Today was my 76th birthday, and I had a wonderful time with my wife, and friends.
And it's a time to reflect, and thank, all those who help me here when my OCD flares up, and who encourage me back to health and wellbeing. And of course also to thank my wonderful therapist M.
Thank you so much OCD-UK, the members and bulletin board users for all you do and have done for myself and other sufferers.
I'm on a journey. Sometimes I think I'm on the right path and other times not, the temptation to ruminate over this is powerful of course. Am I on the right path? Am I getting the right therapy with the right therapist? Am I overthinking all of this?! Am I making this more difficult or seeing things that aren't really there? Am I missing something vital to my recovery? The OCD answer is to embrace the uncertainty and say 'I don't know. Maybe I am, maybe I'm not but I am going to keep moving forward'.
