Hi everyone.
I'm having an interesting week.As I keep making progress almost every day,I'm loving it.Its such a surprise to be able to do something that ocd stopped me doing.This has been like this almost every day since May of 2012.I never know what progress I'm going to make until I'm making it at that very moment.Its a real surprise.Many times I'll say "Oooh,I just did that!"(sometimes I might use the odd expletive deletive).
Today is another one of those days making progress.OCD stops me eating on my own,cooking on my own.Today I ate a lot of food whilst on my own and some of it I cooked in my oven at home here.I still had a carer drop in for about 5 minutes so I could eat the last part of the meal.Just loving the idea that my usual delivered cooked meal would be reheated.Well,it was but I cooked fresh chicken today in another container whilst the other food was reheated at the same time.
This is a series of events that got me to this point.I had to clean out my fridge/freezer about a month ago.That was like full for 6 years due to ocd.I threw that food out a month ago.Then,I cleaned out the fridge with a mixture of vinegar,bicarb of soda,vanilla essence,a drop of sugar soap and water.I soaked the fridge with that mixture,left it for a few hours,twice and then cleaned it.After,I put lemons and onions in there for a few days.Its held food and drinks since.My mother is my usual carer who recently had health problems of her own and the last 2 months I've been visited by volunteers who provide that social/carer visit.
In about 17 hours is supposed to be my next treatment(non medical) and usually the next day I start making new progress.I get one out of bed some mornings and I'm doing things before both feet hit the floor.Weird,huh?
I just wanted to share some good news.
Have a Merry Christmas everyone.Please dont be alone on christmas day.I'll be here.
