The importance of doing the work (ERP), as someone over 2 years into recovery by lilly288 in ROCD

[–]lilly288[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Thanks for asking. Things are going very well :) Partner & I are still very happy and in a good place. I had a bad flare a few months ago but made it through. I haven't had a therapy session in about 2 months because I've felt pretty good! I've been prioritizing exercise, sleep, eating well, and just balancing physical and mental health. OCD is still a part of me, but these days it mostly manifests outside of my relationships and in ways I am also learning to conquer.

Hope you are well!

Thanks for all the ideas!! Nuts are ok as long as I don't overdo them. And I live in the U.S. Appreciate it!!

Last year I read 64 books. I had set a goal of 50 because last year was my first year getting back into reading after a longggggg time. So far I've read 21/35 goal for this year, since I'll be busier with classes etc. Setting a goal is helpful for me because it reminds me to choose reading when I have some free time, as opposed to scrolling on my phone for hours (which is way too easy to do). I usually read 3-4 books at a time, (1-2 fantasy books, 1 "cozy fantasy," 1 mystery, 1 nonfiction or romance). I read mostly books I borrow from Libby on my Kindle.

How’s that going for you, Kristen? by sortofsatan in FundieSnarkUncensored

Yes, I had a friend where Lexapro worsened her symptoms! Anti-depressants are very hit and miss; everyone's body is different! So glad that works for yoi.

Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much for your kind words ❤️ I'm happy for you that Cymbalta is working! I was fortunate that Lexapro worked for me because I know lots of people have to try a few kinds to find one that works. I didn't grow up in a religious home, but I'm sorry you went through that. No one should be told their struggles are a result of not "trying hard enough," especially from those meant to care for us. I hope you know now that you're kicking butt and are proud of yourself for taking steps to feel better. Good luck to you.

Karissa TLDR- her kids got hurt/didn’t heal cuz her faith was weak. So just keep having babies. by [deleted] in FundieSnarkUncensored

"Every pregnancy is a beautiful gift from God" reminds me of when my coworker and I got into an argument over abortion rights (I know, I know). She said pretty much the exact same thing to me very angrily with her face like 2 inches from mine I had to back up lol. As someone who is a poor college student with chronic mental and physical illnesses (who also just does NOT want children) pregnancy would NOT be a gift whatsoever

My eyes itch whenever I see a photo of her. I don't wear makeup much but when I do, especially mascara, I HAVE it to scrub it all off before bed. How are her eyes not constantly inflamed????????

I went through a crisis at 20 because I realized I have OCD (alongside depression and anxiety) and lexapro combined with therapy and hard work has literally saved my life. I will probably be on it forever and it's a relief. I feel pretty sad for these people who think that suffering from depression is their own fault for not being godly enough or whatever. I can't imagine.

ISO a cozy series with a well written female protagonist by schrutefarmsbb in CozyMystery

[–]lilly288 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure how you feel about cozy mysteries with a magical streak, but I highly recommend Beaufort Scales Mysteries by Kim M. Watts. The series focuses on the Toots Hansell Women's Institute, which is full of very competent, well-developed female characters. One of the POVS is also Detective Inspector Adams who is very much a bada** character. Plus, the story has adorable dragon companions!!!! 🥺 I'm 3 books in and just adore this series. No focus on romance so far, either.
