Hurt feelings

I have been taunted and teased.  I have been laughed at and made fun of.  I leave that behind and got over it. If only my thoughts tell me to not just get over it.  In fact, I have allowed them to keep me stuck in the past. I am surprised that I am not bitter.  The thoughts seem more real than they already were.  Some things just don't leave a person like that.  One has to work on things.  I have learned much from having OCD.  It has helped me become a much stronger and wiser person.  Other than that, having OCD can just suck the life out of a person.  It is like a bully and it is a constant fight each and every day.  Some days are just worse than others. Things have become more manageable, but it hasn't always been easy.  I have largely moved on, but unlike reality, I just hope that I will remain stuck in the past.
