It’s kinda cool how someone can just pop into your life all of a sudden and become so important to you within such a small amount of time. I think that’s what makes life so interesting though. There’s always a reason to be hopeful for the future because you never know what good things will come your way next.
OCD is one of those mental illnesses that people show support for until they learn about what fucked up intrusive thoughts result from it. I’ve literally seen someone on here put in their byf “don’t follow if you have OCD with [insert intrusive thought here].
A lot of OCD intrusive thoughts are very terrible sexual ones involving the potential to harm loved ones...except these thoughts make YOU suffer, not other people. They aren’t true desires and beliefs; they’re called “intrusive” for a reason.
I’ve literally isolated myself out of fear from my intrusive thoughts, assuming I would hurt someone if I got close. So, it’s disappointing, to say the least, that people will think of you as terrible for what your mental illness already makes you feel terrible.

Depression is actually pretty darn pathetic. Depression has very little power against you IF it can’t find a worthy opponent to oppose you. You give it a challenge so the only way it can really influence you and deal some damage is if depression gets you to fight yourself. Don’t be your enemy, be your friend. Be on your team. It’s not you against your broken body, it’s you and your body against a manipulative monster disease. Learn how to love yourself and you will want to fight depression even harder when you realize that you are actually a cool person and you actually want to live. There is power in truth and living in it. Self-hate is based on lies, and you lived in those lies by beating yourself up with them. Now try the truth of self-love and start being nicer to yourself. No, it's not easy to get out of self-hate, but make the choice to try and understand yourself and take it a step at a time and then you will be surprised that you actually like some of the parts of yourself that you didn't think you did. As a Christian, I say God bless and may you receive more than you think you will. Depression may be an enemy you will have to continually face, but its shadow is bigger than itself and your shadow doesn't even begin to reveal the greatness of you.
just a heads-up for those of you (like me) who have triggers surrounding animal harm/death, PETA has released a youtube ad with sounds of owls screaming in agony and goes into graphic descriptions of ‘mutilation’ and death. it’s unskippable.
if you see a black screen with audiowaves on it or hear owls/johns hopkins, get out of there
Anyway adults saying “I don’t know isn’t an answer” is part of the reason I learned to lie and bluff so well.
Another angel compilation for you guys who like this sort of thing.
It's okay to take meds even if it's for a life time. They are trying to compensate for what's lacking. Don't listen to the mean beans that tell you that it's because you are weak and you just want to take the easy way out. LIES! Your brain is having trouble producing the right chemicals so you need some extra help. Think about how people take insulin because their body can't produce enough. It's the same idea folks! They are mad at you for taking something their brain is already producing! Meds aren't the easy way out, there also needs to be other changes in your life to help with your specific type of illness but therapy alone cant talk your chemicals into balancing so you need renewed thoughts and balanced chemicals to truly make progress! It's not an attitude adjustment, it's an adjustment that's needs to be made on the cellular level! Meds don't take all the pain away but it allows you to see a situation more realistically and for you to see more clearly your thoughts and the thoughts of illness so you can make happier choices. It works on the part that your helpless with so you can start learning how to help yourself in the areas you can eventually do something about. I LOVE GOD. I know he does miracles everyday. However, he uses people and the situations in life to answer our prayers. He sent you the doctor and he is giving you the opportunity to take medicine to better your health. He uses ordinary situations in extraordinary ways. Sometimes he doesn't just miraculously make the storms disappear, he wants to walk with us through the storm and take us step by step into healing. May God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit bless you more than you ever thought he would.
