I started this blog as a way of journaling my progress....this is about my journey to conquer OCD and depression. I am tired of hiding. I am fed up with living in terror and under something else controlling me. I can't do that anymore. If you have never felt this way, you really don't have any idea what I am talking about.
In this blog, I will be REAL and brutally honest. As I said before, I am tired of dealing with uncontrollable thoughts and compulsions which in turns leads to depression and hopelessness.
I am NOT a hopeless case! No one is hopeless unless they quit getting help or give up and resign themselves to it. I WILL NOT GIVE UP!! I love my life. I have a beautiful husband, gorgeous children and a new beautiful grandson. I don't feel suicidal, but I can understand how someone could....
mental illness is NOT hush hush unless you want it to be. There is a stigma associated with it....but you know what?
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT ANYONE ELSE THINKS! We need to press forward to love our families and help others.
In postings to follow, I will explain my journey and how I came to be where I am now. I see the signs that I ignored...either out of fear of foolishness or just denial.
As for now, I will get this blog up and running and pray that others will understand and seek help. It is NOT the impossible task! We can beat this....and live an abundant life!
