Hi everyone!

Been a little over a month since I had last done this and wanted to post an update on myself as well as seeing if any folks here want to check in with how they're doing with life or whatever is going on inside the mind.

Also, if you're not familiar with this, I just encourage people to share their stories of how they themselves have been impacted by mental health in the past and currently. It's a topic that should not be seen as taboo and one that needs to be discusses far more often than it does in the real world. Too often we're told to act tough or to show a tough exterior, but in reality that can only get you so far before internally you start to take a beating. At least, this is my experience anyway.

I have had OCD for all of my life basically. Each day is another chapter in this ever growing book of struggles that I've been dealing with for many years. That being said, my willpower is strong and I firmly believe that I will conquer this for good one day. I think I deserve a life of happiness, and that's exactly the plan I have in mind for myself. This past weekend was surprisingly tough for me, but the amount of good work helped distract me from what was running a muck in my head. It's a learning experience, and one that I'm appreciative of as it will help me towards total happiness in the future.

So tell us, with no judgment held from us, what you're going through and maybe what you're doing on a day in, day out basis to improve. For those that are checking in, what has been done in the past 5 or so weeks (or what has happened) that has impacted your life and that you've learned from. All discussions on this topic are welcomed.

This is a place for not breaking down each other but building up each other. Mental health concerns is something that nearly everyone goes through at some point in their life. I'm sure mods and admins will monitor any averse activity.

So that's the plan of the theme of this thread. Tell each other what's going on, with no judgment. We're a family here, non-traditional or otherwise. I know turking can be a grind, but the interactions with each other doesn't have to be to the mind. You might learn that someone is going through the exact same thing or has the exact same condition you're dealing with. You are truly never alone. This can open up a whole new realm of positivity in your lives, and I really hope that you all appreciate these check-ins as much as I do.

Let's kick ass today. I believe in every single one of you.

Good morning! I overslept but the good news is the word "slept", even though I may have drooled a bit on my laptop keyboard. I feel slightly embarrassed because I didn't see anyone else share in @humbleturker 's concept (as of yet...still waking/catching up on the thread) but then again I'm used to being that weirdo with their heart on their sleeve and PMs I received make it worth it. (Which I will reply to once I get situated.) Here's to a profitable day, and may all of you meet/exceed your goals. Good luck and stuff and things.

I just wanted to say thanks for being brave enough to share all this. I wish I was. Suffice it to say that I have way more in common with you than you'd think. It helps to find out you're not the only one.

Thank you for your kind words. I'm sorry that's the case, but I'm glad knowing we're both fighting a similar battle helps. urpleheart:

you're doing awesome. but I feel like you should go talk to someone who can help you get back on track 100% instead of where you are, which might be close to 100% but isn't there. I knew something was off when you started liking my posts lately. want you to get back to being 100% you! also feel free to ignore this because I could be wrong.

I'm confused by what you mean about me liking your posts, to be honest. I like posts if they're funny, kind, or helpful. Regarding the rest of it, I still see a therapist on a regular basis, which I mentioned. I've been fighting mental illness my whole life, and realistically (just like with addiction) there is no 100% in the future. There is no cure for PTSD or bipolar at this point, only symptom management. That being said, I have been giving it my all to the uphill climb that is coping, and am lucky as fuck to have found a decent therapist who knows her shit.

Thank you so much for sharing. This is inspiring to read. I'm so proud of you for not giving up, so many people do and its so much harder to keep fighting!

Thank you for your kind words, Binxy! :greenheart:

There are billions and billions of insects around the world. Could you imagine what would happen if they all decided enough was enough and rose up against the humans?

They would all get killed within a week with pesticides.

I don't know. They could be sneaky and humans would risk poisoning themselves
