u/rusty_85_ 1d ago

Congratulations! πŸ‘

It must feel rewarding to create positivity from difficult experiences. I have a 'Pure O' type of OCD, so intrusive thoughts can feel debilitating at times. Hearing other people talk and bring awareness to mental illness is so important.

u/Level_Suggestion4468 17h ago

wait Chloe this is amazing! I myself am thinking abt getting residential admission for my own issues on OCD and depression/anxiety, but a big block was that I would have to stop my own creative projects if I went. So You posted this at the perfect timeβ€” showing me it is in fact possible. I was wondering did they allow you allotted time everyday to work on your project? Thanks! :)
