Mental Health, Depression, ADD Discussion Thread

[Mattie]

Well, it was time to come to terms to something I've postponed for a while now.

I suffer greatly from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and it seems like I need to get the help I need.

Sadly, my creative and fastpaced mind can also be my achilles heel.

A lot of people think OCD is just cutesy organisation, and you'll hear a lot of people say "I'm so OCD".

I've done a lot of things in my life. I'm in great shape, faced a whole lot of adversity – but nothing comes close to OCD flare ups.

It is the scariest thing I've ever experienced, and just a few weeks ago I experienced it again.

Your mind is on a constant loop, your thoughts are wholly focused on frivolous things, but you can't get rid of it. Your stomach knots and your throat closes.

It's like having a blaring car alarm in your head 24/7, and the only respite is sleep - or as I've done as a younger (and dumber) man - get so drunk you forget who you are.

Luke Combs, a very famous singer and fellow sufferer put it quite bluntly by saying:

If someone killed my whole family, I'd prefer them to be free and suffer with OCD than go to prison, and I'm not exaggerating.

Luckily it's improved, and I'm grateful I didn't break my 4.5 year sobriety.

It also impacted my entrepreneurial efforts for the past while which is chiefly why I sought help. I then realised how much more I should be grateful for than constantly chasing financial freedom.

I'm still looking at new ideas, but it's been very hard to focus. I'd love to look at writing a book about my insights in the near future.
I'm being referred to specialists, and I'm doing an awful lot of digging on neuroplasticity.

It's about time to practise "Choose Hard, Live Easy" on something other than entrepreneurship.

Lets not forget Abraham Lincoln's severe fight with mental health, and his subsequent outstanding successes.

God Bless to all.

Lots of prayers for you. Hope everything becomes easier to manage for you. Best wishes.
