northpaul Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Yes and you probably had to tolerate some uncertainty. What really matters is that you took the opportunity to concentrate your mind on something you enjoy. Link to comment

Midnight jasmine Posted June 27, 2022 Author Share Posted June 27, 2022 Thank you both. I honestly had 5 days where I could just be ME!!! I could see finally what other people see, the words that were expressed to me concerning my character were so heartwarming. And from Someone I had known for just a few days. I did have a horrible belief, fake memory with a trigger when alone in one of the portaloos. Cheating theme. I did a compulsion after the thought. It bothered me however I stopped. I shared the thought/belief with one of my closest friends! She knows i suffer with anxiety but not the specifics of the intrusions. I have now turned this thought / trigger into a positive as I opened up. I explained the trigger I.E what led to the false memory to My friend- she didn’t judge me, (she automatically went to rationalise, but please don’t judge me as I didn’t share to get reassurance as a compulsion) rather I let her in. And despite the obscurity of the thought, and how irrational it is that I could possiblly think /do what was telling myself; my friend responded ‘everyone has bizarre thoughts multiple times a day’. She doesnt think It was weird, I explained the intricacies of OCD and she understood. She thanked me for being so open. I feeL empowered so much so iM not going to talk about the thought anymore I want to end this post with inspiration for people suffering… Go to that festival, Dance in the rain Go in the portaloo, Have a drink, Be loud/be quiet Be fat /be thin who gives a monkeys about thoughts (they don’t equal actions) embrace it, love yourself and most of all just DO YOU. lots of love love Worthy farm i thank you Link to comment
