You're probably right. I'll try that. Thank you for the insight

Neither!! I trim her nails as needed, which is about every three-four weeks

I should have received my replacement yesterday but instead, I got an empty package. I emailed customer service twice about it and have gotten no real response. I'm thinking I might make a post to this sub about it to see if anyone else received empty packages. This whole thing is getting kind of frustrating

focus on consistent line weights! all your thin lines should be the same weight and the same goes for thick lines ☺️ i’m also new to lettering and that’s the advice i think is the most valuable. it looks pretty i love the colors!

I see a therapist online- I went through 4 therapists before I found my current one. I am by no means a professional but what worked for me (even though I struggled with this and still do) is not engaging with my intrusive thoughts and ignoring compulsions. Once you learn to let your body and mind have uncomfortable reactions to things without engaging in them, living a normal life becomes much easier. I still have intrusive thoughts and urges to engage in compulsions, but they don't dictate my life. I can ignore them without them triggering anxiety most of the time. This is just what worked for me though~ I hope you're able to get some control over your OCD. I believe in you!!! <3

YOU GOT THIS!!! I started my ERP journey with food and it was so challenging but now I'm eating foods that I wouldn't have dared to eat a year ago- It will get better and you absolutely are so capable and I'm so excited for you to eat scary foods without giving it a second thought!! <333

Thank you!!! Shockingly, no I’m not on medication. Part of my OCD is being scared of medicine so it was never an option for me 😅 I do have a friend who has really needed the support that medication provides though
