I have OCD. I was very nervous to post this, and honestly didn’t think I ever would have courage to. For a long time it made me feel like I was the only person in the world thinking the way I do — and that kind of alone is a lonely I wouldn’t wish on anyone. It’s Suicide Prevention Month, and if you’re in that place right now, I need you to know: you’re not alone, even when your brain is doing everything to convince you that you are. If this reaches even one person and makes them feel less alone — it’s worth every bit of discomfort posting it.

But September is Suicide Prevention Month, and if even one person needs to hear this: you matter, your story isn’t over, and asking for help is strength, not weakness.

What is OCD? Don’t worry, before I knew I had it, I thought the same. Main stream media portrays it as cleanliness or being a “neat freak” and can’t fault anyone for it.
OCD is living with intrusive, unwanted thoughts and the compulsion to respond to them, even when part of you knows they’re not true, it can take over your life.

Side note: I’m not sharing this for sympathy, I’m sharing it because I needed this post five years ago and didn’t have it. If you need it now, it’s yours💌

Your gentle reminder that milestones don’t have to be big to be real. Showing up scared, trying again, doing it imperfectly, that’s still progress. Save this for the next time you need it. You don’t need permission to be proud of yourself 🤗💌 by @elsjane_

We’re back (unofficially) — marathon training, take 2. Consistency > perfection. Let’s get it.⚡️

It’s kind of scary to think the 27th of Sept is looming 🫣👀… oh damn that’s less than 3 weeks 🫪

Good luck to anyone training atm too!! stay strong, this is your reminder each training day won’t be perfect.

Progress not perfection. YOU got it!! 🌝

This is a snippet into my notes app, during the most difficult period with OCD.. I liked to refer back to these as a reminder, it is not a constant and remember your thoughts are just that.. 💭 thoughts. the only way out is (through)
I hope it finds whoever needs it most!🗒️⚡️
