I'm really struggling right now. Like a lot of people with OCD, I'm an information junkie, and I'm super aware of what I should be doing to combat my OCD. Doing it is a whole other thing.
At this point, all I feel sure of is that I will drag my butt into work every day next week. Not making it to work is a slope I will not start down (unless I'm actually sick, of course), because that can lead nowhere good. Other than that, no promises.
I am posting here my commitment to finally listen to a meditation CD that a friend sent me weeks ago. I will post again tonight whether I did it- that'll be an exciting post for sure.

Hang in there. Meditation can be helpful. So can yoga. Obviously nothing beats ERP, so if you can do *some* sort of exposure for a chunk of time (even 20 minutes), that's helpful. But there will be those days, won't there, and you just have to treat yourself nicely and remember that you're human.
ReplyDeleteI did "do" the meditation CD, although not in a particularly focused manner. Got to start somewhere though. I have a yoga CD from the library, although it's in Spanish. I've been meaning to try that, too.
