I so appreciate these wonderful, kind ocd warriors and encourages to those of us struggling with it. I appreciate the humor so much. Their joy is contagious and mentorship invaluable.
Yes...It is interesting how we can find comfort in the shame. I find that if not feeling the shame, I feel I have less power over the OCD. There is reassurance in the feeling of shame. Addiction runs in my family. I have been careful to avoid those familial snares, but it's like my brain found it's own thing to be addicted to...anxiety and shame🤔
unfortunately some us of have to go through the pain that is being misdiagnosed, taking medications that do not help, being sent from treatment center to treatment center, pastor to pastor because (unknowingly) intrusive thoughts begin to consume themselves in something much more dangerous but yet seem apparent. Such as an addiction, or self harming/destructing behaviors because the OCD has a way of making itself seen even through another other demon. It's so rare to find providers that can see past another addiction or mental illness which then truly does affect your health. I say "some of us" referring to my own experience.

I am finding these videos very helpful and I appreciate you doing them.
Thank you, thank you for doing these webinars. I am wondering if you could do one on on minority issues and OCD? Or perhaps just invite more POC?
