OCD creates paralyzing doubt and fear and you seek constant reassurance from others! Ive realized that I have so many trust issues because I don't trust myself. My journey is to learn to trust myself and be ok with who I am! Your post made this crystal clear!

I'm thankful that you have taken the time to put these thoughts out here and I have no doubt that they will be of great help to many people.<BR/><BR/>Since you've been wonderful about sharing, here are a few observations I made in my journey:<BR/><BR/>1. When your spirit is "a dim light among the shadows" is when you're in the most danger of meeting and staying around others who have lost their inner light. Some of these people are lost in an honest, painful way. Some of them are vampires who feed off of destroying what little light you still had shining. <BR/><BR/>2a. It is possible to rid your life of vampires (just be prepared for a ratcheting up of the rhetoric that 'you'll be back', 'that you're just like them', that 'you need them', etc).<BR/>2b. It is sometimes necessary to say farewell to those who are lost. Yes, they need help. Can you really give it, though, if you're still trying to build your self? I don't know. All I know is that I wasn't strong enough to do any more than claw my own way back to the light. There are people much stronger than me, though, and maybe they can carry someone out with them. I hope so.<BR/>2c. It is possible to seek out and connect with people who have a strong sense of self.<BR/><BR/>3. There will be crappy days! Days when you'll catch yourself falling back into whatever mode typified the original crisis. In my case, a large component to sustaining a strong sense of self is being able to recognize the situations, people and thoughts that can trigger a setback. Finding ways to counteract these triggers is not always easy, but it can be done.<BR/><BR/>- ErzsebetAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
