I have a lot of good news...

Not even yesterday was there too much to tell.  That was why I put up a quote.  Yesterday was one of those days that I just rushed in just so I can fill up "blog space".  I have more than one blog and it can be difficult to keep up at times.  The blogs are about how my day is, reflections, etc.  In short, they are just about me and who I am.  Right now, I am writing about having Obsessive compulsive disorder.  It can be a pain to deal with.  It can also be annoying...quite annoying.  I used to name the other "persona" because it felt like I was another person different from who I am.  I hated that other "persona".  I just called her the "OCD Persona". I even described it, or rather her. It was as if I had another personality that was in my head. She was hard to get rid of.  It was really about me and my own issues in the end.  While I am doing so much better and it has gotten more manageable, I am not out of the woods yet.  I still have to deal with the compulsions and looking up information. I wish I could just stop it and not give in.  I mind the compulsions even less, though.  I will always thoughts and thoughts do come (which felt so discouraging at times).  The reality is, what discouraged me is really what encouraged me.  I have thoughts and I have learned to count my blessings.  I am still anxious about things but even that has become more manageable.  I would love to live at least a day where I can be "free" from the daily cares, anxieties, and obsessive thoughts.  I would also like to cherish these thoughts by accepting them and by embracing them.  That is my goal.
