I want you to look back to this time last year.
Think about how much progress you've made.
Things may not be perfect, but they are a lot better than they were.
Use that as motivation, to show you can and will get better.
It doesn't matter how slowly you move forward; just that you keep moving in the right direction.

If you could look into the mind of an OCD sufferer, what would you see?
You would see bravery and fear fighting it out.
One side of the mind trying to reason with the other.
If you tell us to get on with it, it's because you don't see the amount of strength and determination that it takes to overcome a mental illness.

In life sometimes you meet someone so special, they turn your life upside down.
Keep that person close, as a person like that may never come into your life again.
Treat them special, don't take them for granted and cherish every moment with them.
No one knows what life holds, don't regret not taking a chance.
When you think about that person with every waking thought, you can't let it slip.
Those kind of feelings are what make life worth living and there is nothing in the world that can make you feel more special
Those feelings and emotions are worth risking it all for.

Some people may abuse your trust and make you doubt love, but there are more people out there who will show you how special you are.
They will show you love and prove just how valuable an emotion it is.
Embrace it and give it a chance, as there is no feeling which can have a more profound impact on your life.

Has anybody ever asked you, how can you be tired?
You haven't done anything.
Well imagine your mind beating itself up all day.
Doing constant routine after routine, wondering if you're going crazy.
Fearing you may not make it through the day.
Stress and anxiety tightening up your muscles, making it hard to breathe.
Feeling like you've run many miles.
No day is easy for a person with a mental illness.
We have to fight to get through each and every day.
I just wish more people would take that into consideration before opening their mouth.

Anxiety is like going to war. Only the enemy you face, is staring back at you in the mirror.
