Very insightful.<br /><br />I'm very happy that you have a world to escape to....as in, your books.<br /><br />OCD is extremely tiring. I know...I've dealt with it for...um....20-ish years or so. But...there is HOPE in manageability. <br /><br />Among other things, I've found a HUGE amount of success from taking a simple supplement that helps bypass an extremely important and extremely common genetic variant. The genetic variant is called MTHFR. You can read a bit more about it on my blog...see if the symptoms strike you as familiar. (http://melaniesmethodicalmusings.blogspot.com/p/mthfr.html)<br /><br />Anyway...I've enjoyed reading. I'll be back soon.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03734177506438734993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8352200900659539534.post-48434538864438562402012-01-27T03:11:45.214+00:002012-01-27T03:11:45.214+00:00Maggie, So glad you're feeling better.

It's good he/she knows what's going on with us.<br /><br />And I'm glad you made the trip to the library. I love libraries. When I'm surrounded by books, I feel safe. Sounds silly, but books have always been my friends, a comfort to me. And my library growing up was a safe haven for me to explore and learn.Tina Fariss Barbourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15659018994558471570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8352200900659539534.post-59018318134013613192012-01-25T03:55:04.256+00:002012-01-25T03:55:04.256+00:00I noticed that i have high and low energy days, an...I noticed that i have high and low energy days, and over time realized that instead of fighting them, to take those low energy days and just read or relax as much as possible. That way, i could get rested without having to be sick to slow me down. Then on the high energy days i'd get my work done. That of course doesn't work as well if you have an out-of-home job where you must perform daily. It is OK, tho to not be 100% all day every day. We are humans, not robots and need downtime to rejuvinate ourselves. Especially since with ocd, our minds are constantly thinking, battling, pushing thru thots we don't want to have. This all takes up energy. <br /><br />I'm glad you enjoyed your next trip to the library! Going there after you felt good already was a great idea! This way your associations of the library are good ones and if ocd ever rears its ugly head there, you have a lot of good memories and experiences there already. (and you had some books to read during your resting day)Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17182813079850508907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8352200900659539534.post-18551177060252799262012-01-24T22:42:31.113+00:002012-01-24T22:42:31.113+00:00Zumba does kick butt, doesn't it?

I like doing Aqua Zumba much better than regular Zumba.<br /><br />I'm so glad your doctor is nice!<br /><br />You deserve a real treat after all you have done lately!Elizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18279501398388972542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8352200900659539534.post-11351953637951726432012-01-24T21:20:55.559+00:002012-01-24T21:20:55.559+00:00Thank you guys :)

Don't forget to recommend something my way.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16699581430199254616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8352200900659539534.post-72793891827880880352012-01-24T19:59:28.850+00:002012-01-24T19:59:28.850+00:00Congratulations!

Every time I've been afraid to tell my psychologist the truth about something, and I finally did it, I never ended up regretting it. I think any decent doctor understands how difficult it is to live with OCD and every day we're just doing the best we can to get through. I still have to make that trip to the library 'cause I said I would do it if you did it. Now it's my turn!71ยบ & Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09981113989131619635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8352200900659539534.post-49997253741047098352012-01-24T17:22:08.493+00:002012-01-24T17:22:08.493+00:00You really outdid yourself!
