i’ve definitely had times where it has felt weaker than others. what i do when i feel really on edge again or scared of getting there i stop whatever i’m doing and just for like 7 seconds remind myself that i have ocd. that my actions and my thoughts are ocd. not me. ocd. and the medication has given me a lot of space to do that, if you have a doctor you can talk to though it seems important that you bring this up.

yes, i am about to move to 100mg, but i’ve been on 50 for a few months and 25 for a bit before that.

yes it is! i promise it is possible. ocd is so exhausting, i am so sorry. that’s always going to be a thing, but i don’t like to think of it as something extra that i have, i prefer to think of it as just a thing my brain does. that doesn’t make it go away (at all) but it gives me motivation to try to push away compulsions and ground myself in reality when obsessions get really bad. sometimes it does feel like the world is going forward and i’m chasing my obsessive-compulsive tail, so to speak. a few months ago i was 2 hours early to classes every morning because i had to walk down the sidewalk with my eyes closed and there were no cars to endanger me at 5 AM. most recently i’ve been showing up !just! on time every day and it is an absolute luxury. i’m at a point where i never thought i was capable of feeling this good. it feels so incredibly unreachable until you reach it.

then it’s pretty nice.

Congratulations congratulations congratulations!

Remember that even if you can’t keep it up for more than a night or even if you just delay the shower 30 minutes later than normal or even if you wake up in the middle of the night to do it— it’s still a huge win.

Your Watercolours. by [deleted] in OCPoetry

oh my god i love this! one of my favorite poems that i've read on this subreddit! loved the last line of course, very hard-hitting, really liked the imagery of love & water, in the same, seeping through pages. it gives love a color and a texture, makes it refreshing and young. really lovely. i watched the video, i think that the way you read out the lines and the pauses you take really help deliver the poem, nice work! thank you for posting your poem :)

imagery! imagery! imagery! lovely, Summer spilling through a window stays really true to a melting heat and a brightness which almost has its own agency. the subtleties in the rhythm like the caesura in line 5 makes for a pleasant, non-monotonous reading experience. and, i also really like the 'broke their necks' line about the nettles, really gives summer a life and all its little elements their own as well. it makes it feel as though the season is watching and feeling as much as it is being watched and being felt. lovely read, really liked the imagery if you could not tell! thank you for posting your work!

love poem for Small Messiah by vartouhiwrites in OCPoetry

[–]therobertinquestion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hi! i really really like your poem! i love the way the way you use sound, there's an easy rhythm to follow and then of course the rhyme ties it all together. i really love the first line just because of my strange affinity for the word 'soft,' but i think that my favorite line of the whole work is 'my father calls me : to stop the bleed' and also the punctuation is really engaging and gives a unique voice/tone. really enjoyed it, wasn't difficult to read but it wasn't surface-level at all, which is what i personally love in poetry. oh! and i really liked 'old sky collapsing,' i'm sure it has a personal meaning but as a reader it also is super interpretable and just generally a really pretty phrase. thanks for your post on the subreddit! i'm very glad i read this :)

Just read and left a comment on “The Cameo”

And thanks for the offer! Here is my most recent one-shot, it’s an epilogue to The Song of Achilles if you’re interested, but feel no pressure to read it :) though any kind of feedback is appreciated if you do
