Hey:)
Welcome
Hi, I’m Kate, and I’m so glad you’re here. This site is dedicated to OCD and anxiety, along with the tools, insights, and resources that helped me take control of my life. I know what it feels like to struggle with intrusive thoughts and constant worry , but I’m proof that recovery is possible, and I want to help you find peace, too.
My Story
For many years, I battled OCD and anxiety, not fully understanding what was happening or why it had such a grip on my life. It was debilitating, and I often felt like I was missing out on the enjoyment of life, especially with my children. There were times I felt crazy, times I felt completely alone, and mostly, I felt desperate to get better.
The Struggle
I didn’t want to just accept that this was my life. Despite the fear and difficulty, I was determined that OCD wouldn’t control me. I spent hours, days, months, and years researching, talking to people, and trying every technique I could find. Many methods helped ease the symptoms, but there was only one clear thing I could do: stop believing a lie.
For every person suffering from OCD, the core struggle is the belief that our fears and thoughts will become reality. It sounds so simple when you put it in black and white, doesn’t it? But the truth is, it took a rational approach and a willingness to take a chance. I had to make a choice: I could continue believing everything my mind told me, or I could decide it was all a lie.
The Turning Point
OCD was incredibly debilitating, and it robbed me of many years of my life. If I had known earlier that I had a choice, that I could stop living in fear and stop obeying the distressing thoughts, I would have been free sooner. OCD will always be a part of me, but it’s just a small nuisance now, no longer controlling my life.
My Mission
When I started to find peace and happiness alongside my OCD, I couldn’t help but think of all the other people out there, the ones I had once connected with on forums, still desperately searching for answers and relief. I wanted to help.
Helping others find peace with OCD and anxiety has become my mission. Through this site, I share everything I’ve learned along the way the tips, insights, and resources that helped me on my journey, so you don’t have to feel as alone or hopeless as I once did.
