It's so hard to manage.  I'm sick of having anxiety.  I want it

Take the time to process the pattern, how it connects.

Sometimes, those little steps begin the healing of making it work for you both in anxiety and in living in the moment.

It's so hard to know what a normal life is. It sounds like the therapy and medication has been helpful for the anxiety and that the OCD that brings you the greatest challenge. Are you impacted by repetitive thoughts or repetitive actions? What kinds of things has your therapist suggested that might be helpful? Do you do any journaling? There are also some helpful apps, such as "Calm" and "Abide".

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
