🌱 Clearing a Path Forward

You don’t need to clear everything at once.

In OCD and anxiety recovery, progress often looks like:
• One feared step
• One delayed compulsion
• One uncertain decision

Over time, those small paths connect — and movement becomes easier. Be patient with yourself as you dig out this week. The snow may be cleared from the roads, but that doesn't mean the OCD/anxiety is cleared for you!

🧣 Helping Someone Else Dig Out

Supporting someone with OCD or anxiety while they “dig out” can be tricky.

Helpful support looks like:
• Standing alongside, not taking over
• Encouraging effort, not avoidance
• Allowing discomfort without rescuing

Just like snow removal, recovery builds strength through doing, not being protected from effort.

🧤 Digging Out Without Overdoing It

When digging out from heavy snow, overexertion can lead to injury. The same is true when digging out from anxiety or OCD.

Helpful reminders:
✔️ Take breaks
✔️ Aim for “good enough”
✔️ Don’t rush certainty
✔️ Let discomfort exist without fixing it

ERP teaches us that slow, steady effort builds resilience — not urgency or perfection.

🧠 Anxiety After the Storm Lingers

Even when the storm passes, anxiety and OCD don’t instantly settle.

Just like snowbanks left behind:
• Worry may linger
• Urges may stick around
• Fatigue can show up

This doesn’t mean you’re backsliding — it means your nervous system is still thawing.

Healing happens after the storm, too.

❄️ Digging Out After the Storm

After a major snowstorm, digging out doesn’t happen all at once. It happens one shovel at a time.

The same is true when anxiety or OCD spikes after disruption:
• Routines are off
• Stress lingers
• Thoughts feel heavier

You don’t have to “fix” everything today. Progress starts with clearing one small path forward.

Marketing Monday spotlight 🏃‍♂️🧠

Many runners experience OCD and anxiety, yet it’s rarely talked about in sports or mental health spaces.
From intrusive thoughts during training to compulsive routines around performance, running can both help and intensify symptoms.

We’re conducting a short, anonymous survey for runners living with OCD and anxiety to better understand:
✔️ How symptoms show up during training or races
✔️ What helps (and what doesn’t)
✔️ Gaps in mental health support for athletes

Your insight helps us create better, more effective OCD and anxiety treatment tailored for runners and endurance athletes.

🌤️ Weekend Check-In — You’re Allowed to Go Slower in Winter

Weekends can be complicated when you live with OCD or anxiety. There’s pressure to “catch up,” be productive, or finally feel better—and when that doesn’t happen, self-criticism can creep in.

Here’s your permission slip for this weekend:
💙 You can rest without earning it
💙 You can take breaks without fixing everything
💙 You can move at winter speed

Managing OCD and anxiety takes energy—especially when the days are cold and the light is low. Slowing down isn’t giving up; it’s listening to your nervous system.

✨ One gentle weekend practice: Choose one thing that feels grounding (warm tea, a short walk, a favorite show) and let that be enough.

You don’t need to feel better this weekend. You just need to be kind to yourself while you’re here.

— When It Feels Like Winter Won’t End

There’s a specific kind of grief that comes with OCD and anxiety—the grief of wondering if life will always feel this hard. Winter can make that fear louder.

But here’s something important to remember:
✨ Feeling hopeless does not mean hope is gone
✨ Feeling tired does not mean you’re done
✨ Feeling discouraged does not mean recovery isn’t happening

Even on the coldest days, the days are slowly getting longer—whether you notice it or not.

If you’re struggling right now, please know:
You are allowed to ask for support.
You deserve compassion—including from yourself.
This season will not last forever.

💙 We’re holding hope for you until you can feel it again.

❄️ — Depression & OCD: A Quiet Combination

Depression doesn’t always look like sadness. Sometimes it looks like numbness, exhaustion, or the belief that nothing will change. For many people with OCD and anxiety, depression shows up when the fight feels endless—especially in winter.

If this resonates:
🧠 You’re not weak
🧠 You’re not failing
🧠 You’re not alone

OCD is demanding. Anxiety is exhausting. Feeling worn down after months—or years—of effort makes sense.

✨ One small thing you can try today:
Instead of asking “Will this ever get better?”
Try asking “What helps me get through today?”

You don’t need hope for the whole future—just enough for this moment.
