But I just want someone who is active and she is really overweight.. I love her or at least thought so.. she really loves me and treats me well. This sucks so much

I have a question about OCD. Is it possible/a thing to "consciously" plan to do something bad, while _subconsciously_ you don't plan to actually do it? Like, *_in the moment,_* "I will now hit this person". YET, your subconscious and true morals prevents you?

I visited that blog in 2013. I was 20 and had just left my family home to move to Ireland to the guy I loved. Fast forward, we are still together. I almost left him so many times because my anxiety was so extreme. I sometimes still visit it. I sometimes doubt everything. The best thing I learned back then was the term “when fear is in the drivers seat” - sometimes you think it’s always in the driver seat but it isn’t and those are the moments you have to hold on to. Fear will never fully leave me, and that’s okay. I can live with her. but it’s important to remind myself that it is always just temporary. It comes and goes. Thank you so much for all you’ve done to me, a total stranger, who was able to choose love ❤

Hello! My name is Edwin Cross. That is pronounced as Ed-Wina. As opposed to Edweena, the way everyone pronounces it. My father is Edwin and my brother is Edwin. I am here today to let you know that I have had a group on FaceBook for five years titled "Gathering Gold." It came from one of my poems. I am picking up your posts, which I do now think you must be aware of. Actually, I'm fascinated with your subject. I. I have studied both Campbell and Jungd and I think you are quite right in our isolation. Somewhere on the internet, my very beginning of this idea is titled "Dances with Archetypes." And the roots and ground of our being, going into the trees . . . I own the copyright on the title "Dryad Dance, " and trees are very very, important to me. I have a lot of people who think "Dryad" is my name. It is what is on the license plate of my car. Absolutely Magic. You know? It can't ever be wrapped it. Humans can't be wrapped up and neither can trees. I quite love what you are saying. I am not sure how you can BEING WITH THIS, it seems so advanced. I hope I can find more. I did want to tell you, that we are ending up on each other;s pages, at least you are ending up on mine. Oh yes! I am a poet, a teacher, and a minor artist. Thank you.

I'm not sure me worrying about becoming a pedo or stabbing someone or driving my kids off a cliff has to do with me not feeling like I'm enough... Dangerous to tag this OCD, I met a girl in group therapy that believed if she didn't wash her hands enough she would infect her entire school and be responsible for mass deaths, she would wash her hands to bleeding, you're response would be you are enough... Dangerous to tag this with OCD

I was literally bawling my eyes out and thinking of ending things. I couldn’t find any red flags or character flaws and I don’t have any qualms with him. He treats me so beautifully and addresses my every concern and need. So I just thought to myself that he’s not super built or macho, even though that’s a dumb reason. I don’t know why I feel like this. My wedding is in July.

I got engaged at age 27 by my ex who was 26 but then he broke it off 3 months later and moved his things out. We were together for 4 years and it hurt me. 2 months later, I started dating someone else. I’m about to be 28 and he’s 25. I think he someday wants to marry me but I’m not sure. I just want a man that wants to commit to me. Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day and instead of a card, I’m going to give him a list of my 10 boundaries. I want a man who knows what he wants in life and makes me a part of it.

Thanks for sharing this short in your email! I felt an intuitive pull to watch it, and I resonate so much with this. The inner teenager lens is helpful! I was cracking up at the food preparation part, I resonate with that (my body also requires/enjoys a lot of food) and it was nice to bring lightness and a new lens to it.

Thank you for this video Sheryl. I feel it connects to my wisdom and it resonates. Not long ago I was triggered by a video on KZbin where someone said that women only search for attractive partners so they can procreate and have beautiful babies, meaning that they would not choose an "ugly" person to be with because following nature it would not make sense to have less beautiful babies. This message felt so wrong and still it triggered me a lot.

Thank you Sheryl! In one of your podcasts you mention a Jewish prayer you say in the am/pm.. can you share what that is? or what it translates to? im looking for something to say to myself in the morning to break the morning anxiety. thank you 😊

I love your podcast and insights. This episode was hard for me to relate to b/c it seemed a lot of your anxiety was in regards to low probability risk events and the self-talk was about how likely it’d turn out well and relief after, long build up and quick release of anxiety into relief. My anricipatory anxiety is more with higher risk or events linked to past trauma. For example last MRI/CT led to chemo/surgery/radiation/pain/etc, so it was a short lead up of an event and the event led to years of negative experiences. So every MRI now I dread for weeks. I have surgeries that have 50% likelihood of not working and 55% likely that I will not survive, and doctors have made mistakes that have cost me body parts (they apologized for it and everyone makes mistakes, even great docs) so I feel like I can’t reassure myself the same way as for a one hour dental appointment that turns out well. I was wondering if you could speak to what you would do for anticipatory anxiety for events that are more likely to have a bad outcome than good. (I have another surgery this Friday, very scared). Thanks for reading ❤

I'm so sorry for what you're going through. I know I'm not Sheryl but I couldn't bare to leave your comment hanging. Your question is so valid and you're right, their episode focused entirely on 'the light stuff' and bettering our quality of life by better navigating that 'mildly turbulent territory, which must have left you feeling unseen. But I hope that you managed to find some solace somewhere else. And I hope your surgery went ok.

We need to adapt and evolve. You get to meet enough, when you’re died. Intrusive thoughts are habits that we wish to express, yet it is up to the individual to pioneer it to be driving factor to change. The only person that can care about your thoughts is you.
