Hi everyone, I am feeling so down i am tearing up today, and maybe a few days ago too, i really need some guidance through my problems and some kind words... i am suffering with ocd and i like my clothes clean when i wash them i don't want anyone touching them. But i have recently washed them for about 3 times, because my mother keeps touching them and getting them out of the washing machine into not clean tray, she knows that i don't like anyone touching my clothes and it is not personal, she keeps challenging me by touching them all the time and spreading them on dirty surfaces and rearranging them and putting the dirty kitchen towel near them and more things that i can't understand. When i tell her please let me do my laundry on my own she lashes out and says, i am the cleanest person and what not. Now i am about to wash them again... i am just tired, what should i do?

I know we are each greeted every morning with our own respective struggles of various kinds, but let's try and move forward--step-by-step--through this first Monday of August with some sense of lightness, some sense of hope, and perhaps even some sense of humor, if at all possible 😉... May we each find many moments of sweetness, kindness, gentleness, understanding, compassion and beauty as we move along through this day🌹 Just want to add that I am grateful that, so far, I seem to have more energy than I did yesterday (when I stayed indoors all day, and spent most of the day lying down under the covers). Was delighted that I could cook up and enjoy this delicious mushroom omelet not long ago... Ok, I am still hungry, so I had better go slice a bagel soon! Best wishes to everyone here on Bezzy for a marvelous Monday 😇 🕊 🐬

So, my doctor kept throwing around the term 'IBS' when I saw her last week. She offered a med for it, but I wanted to research a little. Turns out IBS isn't really like a DISEASE, in the pathological sense, but a grouping of symptoms that can fuck up your guts. They don't really know what causes it, but there was a lot of mentioning that elevated stress can exacerbate the condition. I feel like I'm talking to a wall. I've been telling every doctor from the start that my symptoms.my be stress related. But not ONE of them suggested any sort of stress relief techniques or calming drugs. I guess I'm going to live with physical pain now... like emotional & mental anguish wasn't enough...
