    Hi Lost , I am sorry you can't sleep Lost. Take deep breaths to try to relax now that you have problems to sleep. Your breath is a powerful tool to ease stress. Remember that you are doing a great job, feel very proud of yourself. You deserve to sleep well after all the hard work. Stay strong! You can do it! you can relax and have a good sleep. big HUG

    Hi GreyCat , I am sorry you feel too vulnerable at the moment. In the past, I used to have problems to write because of my OCD too. Keep working hard against OCD, It is the only way to overcome these problems. big HUG

    Hi Gerard I agree with gingerbreadgirl. They are just thoughts. Don't listen to your OCD. Don't listen to that big fat liar.

    I am glad if I said something that helped you in the past Handy. On the other hand, sometimes it is difficult to understand you. There is absolutely nothing positive about performing compulsions. In my opinion, compulsions don't have a positive side. This post is about having a day without OCD. What is the first thing you would do in a day without OCD Handy?

    Hi GreyCat I love animals. It is one of my dreams to help in an animal shelter. I have 3 dogs, they are rescue dogs. Don't say impossible Greycat, I truly believe that we are capable of achieving the impossible. We just have to start to believe it. That is the first step: once you choose hope, anything is possible. Besides you love animals , that is the most important thing you need to work in an animal shelter.

    Hi guys Well, imagine that you don't have OCD for one day... what is the first thing you would do (something that OCD doesn't let you do)? In my case, I would love to go to work and go jogging without having OCD thoughts that make my day harder. And I would drive my car again, I would be driving the entire day just because I wouldn't have my OCD stopping me to drive.

    Take time to do what makes your soul happy, Don’t listen to the OCD negativity.

    Hi Workingitout, Welcome to the OCD-UK forums , It is great that you are going to start professional therapy in September. It is good that you know that you don't have to confess, you are going in the right direction. Confessing is your compulsion. If you give in to compulsions like confessing, it will get worse.

    I am in charge of how I feel and today I am choosing happiness :)

    Hi malina First, let me tell you that I think that you are a very brave person. It is inspiring that you want to challenge your OCD in that way Second, remember that OCD is a big fat liar, so no matters what is telling you tomorrow, you have to remember that is just OCD, It is just this big fat liar trying to get your attention. Stay strong! You can do this I send you tons of hugs
