It's good you've learnt to ignore them. But, what bullies say to hurt you isn't the truth. They conjure the most disgusting lies and attack you with them to hurt you. So don't believe what they say. Distance yourself away from them and surround yourself around the things and people that make YOU happy.
It feels better now that theyve backed off a bit. Made one of them look like an idiot today (he tried do it to me but it backfired haha)!
I suppose it isnt. They come up with some utter ********!
Yeah that sounds accurate, it sucks but its true!
Im doing my best to distamce myself but they come to me! So annoying!
I shall do my best to do that!
Thankyou!

True. I tried to shrug it off and carry on with my day. did anyone have this thing for example if your left hand tapped something twice you would have to do the same thing to your right?

While the situation hasn't become amazing, I'm glad it is improving and with your determination and strength, you can allow yourself to become a better person than those bullies ever will be, telling someone is the best advice you can give to someone who is experiencing bullying, never keep it bottled up.
you can get through anything!

Wow, I'd never know just how brutal OCD could be. I had some kind of idea, but had never really been able to really understand it as much.
This blog of yours is a great idea, and you're so brave to open up about it online! You're helping to raise awareness about issues that I, as well as many others, have been blind to.
I'd love to read more about this, can you tag me in the next one, please?

I think you're doing a great thing by diligently writing out your first hand experience with an issue many of us tend to take lightly. So, if it helps you, then do continue this. Thank you. (^.^;

Hey, Thankyou for reading!
OCD is not a nice thing at all!
Ah ok, it's good that you knew a bit about it beforehand (most people don't).
I'm glad your understanding has increased now! That means a lot to me!
Aww Thankyou! I really appreciate that!
Aw thanks! It wasn't easy to start with but its all ok now!
That was my inspiration for starting the blog tbh. I'm glad it's working!
I will tag you but I'm not sure if I'm gonna carry it on anymore tbh.
But if I do I will tag you!

Aw Thankyou!
I really appreciate you saying that! I just wanted to raise awareness for mental illnesses tbh. That's why I started the blog.
I'm not too sure if it helps me anymore though. I'm losing motivation tbh,
No worries!
I just don't feel it's any good anymore tbh.
Thanks for the follow btw!
I shall return the favour!

I wish I could raise awareness too, but I'm afraid people don't take me seriously .-.
there's definitely a need for it, since mental illnesses are not as visible as physical illnesses - and are therefore not taken as seriously, whereas physical illness is more likely to be sympathised with.
Do whatever makes you feel at ease. Thanks for returning the favour. <3

I'm sure you can raise awareness somehow! I take you seriously!
That's very true, very true indeed.
They should be taken seriously because they are serious conditions which alter people's lives!
Idk tbh, I've run out of things to talk about anyway. Plus I think everyone's bored of it.
No worries!
Living Life On The Edge: My daily routine has changed
Hey all!
Today's post shall be about a formidable force called OCD.
Now as you know I have OCD and have talked about my experiences. So what else could I possible say you ask.
Well I'll tell you!
OCD can do many things to you. But the main thing it does, is change your daily life. Now I'm sure no one is surprised to hear that, but I'm going to explain (or at least try to) how it does that!
OCD makes you do things which you know are completely irrational but you have to do them in order to feel relief from the symptoms!For example:
Now I know this doesn't sound like a big deal, but trust me (and I'm sure others can relate), it's the most annoying thing ever! You just want to leave and do something else, but OCD is like 'nope! You're staying here until I say so' Once you feel relief, you just sigh and walk away and do something fun! You do something fun because you get upset from the fact that you've just spent ages doing something you know wasn't necessary (even though it kind of was).
Having OCD changes your daily routine completely. You just end up avoiding the stuff that triggers it. Therefore you can end up staying in the house all the time if you fear of getting contaminated by something (like me). You just want to try and make yourself as comfortable as possible! Sometimes this can be relatively easy, but most times it doesn't work out that way and something triggers you off anyway.
OCD also alters how you do things. You will be constantly aware of everything going on around you, just to make sure that your safe from being triggered. You always live in fear of the next time you get triggered (because it always happens again). You end up just avoiding doing anything so that you can be free from this monstrosity for however brief that time period is!It's extremely difficult and upsetting to live with because you just want to be able to do what you want, when you want to. But you can't because you're trapped by this menace!I still get tearful at times when I get really bad. It just feels like it will never end as it just keeps getting worse and worse and worse!
I wish none of you ever have to experience OCD!
OCD is one of those things that no matter how hard you try, you just can't shake it! It's a baddy that just never dies! It never loses its energy! It deserves to die!
If anyone wants to talk to me privately about any issues they are experiencing, I'm more than happy to try and help out!
I'm not sure if I've written that very well at all tbh.
I know that @Spock's Socks will be able to explain this better and I'd recommend checking out her blog for more info on OCD.
As always thanks for reading!
I appreciate all of the comments you guys leave!
I love reading them (let's me know I'm doing ok) and keeps my motivation up!
I will always do my best to respond too!
Hope you're all well!
Thankyou!
Bye for now!
