Academic Hoops and Hoop-la: Reasons NOT to Pursue Graduate Work – Living the Story
https://poetspilgrimage.wordpress.com/2015/07/22/academic-hoops-and-hoop-la-reasons-not-to-pursue-graduate-work
My journey with OCD. Not Crazy: Learn about OCD. Academic Hoops and Hoop-la: Reasons NOT to Pursue Graduate Work. July 22, 2015. Because nothing says PhD like a beard and a mortarboard tassel. When I tell people that I’m getting a doctorate in English, I never know what kind of reaction I’ll get. Sometimes the word “PhD” dazzles, and they nod with widened eyes, impressed at my obvious genius – only super smart people get doctorates, right? 8221; is the most common question I get). Had to start working ha...

My journey with OCD. Not Crazy: Learn about OCD. August 6, 2015. Hey there, folks. Michael and I are back in Alabama for a super special wedding this weekend: my partner in crime, my favorite (okay, only) brother is getting married, and we’re here to celebrate him and his wonderful wife. The next few days will be full of joy and festivities, but it will be kinda quiet around this little blog. Jim and me, circa Christmas mid-90s. Wait, you never would’ve guessed that.

My journey with OCD. Not Crazy: Learn about OCD. Academic Hoops and Hoop-la: How I Make the Big Bucks. August 4, 2015. August 30, 2016. This is Part 3 of a short series I’m doing on graduate school.

If you’re not so interested, thanks for bearing with me – we’ll be back to regular programming soon). The first rule of graduate school is: you do not pay for graduate school. Depending on...

The Beat OCD Blog: Top Priorities? Not Quite Sure
http://beatocd.blogspot.com/2015/02/top-priorities-not-quite-sure.html
The Beat OCD Blog. Overcoming OCD One Exposure at a Time. Sunday, February 22, 2015. I was out on a walk the other day, and I decided that I should stop everything (not literally! Do I just give up on ever enjoying the rest of my life? I sure hope not. My new job is going really well. The other day I realized I was looking forward to work on Tuesday. I cannot remember the last time that was true. So it's pretty exciting. I can even imagine finding an additional "super part time" job on to...I want to sel...

The Beat OCD Blog: June 2014
http://beatocd.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
The Beat OCD Blog. Overcoming OCD One Exposure at a Time. Monday, June 9, 2014. Working on some tricky stuff. Well, I remain in the "final stages" of getting the house ready. I guess it's a long final stage, ha! I have talked to several real estate agents now, so I'm moving along. The house is mostly empty, but I still need to clean up the garden, and clean clean clean the house itself. That includes 14 windows on the main floor, each of which has a storm window. Hooray!

The Beat OCD Blog: Book Review: Daring to Challenge OCD by Joan Davidson
http://beatocd.blogspot.com/2015/03/book-review-daring-to-challenge-ocd-by.html
The Beat OCD Blog. Overcoming OCD One Exposure at a Time. Saturday, March 14, 2015. Book Review: Daring to Challenge OCD by Joan Davidson. Last summer, New Harbinger Publications sent me a copy of Daring to Challenge OCD. What if something bad does. I really like a number of things about this book:. It has three "real" examples of people who went through ERP. The book follows all three throughout. I really appreciate when authors do this, as it seems more relatable/doable to me that way. I'm Ann, a 43 ye...

Don't Believe Everything You Think: Sometimes It All Just Gets To Me
http://kinderbrainlives.blogspot.com/2010/09/sometimes-it-all-just-gets-to-me.html
Don't Believe Everything You Think. Wednesday, September 29, 2010. Sometimes It All Just Gets To Me. And then the OCD hit. I just KNOW, it is because of the fear that I am in about my kids and my utter lack of control about their irrational dad. It is almost like a genie that pops the cork out of the bottle and goes a little nuts casting spells on me. September 29, 2010 at 10:21 PM.

Don't Believe Everything You Think: Living In The Gift
http://kinderbrainlives.blogspot.com/2010/10/living-in-gift.html
Don't Believe Everything You Think. Wednesday, October 13, 2010. Living In The Gift. Here's the gift, the fruits of doggedly trudging my cobblestoned paths of recovery. I told myself. For someone like me, with a history of years of ferocious hypochondriasis and an intense fear of death, it shocks me that this is my reaction. I think I may make it through this med change. October 13, 2010 at 7:13 PM. Thank you for this inspiring post! Good for you for sticking it out! October 14, 2010 at 7:30 AM. I'm a mo...

Don't Believe Everything You Think: Medication Journey
http://kinderbrainlives.blogspot.com/p/medication-journey.html
Don't Believe Everything You Think. For Parents of Children with Mental Illness:. My childhood was shaped by my fear, anxiety, panic, and OCD. It was extremely difficult. I knew I didn't think right, and I always felt like a freak. I was full of shame and secrets. If I could have lessened the pain, and experienced some easier thinking through medication, I would have had a different life. Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitors. Citalopram (Celexa) 20 mg (down from 30 on 9/28/10). Brain Blogs I Follow.
