My life with depression and anxiety. Following My Dreams – “I Don’t Want To Be A Failure Anymore! Posted in Near Life Experiences. The Good, The Bad and The Crazy. After spending the last couple of months in a consistent downward spiral of health problems, anxiety and depression I finally decided that I’ve had enough. Along with some actual diagnosable ones… like an aneurysm (yeah I know… fml). For the last year I’d been trapped in something that wasn’t making me happy. I didn’t rea...It was the only int...

The Mess that is My Life: Self-Harm and the Words That Made Me Want to Stop
http://misssrobin.blogspot.com/2015/03/self-harm-and-words-that-made-me-want.html
The Mess that is My Life. Where's my therapist when I need him? What's Wrong with Me. Thursday, March 19, 2015. Self-Harm and the Words That Made Me Want to Stop. This post contains material that could potentially be triggering for anyone with a history of self-harm. Please do not continue if you aren't safe right now.* *. I purposely and knowingly hurt myself for the first time. There is no way for someone like me to explain this to someone like you if you haven't been there. Last October (2014) I burne...

My life with depression and anxiety. Posted in Near Life Experiences. The Good, The Bad and The Crazy. Moving on sometimes involves literally moving somewhere…in my case, to my old home town. I found a beautiful flat right in the town center. It’s not too big and not to small and it was important for me that it had two rooms, not just one….because I hate people sitting on my bed when they visit me, or everything smelling of food when I cook something. For the last two weeks I have been so busy and even t...

Raging Against Emotions – The OCD Chronicles
https://ocdjourney.wordpress.com/2014/03/21/raging-against-emotions
My Journey to Sanity. March 21, 2014. Three days ago, I got some of the best news of my life: my first publication acceptance. It’s something I’ve worked so hard for, and it’s so so so exciting. I’m finally about to be a published writer. A literary journal that I really love picked up one of my short stories. It’s a dream come true, and it made me overwhelmingly happy. So then why did I end the day crying yesterday? What do I have to feel bad about? I’m still mad at myself about it. And I really donR...

A Renewed Sense of Freedom – The OCD Chronicles
https://ocdjourney.wordpress.com/2014/03/03/a-renewed-sense-of-freedom
My Journey to Sanity. A Renewed Sense of Freedom. March 3, 2014. March 7, 2014. I miss you guys! Wednesday, February 26. One year ago, I traveled to a writing conference and, for the first time in years, didn’t have anxiety about staying in a hotel. I hadn’t done that since I was a kid. It was exhilarating. Another feat I still can’t believe sometimes. So my hands are, by my standards, filthy. But I’m okay. 5 thoughts on “ A Renewed Sense of Freedom. March 4, 2014 at 6:10 pm. March 5, 2014 at 1:13 pm.

Backsliding – The OCD Chronicles
https://ocdjourney.wordpress.com/2014/04/08/backsliding
My Journey to Sanity. April 8, 2014. I’ve been having such a difficult time lately with depression. Therapy is so hard. But I’ve been holding on to all the progress I made in OCD therapy, and that helps me keep working on depression stuff in therapy. I keep remind myself that I got better, that I got control of OCD. I can do this. I know I can. This is so little compared to what I overcame before. So little. But I’m still scared. Automatic Thoughts and Core Beliefs. 14 thoughts on “ Backsliding. And you ...

Just Depression – The OCD Chronicles
https://ocdjourney.wordpress.com/2013/08/21/depression
My Journey to Sanity. August 21, 2013. August 21, 2013. Every time it crept closer and tried to get a foothold, I refused to let it, and I was always really proud of myself for that. There was so much I couldn’t control OCD, the constant physical pain, etc. and being able to control depression felt really good. I sat in that place for a few months, but eventually made my way out of the hole. In the meantime, OCD and anxiety were becoming increasingly easier to deal with. And when I realized IR...But I...

A (Slightly) Different Kind of Crazy – The OCD Chronicles
https://ocdjourney.wordpress.com/2013/07/16/a-slightly-different-kind-of-crazy
My Journey to Sanity. A (Slightly) Different Kind of Crazy. July 16, 2013. July 16, 2013. The dermatillomania is about the same as a week ago. My fingers are torn up, and it’s embarrassing. I’m trying to resist but mostly keep failing. When my head is clear, I can stop myself from being a moron more easily. But my mind fogs up when my emotions are being irrational. So I’ve been putting my foot in my mouth a LOT lately. I’m close to just not talking to anyone until I level out. So I guess OCD isn’t going ...
