A Little About Me
Hi Fellow OCD & Anxiety people,
I should have introduced myself the first time around. Please accept my apologies. I am going to start the way Alice Cooper answered in an interview I watched of him. Who am I? First, I am a child of God, then a son, father, grandfather, a maintenance man at an elementary school, writer, and a person with OCD who has to fight it every day. Just when I think I am doing good Bam! OCD is there to tell me I am still here. I am not going anywhere. I will always be around. I am trying to learn to be okay with my OCD always being around because I want it gone for good, however I have to accept that for right now my OCD is here, and I am able to live a semi - normal life. I am never going to give up my fight of beating my OCD completely, but I know it is a marathon and not a sprint. I know it is hard dealing with OCD. It is stressful, shameful, emotional, embarrassing, and down right irritating. I have had days where I cried a couple of times at least. Please don't give up on beating your OCD. I have tried a couple of times to beat OCD myself, and was not successful. It doesn't mean you are less of a person getting up or going to therapy. A lot of people go to therapy. Brene Brown is a research professor, author, speaker, and a podcastor. She mentions all the time about going and seeing her therapist, and I know there are a lot of other people who I cannot think of who go to therapy.
A couple of other things about me are I have tried to stop eating sugar stuff, but I keep failing. I really have a hard time with not eating cookies and milk, and ice cream because Arizona is hot. I don't do any sports anymore due to the fact that I am getting older. I have started doing Tai Chi, which I enjoy. I do enjoy writing and I have self published two picture books. I know I am new at this blogging and expressing myself, but I will get better, so please keep coming back to read more.
Please if you are looking for advice or help, then please call a mental health hotline in your area to get the help you need. I am not at all any kind of therapist or doctor. I am just trying to help by telling you about myself and my struggles with OCD.
Thank you for reading my blog.
