Hi Megun,
OCD is the worst, isn't it? I know what you're going through. The doubting is the hardest part. You think you must be losing it because "normal" people wouldn't think like that. Your mind thinks of the worst possible things and you go over them again and again looking for answers, trying to figure it all out and what it means. I just wrote a long post in the OCD forum because I'm dealing with the same thing. Keep your chin up - you can get through this! I heard from a book we are some of the strongest people (anxiety sufferers) because of what we put ourselves through again and again and come out the other side!

That's probably true! I know when I was in labor (natural due to not liking drugs) they said I was the most calm person they'd ever seen at a 10cm. Also after my father died my mother was shocked how much stronger I was for everyone. I'm used to crisis. . . I do it all the time to myself. LOL

Hey Chris,
I just wanted to tell you that your post on Aug. 1st has helped me alot. My mind has felt like it was racing a mile a minute thru out this morning. Your words of wisdom have helped
me alot. I feel like if I can just calm down and do my relaxation tape. My day can be a good one! I see that you are a "veteran" of us (2006). That helpes me to stay positive..to know that this program really does work.
God Bless You and take care

Wow thank you!! That means a lot. It really does get easier. I still have my bumps, but I don't feel like the world is coming to an end and I realize that when I do have a bad day, that it will not be forever. That in itself is the biggest comfort for me when I'm feeling 'weird'. I just think. . .ahh, I'm feeling weird today, but if I just go with it, it will go away eventually. LOL
