Thank you for sharing your story with mental illness and also that road that led you to health. Your explanation of what OCD was, was especially helpful. Your statement about always loving everyone else, but not yourself is all too familiar. I discovered that too as a young woman. It was a revelation. How could I love everyone but myself! That's when I thought, what if my own daughter grows up to feel this way, what would I say to her? That's when I learned to Mother myself, and we've had a wonderful relationship ever since.
This is such a wonderful thing. As people say if we cannot take care of ourselves how will we take care of others. Beautiful Deborah and thanks for reading my piece.
