Hi and welcome to my messy mind! It took me 10 years to finally step up and talk about this. I still do not feel brave enough to do it but even if I help one person, it will worth it. My name is Kristina and I have OCD with intrusive thoughts. Writing helps me relax, focus and keep my mind calmer. I really hope that my blog will be beneficial for others who struggle just like me. I do not have a medical degree so everything I am sharing is my personal experience and how I am dealing with it.

Left with a Broken Heart
Hey lovely people 💛
I’ve been away for a while — life just got a bit
too much. So many things happened all at once, and I simply didn’t have the
time or the energy to sit down and write.
I know what you’re thinking: “But writing is your
therapy!” And you’re absolutely right — it is. 100%.
But even therapy can feel impossible when you’re running on empty. I was
overwhelmed, trying to hold everything together, and so focused on my son that
I was just… surviving the day.
Maybe I sound a bit dramatic, but it really was a
tough period. I’m finally starting to breathe again, and it feels like the
storm is almost over.
So — what happened?
Veni decided to go back to university for a bachelor’s
degree. What we didn’t know was when he’d actually start. Work was
insane — we were managing tons of projects, launching our own, and even running
courses in the northwestern part of the country. Pressure was everywhere. And
on top of that, there’s the house and all the endless little things that come
with it.
Then, out of nowhere, on Thursday, October 2nd, he got
a call: lectures start on Monday.
We were not ready. I felt panic rising in me. He almost cancelled, but I
told him we’d figure it out.
He left on Sunday. And my world… just crashed.
I felt so vulnerable. My heart was racing, I couldn’t breathe properly, and it
honestly felt like a part of me was missing. I know it sounds crazy, but I
cried so much. I couldn’t believe how deeply I missed him.
Then my OCD kicked in — a whole bag of nasty thoughts
— and I ended up writing to my therapist. I was devastated.
And as if that wasn’t enough, Monday brought more bad
news: Veni had lectures every single day until October 26th.
We had hoped to see each other on weekends, but that wasn’t possible.
We hadn’t spent this much time apart in almost eight years.
So, I threw myself into work — way too much of it —
and into caring for our son, just to keep my mind busy and away from missing
him.
But honestly… how do you feel when your loved
one is away for a long time?
