The OCD Experience: March 2012
http://experiencingocd.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Friday, 9 March 2012. A two-month summary of my absence. Well, here I am again. It has been a couple of months since I last posted a blog entry and I feel that it is time to reapply words to describe my experiences with obsessive compulsive disorder. But, firstly, I should perhaps explain a little of why I have been absent for so long. My main reason for not writing though has been this. Shortly after I last posted back in January. Basically my new start to the new year wasn't going as planned. But, givi...

The OCD Experience: Mental health and the media
http://experiencingocd.blogspot.com/2011/12/mental-health-and-media.html
Saturday, 17 December 2011. Mental health and the media. The topic of the media and its impact on mental health sufferers has been in the forefront of my mind for some time now and I thought it would follow on nicely from my previous post. About OCD and hypochondria. As a sufferer of OCD and hypochondria those thoughts that were once so enjoyed have taken on a life of their own that I now find hard, at one point almost impossible, to escape from when I need to find respite in human company and interaction.

The OCD Experience: Annus horribilis - A retrospective look at 2011
http://experiencingocd.blogspot.com/2012/01/annus-horribilis-retrospective-look-at.html
Sunday, 8 January 2012. Annus horribilis - A retrospective look at 2011. I write from a personal point of view as this is after all a personal blog, and from my personal point of view 2011 was not a year that I will remember fondly. As a consequence of these emotions I could quite easily wipe the entire year's existence from my memory. And I would have no regrets at all. But hindsight is a wonderful thing, they say, and now, as I look back with a sense of detachment, I can see some examples of wonder.

Monday, 28 November 2011. Hypochondria, OCD and me. My struggles with obsessive compulsive disorder have confused me recently. I have struggled with OCD thoughts and behaviours for many years and have defined my actions to be a direct result of this. However, for the past 8 months or so, new and intense feelings have overcome me that I presumed to be resulting from my OCD. I believe that I may have been wrong in making that assumption. I stumbled across an article about hypochondria and was surprised tha...

The OCD Experience: October 2011
http://experiencingocd.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, 23 October 2011. OCD self-help technique - Part 2. This post continues from part 1 and explains the final two parts of Dr. Jeffrey Schwartz's obsessive compulsive disorder four-step self-help technique. I recommend reading my introduction first, found here. Followed by part 1. Before reading this final instalment. After you perform steps 1 (Relabel) and 2 (Reattribute), think of a new activity that you could carry out and occupy yourself with it immediately (or as soon as possible). This shou...

The OCD Experience: A short blog post
http://experiencingocd.blogspot.com/2011/12/short-blog-post.html
Saturday, 10 December 2011. A short blog post. I thought I would write a short blog entry as I haven't had the time recently to write a full update on my OCD experiences. Since my last post on the 28th of November things have been relatively smooth, minus the odd pebble on the tarmac here and there, where I have had to focus my efforts a little harder to overcome the OCD obstacles. Perhaps it is to do with Christmas and the thoughts and preparations associated with its rapid progression towards us. PS Iv...

Fighting For My Free Spirit: My happy yellow room.
http://fightingformyfreespirit.blogspot.com/2010/10/my-happy-yellow-room.html
View my complete profile. My happy yellow room. Monday, October 4, 2010. My happy yellow room. It's been a long time! I've missed you, dear blog! I was reminded today that it's been exactly two months since I've written on my blog.yikes! Trying to pick something to write about seems a little overwhelming because if my mouth was speaking all that my mind is thinking, I'd have a severe case of diarrhea. Of the mouth or word vomiting. Sigh It's literally one of my favorite things to. I felt cozy and happy.
