      talk about it with us and maybe we can help but only share what you’re comfortable with of course. Try to use your words and express yourself and always ask for help when you need it.

    Keep thinking positive

      I hate that phrase bc people used to say to me all the time and it was toxic positivity the way they were doing it. But they were Christian’s of course so it was their thing. But I mean I still agree with it it’s just I feel sometimes it’s not good advice. I feel sometimes it is actually bad advice.

        You have to use it appropriately and wisely at the right time sparingly. Toxic positivity can do more harm than good. Sometimes people are at really dark places in their lives and it can just hit them the wrong way.

        agreed. It's ok to not think positively all the time. That's part of who we are as humans. Life sucks sometimes and a lot of people use that phrase as a backhanded "well things can be worse" attitude. It's good to be positive but when you're not in the right headspace for that, the comment can be condescending.

    Often the desire to give up is based on wanting the pain to stop. You can stop the pain in other ways. Giving up is not the solution.

      yes. Focusing on other things always helps me. It’s a positive distraction and can help get you out of your current situation and help resolve and solve problems.

      same. I deal with pure ocd with is basically a lively hell inside your brain. It’s the worst disease ever.

    I have a big spiral calendar to write my appointments and work schedule in. I go to an app work has to request time off for my appointments has soon as I can so I don’t have any conflicts. Or a least try. I don’t have much of a life so I try to keep my bedroom minimalist as I can.

    To keep track of my meds, I use the app called Medisafe. For my appointments, I use my calendar. I put the appt in as I’m making it. I’m also the keeper of my partner’s health stuffs!

    I’m horrible at tracking appointments, etc, but I’ve managed to take my meds by taking them when I feed my fish! She gets grumpy if she doesn’t eat at the right time every day, so it keeps me in check.

    It's highly likely I have ocpd & it's started to turn into ocd, so I'm very much a planner. I make lists. Lots of lists

  • yumzy199725

    It's exhausting remembering to take my inhalers and my heart meds definitely not organised 🙃

    Google calendar for appointments and events, reminders on my phone for meds (multiple reminders for both day and night meds), note pad for lists and quick notes. I would be lost without my phone.

  • Kadair

    I write appointments down on multiple calendars and I also add it to my Google calendar. My medication I put by my bed for my night meds and I put my morning meds by my chair in the livingroom. The places I go when either going to bed or after I wake up. That helps me to remember.

    Guys keep in mind too Google calendar AMF some note apps too I believe you can save on the cloud and access from computers @ any given time... if you lose your phone all you need is the internet. I have my laptop from school as a backup method or my daughters phone 🤣 😒 Ok I might be horrible for that but if mommy needs to use it or borrow it for a day or 2 guess what, mommy wins. Companies suck and my job and appointments are more important lol

    because a hallmark of one of my disorders is a poor memory and an inability to keep track of things I rely on others to help me manage my disorders
