When you said, :&...You are stronger than you know.<br /><br />When you said, :"spent each day with the nobel and challenging goal of living until the next day"-- it brought a tear to my eye.<br /><br />I hope 2012 is a wonderful year for you filled with better and better mental health.Elizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18279501398388972542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7420872772406081253.post-68725630541914843652011-12-31T06:17:29.980-08:002011-12-31T06:17:29.980-08:00So glad you are feeling better, this post is inspi...So glad you are feeling better, this post is inspiring. I have felt very similar over the past month or two from starting my medication regimen, the volume of my OCD symptoms are down tremendously and I have a new excitement for life, but I ask myself, "what next." I do admit that I am also afraid of going back to the place I was just 6 months ago, when living in constant fear of this or that, but I will push forward, just as you are.Lollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12226766984165807897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7420872772406081253.post-65693729036136289812011-12-30T20:51:52.066-08:002011-12-30T20:51:52.066-08:00Just existing from day to day is VERY hard work. ...Just existing from day to day is VERY hard work. I'm glad the meds are helping you too. I doubled my meds (from 1 to 2) last Aug., after decreasing down from 4. I didn't realize how much work i was doing at the 1 pill level until i went back to 2 and felt like i had a stronger grip on ocd. <br /><br />Yes, i will be having this problem too, of having a hole where much of my life was focused on ocd: when will it show up, what will i do, what if... erp, more erp, accidental erp. heh heh. Therapy ends for my in 3 sessions and i will have to wait and see what life offers next.<br />Having had this happen after therapy years ago for depression/ child abuse issues i remember asking my counsellor 'what will i do now? so much of life is focused on this" and she said 'not to worry, it will fill up'. IT would be worse if i couldn't let go of the 'i have ocd' role and stay mired in it. i may be stuck with it for my life, but it won't define me...at least that's the plan.<br /><br />Good luck with your new lease on life, too!!!Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17182813079850508907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7420872772406081253.post-86758259284789943252011-12-30T20:27:21.998-08:002011-12-30T20:27:21.998-08:00This is great news!!!
