Your comment, "I wonder if I’m worth all this fuss," made me think, probably depression and OCD get together to cause us this trouble. Low self-esteem combined with OCD doubt, what a great combination. It seems funny to me in the end, after recognizing all the uncertainty OCD is careful to find, to go back to trusting my gut instinct, trusting how I feel. But it sure seems like it is often the correct answer.Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12051102407708751849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831964660986535542.post-63167673019937555212013-05-14T16:09:06.593-04:002013-05-14T16:09:06.593-04:00Thanks, Debbie.

I didn't have anything to do with it and was just happy for help and a ride. One of my co-workers later made fun of me for taking it. Geez, I just couldn't believe someone would be so rude.

Pain is really so subjective so that makes it even more confusing and complicated, I think. Once again, I'm reminded that what your OCD makes you think isn't really different than what a lot of people without the disorder would think.....it's just that the thoughts and feelings that come with it are more intense for those with OCD.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
