As I have been examining my inner thoughts and my anxiety over the last few weeks, I am learning more and more about myself. I have been researching OCD more and coming to understand that it is something that I have struggled with for as long as I can remember. The more I read, the more things click into place. There have been many times where I have had a particular thought stuck in my head, over and over, and it takes days for it to go away. As I have grown older, I have been able to control those thoughts, but it is interesting to finally begin to understand where I have come from.
It feels good to be able to understand myself and learn to love myself for all I am. 🙂

Always good to spend time with myself not by myself. Also a process of Mindfulness. Then with some clarity to write my thoughts down.

It’s great when you get a nice dose of clarity 🙂
I did a lot of research on OCD a while ago, I was writing an essay on hoarding. It was the same kind of thing – the more I read, the more things clicked in to place. (I wouldn’t consider myself to have OCD, just some tendencies that relate to it.) If I hadn’t put all that effort into understanding it, and myself, I don’t think I’d have those tendencies under control as much as I do now.
It’s definitely beneficial to take some time out and learn about yourself now and again!
