Ah, see ya..

[ObsessedButBlessed]

Going to take a vacation with seajoy and bid adieu. I have not voiced my frustrations....really ever, but it's getting to the point a lot lately where I'm asking myself why I'm bothering responding. And I don't think that does me or the poster any good.

I'm sorry that everyone is suffering. I wish you all much luck with recovery.

See you around.

I hope that I didn't make you decide to leave...but I have to admit what you said scared me to death. I guess it's whatever makes you feel better though, I just don't want to make you feel bad or anything.

 

[keryakos]

Speaking for myself and also agreeing with Caty what you said scared me to death as well..

no one wants you to leave but if you feel its best ..

 

[ObsessedButBlessed]

I'm sorry you were scared. That was not my intent.

Obsessedbutblessed,

I understand your feelings, but hope you will re-consider. I personally have always gotten a tremendous amount of blessing from your posts. You have a lot of wisdom to impart about fighting OCD.

I think this a result of a simple misunderstanding of what you were trying to say. I can understand why you might feel like you said, "why bother if this is the way it is..." but again, I think we just have a misunderstanding here.

Whatever...be blessed and know that you have blessed and helped me a lot while you were here.

I'm sorry you were scared. That was not my intent.

Well ... we are all human ..and we all have days that we say things that could have been worded differently ..


Why don't you stay ? We do need you ...

I agree with Kay you have helped me too ....please reconsider ...

we all love you .....

 

[ObsessedButBlessed]

Thanks for the kind words, but I feel my time here may be done. I have been feeling this way for a while so I think this is my opportunity to let go.

 

[Caty]

yeah i would also hope that you could reconsider, you've helped me relate to you and stuff. But just to ease my fears or just whatever you meant you don't have to sugar coat it or anything...but what did you mean by what you were trying to tell me.

Oh ObsessedButBlessed whilst I respect your decision and the reasons behind it please, please can you just make sure that it's right that you leave? If it is then fine though we'll miss you but if it's not then this forum will be losing an awesome member needlessly! I cannot tell you how much you have helped me...you word things in such a reasoned and clear way and your experience is so helpful not least in light of your recovery. Of course people are going to be scared when faced with what we all have as the two options...ie this is either true or not true and most likely OCD. Fear is one of the the foundation stones of OCD and when we're in the middle of the mother of all spikes then to have the reality of our predicament spelt out can be terrifying...but that is cos we have an anxiety disorder not cos you're wrong to spell it out!

I can understand how it is frustrating when you have made such a fantastic recovery to feel this is in someway snubbed and like I said in Seajoy's recent thread I think well all need to remember that a better person with OCD still has feelings and maybe even issues too.

Please reconsider or at least pray about it some more...like I said if this is God's will for you right now then I would not want to block His path for you...but it would be so sad to see you go if you don't really have to. Whatever you decide please know that you have been an awesome rock in very turbulent seas and I pray God blesses you and your hubby richly. Take care...Rachel x

 

[ObsessedButBlessed]

Thanks, Rachel, I really appreciate your feelings and I've thought a lot about it considering how long we've known each other. I want you to know I consider you a personal friend and someone I care about a lot. I want nothing more than to see you recovered and living a life free of OCD.

But I have been censoring myself a lot over the past few months and have been scared to answer posts for fear of the way some people will react. And I did that today and what I feared came true... so I just don't think it's healthy for me to be here anymore.

Thanks ann, but I really do think it's for the best. I feel maybe God is leading me elsewhere. May you have all the blessings God has to offer, and my prayers are with you!
