Everyone who listens knows and understands that I have OCD.  For people who don’t know what that is, it’s obsessive compulsive disorder.   It is classed as a mental disorder.  You can go listen to Season 1 episodes and I talk about it a lot. 

I’ve had OCD for a long time, 40+ years.  Some days are worse than other.  Some days there is no controlling it and those days are not good at all.  I’m constantly in turmoil and no matter how I try I cannot get organized.

I refer to OCD as my addiction because just like people that are addicted to drugs, alcohol, sex or gambling you constantly fight for control.  

Since October, my OCD has been Outta of control daily (that was the name of my original podcast).

I was unemployed, husband’s hours had been cut and we knew we needed to sell our home.

Having family in real estate really helped.  Our realtor found us a private investor and we were under contract in no time.  

That’s when the real fun started.  I had to start packing find movers, not to mention find us a new place to live.  I also had to keep the podcast going and search for a permanent job.  

I had just had one dog put down in September and another was showing signs that he wasn’t well.  I tried to keep my daily schedule which if you have OCD, a daily routine is important.

I was walking/jogging/running every day at least 2.5 miles and I was doing that in40 minutes or less.  Then I made my energy drink and started to work for the day. 

Since moving I have not been able to do any of that, mainly because of my wreck and trying to heal.  

However, my OCD does not understand that.  My OCD wants a routine.  We are starting to get one and it gets better every day.  It is a constant struggle to keep things at bay.  I know we will eventually get everything worked out and that it will take time.  OCD is not patient and it doesn’t understand the healing process either. 

Things are really looking up in the last few weeks and I have obtained a sponsor and we are working on it together to get her more business and me a bigger following which I hope will lead to more sponsors
