Hoping to wake up one day without OCD. That's not going to happen, so each day I keep putting one foot in front of the other. I'm kind, gentle and patient. I Love animals, especially my little boy (cat) whose name is Nelson. He is the other thing that can make me smile.
"You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose."
- Dr. Seuss
LIKES
Freedom, My Country, Family, Friends, My Cat, Ellen, Oprah, Dr. Phil, NYPD Blue(Dennis Franz), Law & Order.
During my deepest depression episodes, Ellen Degeneres is the only one who can make me laugh. And believe me, I grab the laughter when I can, because it is far and few these days.
DISLIKES
Mental Illness, Cruel, Hurtful & Unkind People. The Stigma of OCD & Depression.
"Stigma...a mark of disgrace or infamy; a stain or reproach, as on one's reputation"
As if OCD wasn't punishment enough, we are made to feel ashamed of ourselves and flawed.
