A little about my very beginning.

Hi Everyone,

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. 

When I started seeing my therapist in March 2023, I was at the top of the scale for OCD. I was an extreme case per my therapist. She told me that she might not be able to help me. That I might have to go in house for help. I live in Arizona, the closest in house is Texas, and in house costs a lot of money. I thank God and my therapist for getting me better so I didn’t have to go in house. When I started I was seeing my therapist once a week. If I could have afford it I would have done twice a week, but I couldn’t. I still go see my therapist every other week. I have came a long ways, but still have a long ways to go. I’m not satisfied with semi-normal person, and I don’t want you to be either. I feel I’m semi-normal for the reason I want to have OCD completely gone from my life in every way. I’m not going to ever stop getting better with OCD. I pray you don’t give up either.

I want to tell you why I post my pictures of New York. I don’t put the pictures of my New York trip to boost, but to show you miracles can happen if you believe in God, your therapist, yourself, and don’t give up for miracles can happen for you too.  If someone told me I was going to go to New York in November of 2023, I would have told them they are nut. In the beginning of 2023 I almost quit my job, and felt I was close to becoming a hermit. I’m going to leave it there for now. One last thing , I believe having some kind of support system in your life does help.  If all you have is your therapist to support you, then that is okay.  If you are blessed with more people that is great.

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.

Your not alone.

This Blog is for anyone with any kind of mental health issue that needs to know that you are not alone. I am not a therapist or any kind of doctor, so I’m not giving any advice. I’m a person who has OCD, and understands my struggles with mental health. 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.

That being said, I’m going to post on this blog every week or every other week about how my OCD came about, my struggles, and my victories even if they are only small. In the hope of helping someone. I know this is a little weird being on my author website, but I’m not good at computer stuff, and didn’t want to pay for another website just yet.

Do you feel that you are too far gone with your OCD that you will never be able to live a semi-normal life ever again. I say semi-normal because I feel I will always have OCD. It will never go away. It always finds a way to latch on to something in my life to keep coming back. I did feel that I was too far gone to ever live even a semi-normal life ever again. I am not or may never be one hundred percent normal, but I am a lot better than I was two and half years ago. Thanks to God and my therapist Rachel. Rachel told me I was an extreme case. Top of the scale with how bad my OCD was, and if I can get better, so can you. Believe in yourself and God. The picture above is me in New York city in November of 2023 by myself. This is a miracle in my book.

Until next time,

Tracy T. Agnelli
