Over the past few weeks & months so many things have changed in my life. We have had a family member staying in our spare room for some time now and although they will be moving out in the next few weeks it’s hard having that extra person. I’m pregnant, which in itself is a …

It’s been a while…
Hasn’t it just?! I’m going to be honest, I’m not in a great place right now. I’m in my third trimester of pregnancy and a time that should be filled with joy and love are just filling me with dread right now. I feel awful because I’m not giving my best self to H, I’m …
CBT Week 5
I’m so bad at keeping on top of this writing, I write everything down in my notebook but am so bad at getting round to typing things up!! So this is from my fifth session which was actually a few weeks ago now! This weeks session was 2 weeks after my last session as I …
CBT Week 4
I’m writing this over a week after my actual session so it’s not going to be the best. I always mean to write about each session right after they’ve happened and so far I’ve been pretty good at doing this but I’ve had such a busy week I just kept forgetting! We started off again …
CBT Week 3
Week 3 was last weeks session which I have written about in my notebook so it’s not me tackling it from a week ago! After each session I like to write down what we spoke about, what we decided and how I felt it went. I feel like it really helps me to make sense …

Reassurance
Reassurance is a big big part of my OCD. I constantly seek reassurance mainly from my husband. That he is ok, my son is ok, I’m doing ok, that I’m loved, that he finds me attractive, that others like me, the list goes on and on. It’s exhausting for me & it’s exhausting for him. …
Setbacks & fresh starts
This past week has been a rollercoaster. From recognising how much I’ve been relying on reassurance to get me through each day to losing someone in my extended family at a very young age & very suddenly it’s been hard. I will not let this become me. I’ve decided that I started the week really …
