Fear

“Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that
something else is more important than fear.”
― Meg Cabot

Don't Break. You are strong!

When an egg breaks from the inside life begins, but when it breaks from the outside, life ends.

Stay strong! You can do it!

Dreams

You can't see when all your dreams are coming true.
- The Goo Goo Dolls

Fear

Bravery

Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength.

Feel alone? OCD taking over?

Everyone has those days where they feel worried and shaky, but for people with OCD and severe anxiety this turns into a daily experience. The feeling of closing panic and being able to pick out every little thing that is wrong or was done out of order. Trying to describe it is almost impossible because the feelings are a little different for everyone. It's even harder to explain to someone without it. I don't understand it. I just know how it feels. Sometimes I don't even know how I feel. It's weird.

OCD plays cruel tricks and we are it's victims. So don't fall into the cycle of Obsessions to Anxiety to Compulsions to Brief Relief back to Obsessions. Force it out off sync!

You a washer? Washing your hands 5 times at a time? Only do it for 3. It feels disgusting, but the more you do it the easier it gets! Trust me I went from 6 times to 2 today. It took time, but OCD staggers if you stand up to it. Can't do that? Wait 10 minutes before washing then do it really slowly. It will annoy you so much it may even shorten your washing! If not, you still won! You made yourself wait. OCD did not control you. You're winning!

So try it!  Get off the pattern and do your routine differently. I dare you. Try for one week.

Post back your success or attempts!

Tomorrow

Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
                                             Matthew 6:34

T.W.A.A.R.P

Funny name right? Easy to remember though!

Hi! Welcome to our new blog!

We are two high schoolers who have been diagnosed with OCD and severe anxiety.... And we're best friends. We met at our friend's party and really hit it off. We were twins! Two hours later we figured out we shared another trait; we are both OCD.

After months knowing each other, we talk constantly about everything about everything and OCD too. We want to help others like us. We both thought we were alone until we met one another. We want other sufferers of OCD and anxiety to know they too are not alone.

So email us at: twaarp@gmail.com
