New year, new me
My mind has been a mess lately.
It has been a long time since I wrote my last post. The reason is the mess in my mind. (What a surprise!) Every year in January, I make a list of goals for the next 12 months. I usually manage to accomplish most of my goals, I hope this trend continues and I will look back at the end of the year with a huge smile on my face.
One of my goals is this blog. I have a clear idea of what I want: how to grow it, how to be accepted by people, to start earning money from it and so on. One of the main aspects of this goal is writing often, to be more precise – 2 posts every week. I’m completely failing at it for now, however, it is just the beginning of the year and I choose to stay positive.
My biggest worry is what to write about. I was
thinking to write about my struggles with OCD and constant effort to feel “normal”, however, I feel quite well lately. Probably the
years of reading about OCD, cognitive-behavioral therapy and, most importantly,
accepting my condition led to the point where I could talk freely about it. All of this
removes a huge amount of the fear and stress that it used to awake in me; learning
how to cope with the intrusive thoughts, not letting them grow in my mind, have
saved me from hours, days or even weeks of suffering.
I decided not to push myself too much. I told
myself that it would come to me, not to worry. So here I am, writing again. I
refuse to talk only about my OCD. I have different dreams and interests so I
will share them with all of you! My mind is a mess, with or without OCD, I’m still searching for my dream work, I want to travel around the world, I want to
create things and I am taking you with me! If you, the person reading this,
struggles as I used to (I still do from time to time!), be aware that there is
a way to do everything you want to and dream of. OCD is not a life sentence,
just keep trying, learning and love yourself! If you want to share your story,
please do not hesitate to write to me!
