Guest PolytheneBoy Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Hello everyone, I thought I would reintroduce myself since it's been many years since i posted! A lot has happened since I last frequented here, and I have had many ups and downs, struggles and whatnot. Though I'm happy to say that I'm doing well for the most part. I have undertaken a few volunteering roles of different types since back in the noughties, seen a few other professionals and had counseling. And I'm pleased to say I am at a functional level and coping with my OCD quite well. I was hopeless and found no comfort in anything when I was younger, though now I must say that recovery is possible, even when it seems like it isn't. I'm not sure if any of you will remember me, since I wasn't posting often, rather little and spaced over time. I am feeling somewhat ashamed for coming back when I fear I could've done and said hurtful things... Guess that could be OCD, right? I have had intrusive thoughts and urges since I first became aware of them, and they are becoming a quiet voice in my life and I know that things can improve. Anyway, I return with a clearer mind and a better sense of my own judgement, so hope I can share some insights in my journey and not make a fool of myself Link to comment
Guest PolytheneBoy Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Hi and thank you PolarBear. I noticed our names are similar with the P and the B in there! What drew you to choose PolarBear? Link to comment
Guest Sisyphus Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Hi PolytheneBoy. Nice to see you back here to share your experiences with this beast. I am feeling somewhat ashamed for coming back when I fear I could've done and said hurtful things... Guess that could be OCD, right?Well I don't know all the details but if it's based on something trivial then it sounds like a good contender for hyper-responsibility which is commonly associated with OCD. All the best, David. Link to comment
PolarBear Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Hi and thank you PolarBear. I noticed our names are similar with the P and the B in there! What drew you to choose PolarBear?I'm Canadian. I was trying to think of a name and I thought what's more Canadian than a polar bear. Link to comment

Guest PolytheneBoy Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Polar: It's a cool name, and I wasn't aware that there were polar bears in Canada. I probably knew when I was younger but hadn't even thought about it until now you said it! Sisyphus: Thanks for the welcome. Hyper responsibility sounds plausible, seen it mentioned around places online so I will be more aware of it in future. All the best and see you around the boards! Link to comment
