Not exactly inspirational, but these seem to sum up quite a bit of what OCD is like...

"my heart is paying now

for things I didn't do"

"why can't I free your doubtful mind"

- from a Norah Jones song, "Cold cold heart"

doubt and double :) :crybaby: doubt

'Time goes by and with it you also learn to better understand certain thoughts. You also learn how to react to certain things without hurting yourself.'

- Flea

That one's for anyone with OCD and/or who suffers with self-harm :thumbup:

"The impossible we can do at once, miracles take a little longer."

This alway amused me, it was posted up in our local pharmacy for years!! Don't remember who wrote it.

'Remember that the challenges are not there to stop you. The challenges are there to help you grow.'

'Life at its best is a series of challenges. A big enough challenge will bring out strengths and abilities you never knew you had. Take on challenges and you will bring yourself to life.'

'From the moment you set your sights on a goal and start to take action, you begin to reap its rewards. The actual attainment is only the final reward - there are many more along the way.'

Hi,

this is my first post here... and below is my fave quote of all time - since long before I became OC. I think it really applies, though it always applied to me anyway, having spent my life mostly inside my head (only I liked it a lot better there before)... sorry for blabbering, here it is :blushing:

"The mind is its own place, and in itself

Can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven."

- Satan, in Milton's Paradise Lost

(Hope I'm not repeating...haven't had time to read all the posts yet)

I received this Chinese saying, from a friend about 20 years ago. I love it even though it is a bit long.

He that knows not, and knows that he knows not - teach him for he will learn.

He that knows not, but knows not that he knows not - shun him for he is a fool.

He that knows, but knows not that he knows - wake him for he is asleep, but

He that knows, and knows that he knows - follow him for he is wise.

Here are some quotes from Harry Potter movies—

What you fear the most is the fear itself. – Lupin, Prinsoner of Azkaban

Our pain becomes their power. – Professor Lupin, Prisoner of Azkaban

It is not our abilities that show what we truly are… it is our choices. – Dumbledore, Chamber of Secrets

But you know, happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, when one only remembers to turn the light on. – Dumbledore, Prisoner of Azkaban
