This is the year I’m going to treat myself like a treasure and love myself to the ends of the earth.
The One who made the stars and the cosmos made me, and it’s about time I start acting like it.

I started eating breakfast for the first time since I wss eight. Miraculously, I’ve kept it down every day! I’m trying this new thing where I give my body good food that’s good for it. Today’s breakfast was a banana, carrots, and a gluten free granola bar. I have apple slices for my morning snack. OuO

–Wishing Stars–
empty skies full of shooting stars
wishless granters from way afar
I will leave my window ajar
to plead my case, although bizarre
however rare I want one thing
please say it’s something you can bring
it’s lighter than a mere shoe string
harder to find than angel wings
safety, peace, joy, and happiness
divine relief from my distress
not from a pill; that’s not progress
but true freedom from my life’s mess

I like to end every day with a cup of tea with milk and cream. It’s a habit I’ve gotten into in past month or so, and I love it.
To make it to the end of the day in one piece is a huge accomplishment for me, and having my tea is like a little celebration, or a definite finish to my day.
When I drink my tea I can sit back and think, “I made it through another day. I fought with my mind all day, but I won and here I am, cozy at home. The day is finished, and tomorrow… I can worry about tomorrow when that comes.”
If you’re reading this right now, you’re making progress whether you realize it or not, because you’re right here, and you too have made it through another day.
Take it one day at a time.

I have a lot of pet peeves, but one that gets my blood boiling every time is when people make light of OCD. It’s such a stigmatized disorder, and it’s commonplace for people to make jokes about it. If we’re ever represented on TV, it’s a running gag about how much of a neat freak we are (which…
I’ve been doing research on OCD for a
Sports Medicine class mini project. I haven’t gotten much yet, but I do agree it shouldn’t be taken lightly. I watched this episode of Dr. Phil where this one woman had OCD, and the girl said she can’t have her sister out there otherwise she thought the audience would all think her sister was prettier, resulting in a panic attack. Her tics where trying to be prettier than her sister.
It was interesting because Dr. Phil took about 3 minutes of the episode to tell the audience not to laugh if her behavior seemed bizarre, because it’s a serious medical disorder and can cause panic attacks if she was exposed to a tic of hers.
Exposure therapy is kind of bullshit. Why do that. You’re afraid of spiders, lets but a spider on your arm for an hour and you can’t remove it. If it bites you and injures you, but you shake it off, we need to keep him on longer next time because you failed.Why would you put someone through that. It’s cruel and just causing more issues
Well, because exposure therapy actually works for many people. And of course, my therapist can only set up exposures if I am fully consenting, or else that would be unethical.
So yes, exposures are hell. They are an hour or less of hell, and people need to know that so they understand OCD is serious, but that hour of hell is a big payoff. A lot of things that used to spark a reaction in me no longer do, or do so much weaker.
I mean, I can even sit I a room with a paper hanging over the desk! Before any of my therapy, I would have been on the ground panicking if I weren’t allowed to fix it.
So don’t get me wrong, exposure therapy is helpful to those who consent and are willing to do it. It’s hell in the moment and shouldn’t be taken lightly, but it does work.

Getting real sick of my friends complaining about how fat they are. Look, say what you want, but your fatter friend still struggling with body acceptance doesn’t need to hear about how you are 175 lb. and feel so obese now because you ate a bowl of macaroni.
