I never stopped working because I knew how important it is to have some form of structure. Also work could sometimes provide a distraction from all the BS going on in my head. Did you say you were off your meds? Why did you come off? Have you gotten back on?
Day 30:
Yesterday marked my first month on the meds. I can say that I am really happy i made the decision to give it another shot. It has most certainly improved my quality of life. I am seeing an improvement in my OCD, anxiety & depression.
Don't believe everything you think.
Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.
Day 31, 32, 33, 34:
This was the thanksgiving break, and overall had a good break. I did have a bit of a blip the past day or so, but have managed it WAY better than I did the last time. It was a similar situation to the one I faced this summer and I did have a blip, but know the methods to make myself feel better. My gf and I had a talk about moving in sometime in the future and it sparked my anxiety. It is something that I do want, but for some reason have a tremendous amount of anxiety because of it. Have any of you ever experienced this? I have had Relationship OCD in the past, but this just seems like normal anxiety about a big decision in my life. I am trying not to worry about it as it is months/years away.
But when I was bad, I talked to my gf about it and she was a trooper. She knows when I am in the midst of anxiety and when I am not so it was a relief to be able to tell her how I feel and her support me. I then went to the gym and sprinted to get the endorphins up and felt better.
Day 35:
Little bit of a rough day, but ended well. Had a lot of negative thinking and some dark thoughts, but fought through them and had a nice night with my gf which seemed to lift the cloud a bit. Very thankful for her! She definitely brightens my day and mood.
Day 36:
Good day. I noticed when driving home that I am really not as obsessive as I used to be. These meds have definitely helped me get a lot more enjoyment out of life. I take things one thing at a time and can definitely live more in the moment. I have blips here and there occasionally but I am able to look at things much more objectively and not obsess over them.
Excited for my Aruba vacation next week.
Day 37:
Still trucking along. Still feeling good!
