It’s not about how much time you spent in taking care of yourself but how much love you earned in taking care of yourself.

Maddest Parts
I will always love the maddest parts of myself because it was in those versions of me that I found the healing in me. And I wonder what else I am hiding. And how deep and infinite I really am.
Recovery From OCD Rules (Effective September 30, 2017)
- There are no rules. This is a bar fight between my soul and my illness. Whatever it is that I need to do to deprive this doubtful beast of its food (compulsions) I will do.
- There are regulations, however. (see below)
- First, I will do frequent and consistent exposures. The pain coming from the anxiety will act as a sign that I am healing.
- Second, I will do recreational activities more such as bibliotherapy, writing therapy, film therapy, retail therapy, gaming therapy, etc. to reframe and refocus my mind on other things besides my obsessions.
- Third, I will not kill myself. I will try to innovate new tactics if I have to so that I can win this battle against this illness.
- Lastly, there will be no going back to old habits no matter how painful it would be. I need to heal somehow and recover before this year ends.

Dear Self,
I’m going to tell you a little secret: healing requires pain. That’s why when you’re feeling so anxious that’s when you know that you are healing through the innate human ability of adaptation. In simple terms: you’re going to get used to the anxiety that you’re feeling and move on with your life.
Because you eventually have to heal.
Because you eventually have to recover.
Because you eventually have to live.
Love always,
Self
