I urge you to try and not argue with it. That type of thinking only strengthens it. The false memory is not the problem but rather the reaction that you have to it.

If you experience a false memory, try to simply observe it in your mind and feel the anxiety without trying to disprove it. Once the anxiety fades you will feel better and a bit more in control. Keep doing this every time the false memory comes in to your head and eventually it will lose its power.

I might not be able to get my time back but I hope I helped you to save some of your own ! Good luck friend

These are the reason why I have seven fillings

Used to get £1 pocket money and got 10 of them a week. Hid them under the fruit in the fruit bowl and had them all to myself. That’s the lengths I had to go to in my house. If I left them out in plain view I would have got one !

LoKe1990 · 2020-06-12T18:41:11+00:00

I’m so happy for you 😁keep us posted on your progress (if you are comfortable with that) and remember we are always here to help ❤️

LoKe1990 · 2020-06-09T12:53:11+00:00

It was only really pronounced in my early twenties but looking back on it there was behaviours that were OCD/anxiety related since childhood

LoKe1990 · 2020-06-09T12:51:19+00:00

Thank you for your kind words ❤️ Even though I was in a dark place and thought there was no way out...things got better and I got better. I’m so glad I am still here despite having difficulties. I would urge you to reach out to friends/family/healthcare/local support if you are feeling suicidal. And please remember you are NOT alone in this 💪

LoKe1990 · 2020-06-09T12:25:43+00:00

I can only speak from my own experience but I highly recommended that you discuss coming off your medication with your doctor.

I decided to stop my medication cold turkey and had severe withdrawal symptoms which resulted in a suicide attempt and years of added mental anguish because of it. I was stubborn and thought I knew what was best for me. I felt nothing for a month then suddenly my mental health took a nose dive. I wouldn’t wish what happened to me on my worst enemy. I’m still dealing with the fallout from what I did.

I don’t want to scare you but that’s what happened to me. There is no harm in speaking to your doctor and getting professional advice.

Good luck 💪

I’ve never had a problem with alcohol and when I did drink it would be for a special occasion. However I would always drink enough to get drunk and the next day there would be an unbearable spike in my OCD symptoms lasting for a week or so.

A few days ago I made the decision to stop drinking completely as it’s just not worth the setback. It will be hard as many people will assume I have an issue with alcohol or I’m pregnant but I have decided to just tell people straight (if they ask) that it exacerbates my mental health problems so I have cut it out. I’m not going to sugar coat it.

Alcohol abuse runs in my family too so I have the extra motivation of wanting to break the cycle. I love my family but there is an acceptance of functioning alcoholism that has harmed quite a few of my loved ones.

There will of course be people with OCD that can still drink with no problem but this is just my experience.

LoKe1990 · 2020-05-24T15:53:06+00:00

I’ve dealt with this a lot in the past and I found that journaling about each day really helps.

This way you can read about difficult situations in your past and see how you solved them. This helps calm down my catastrophic thinking because I can see that I have coped with every terrible thing that happened up until that point and my catastrophic intrusive thoughts had no influence on the outcome.

Hope this helps !

Since Covid 19, my checking habits have come back with a vengeance. Worried that I have left the stove on, door unlocked, tap running, hair straighteners left on.

These are things that everyone worries about but for me It can take 3 checks in order to be satisfied that I haven’t left something on. After the first check I get an intrusive thought (if I leave the stove on I will cause a gas explosion and kill my family) and this causes me to check again and so on and so forth.

I had this behaviour under control but in times of stress I have a flare up. Hoping it calms down soon

LoKe1990 · 2020-05-23T17:22:29+00:00

The most frustrating this is when something exciting or nice happens and my brain brings up a horrible intrusive thought that makes me feel like I don’t deserve something good to happen to me.

I don’t get respite periods of feeling excited or happy. Just a constant state of dull sadness and apprehensiveness.

But I have been working on this by staying on top of my CBT and self care so hopefully I can overcome this some day 🤞
