The Consolation

OCD, Poem, Rumination 1 Minute

At least, I find consolation,
In the knowledge that I might be helping,

Others, out there,
Struggling with OCD and rumination.

I write poems which are mental health-themed, creative or humourous :). Within mental health I write a lot about: ADHD, OCD, anxiety, autism, emotional traumaβ€” usually with an optimistic slant. My goals for my blog are to give myself a therapeutic, creative outlet whilst also being able to connect with and relate to other people.

      1. If I can’t do something about a thing currently, I try to schedule when I can. And if that isn’t possible I usually will try to go for a walk or swim laps. Using the 1 week or 1 year rule helps too. Like… will I remember this next week? Next year? If not, it’s probably not worth my energy.

      2. Thanks! The 1 week or 1 year rule is helpful! I was using it yesterday πŸ™‚. I’ll keep using it.

        I am working on getting back to doing pressups and stretches, and then swimming again. I should push for that :). Thanks.
