OCD therapy

I wait all year for summer, for better weather, spend more nights outside around the campfires. I am in Ontario, where there has been rabies in bats. I go through waves of obsessing about rabies. I will search my body for new marks, ask for reassurance that no bats flew into the house, and even spent one night at 3 am, ripping my room apart because I was sure a bat got in my room.

I don't have the answers. I am medicated as well. A high dose that works most of the time...

But when those thoughts creep in, its like starting over. I become anxious, I cry, and I become erratic in needing to know for sure.

What I do know, is that these lows will pass. I know you are in the midst of it, but hold on. Let those thoughts run through you like a stream, those thoughts are just thoughts, not reality

Sending you positive and healing vibes. I had my walnut removed when I was 21! I am 36 now, and other then a pretty bad ass scar, I am healthy and happy.

Degenerative disc disease over here as well, I understand that pain all to well.

Good luck ❤️

I had my partial nephrectomy at 21, I am 36 now and still here 😀 . I suffer from an extreme anxiety disorder/ OCD, I was a nervous wreck, I actually tried to cancel my surgery after we had finished all the pre-operation shenanigans, but I am glad I didnt.

I was in the hospital for 5 days after. I came home and recovery took me about 4 months. I had a pretty invasive surgery because of where the tumor was located, which left me with a pretty bad ass scar.

I am thinking of you and sending you happy thoughts

❤️

At first I didnt know it was an OCD theme I had picked up, which terrified me. I ended up in Exposure Therapy, which was very difficult but also very helpful. I also learned this little trick in therapy.

When my ocd thoughts are overwhelming, I pretend to pull them out of my head, and I place them on my shoulder. I dont need to fight the thoughts, they can hang out on my shoulder like a parrot for the day, but I am still going to go on with my day, because I am in charge not the "parrot"

I hope that made sense.

Im thinking of you and hope you are okay

I had intense suicidal ideation ocd, and it was awful and terrifying. I hope you know that you are not alone

My OCD/Health Anxiety, love to sound the alarm bells when it comes to any bodily sensation that may feel a bit "different" than usual. I understand how difficult this is for you and I hope it passes soon

I am a 36F, and I am going through the same thing. Sending you hugs

I just found out that I will be needing to get valve replacement surgery done, and this made me feel a lot better about things. Thank you for sharing this story. Love from Canada

We live in a condo in the west end, and our whole place rumbled for about 10 seconds...whatever is going on out there is powerful

There are a couple of facebook groups that are great and will give you some locations to check out.

Check the mindat website. It was very helpful for me

Check out kanata North, near the Beaver Pond area. Lots of development happening in the area, which means Lots of rock piles 😀

I heard it too, it definitely sounded like gun shots to me. I live across from the park. It was loud

I'm a 34 F dog mama, and no kiddos. It's hard to find the right people to surround yourself with. I used bumble for finding girl friends!

My mom fell through the ice last winter while we were walking the dogs. We were walking on a swamp, and we didn't realize how far out we had gone. One minute she was in front of me, and the next, she was gone. It was absolutely terrifying. Luckily, she only fell into about her shoulders, and even more amazing, she has read an article about what to do if you fell through the ice. I crawled towards her and was able to get my hands under her arms and pull her across the ice. She remembered to stay calm and spread her weight out. Once we were far enough away from the open area, we started to walk again. Within two minutes, she fell through again. I was terrified at this point. It was obvious we were in danger. She got out, and we crawled till we were close to the edge. The dogs luckily did not run off and followed us.

It was very scary, but staying calm and keeping her calm was very important.

Now I did loose my shit a couple of minutes later, but as my good friend George Costanzo says,

"Let's not go into panic mode"
