I think throughout all of this is just living with uncertainty...the best that we can do is love up on ourselves and have compassion for ourselves through this process, and then the same for other people.
Imagine feeling trapped by your own mind, haunted by relentless thoughts and fears. In this eye-opening episode of the 'Human Be(com)ing' podcast, host Anna Liljenwall sits down with mental health advocate Emily Mannikko to discuss their personal battles with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Both Anna and Emily share raw, heartfelt stories about how OCD once controlled their lives, causing immense shame and fear. But they didn't stop there; they transformed their pain into purpose.
Emily opens up about the dark times when her OCD led to suicidal thoughts and how she had to disentangle her identity from her struggles. Anna talks about embracing uncertainty and learning to live in the present moment with compassion and self-love. Together, they tackle the often taboo subjects surrounding mental health, especially OCD, shedding light on the importance of breaking the stigma. Throughout their candid conversation, Anna and Emily emphasize that everyone's journey with mental health is unique.
They remind us that self-love and compassion are key to moving forward. This episode isn't just for those dealing with OCD; it's for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of mental health and the power of turning struggles into strengths. Tune in for a deeply human discussion that will leave you inspired and hopeful.
