I want to be honest on my blog, but I feel like this year has been so difficult that I sound negative, and I want this to be a place of hope.
To be clear, I DO have hope. Lots of it.
But there’s also been a lot of darkness this year.
Today is a day when I’d love to write a post called “Raw.”
Instead I’m writing one called “Balance.”
Any ideas?

I’ve seen a lot of comments from others when it comes to asking for your help on OCD. Is it normal to feel better and then all of a sudden you see something that triggers you and you all of a sudden feel completely terrible? Like I could manage the thoughts, they made me uncomfortable but I could think of having a boyfriend and be happy, now I just feel terribly anxious, and I’ve gotten the courage to leave the house and hang with friends again; now it’s like that’s all out the window!
