Day 9 of Mental Health Awareness Month from Ms. Kentucky North America: Today, a memory popped up on my social media that reminded me of how far I’ve come but yet it’s still so hard some days to not see the “old me”. So let's talk about body dysmorphia and the impact it can have on our mental health. It important to recognize that we are all unique and beautiful in our own way. Remember your FLAWS - finding love and worth in self - and embrace your true self. You are not a victim your body, but a survivor of negative thoughts. Take time to appreciate and love yourself for who you are. You are beautiful!!!! 🫶👑 #BodyPositivity #SelfLove #MentalHealthAwareness #FLAWS #YouAreBeautiful #namicommunicate #bodydysmorphia #BDD #loveyourbody #internationalocdfoundation #mentalhealthawareness #loveyourself #loveyourselffirst #MentalHealthAwareness #BreakTheStigma #YouMatter #northamericapageants #SelfCare #kentuckypageants #NAPageants #MsNorthAmerica #NAPageant #NorthAmericaBeautyPageants #NorthAmericaBeautyPageant #KentuckyNorthAmericaPageant #MissUSI
Day 7 of Mental Health Awareness from Ms. Kentucky North America: Let's remember that some mental health issues are silent. It's important to check on those who seem okay, because they may be struggling in silence. Reach out, show kindness, and offer support. Together, we can break the stigma and promote mental wellness. #MentalHealthAwareness #EndTheStigma #CheckOnYourStrongFriend #namicommunicate #internationalocdfoundation #mentalhealthawareness #MentalHealthAwareness #BreakTheStigma #YouMatter #MsNorthAmerica #NAPageants #kentuckypageants #northamericapageants #NorthAmericaBeautyPageants #NorthAmericaBeautyPageant #KentuckyNorthAmericaPageant
As someone who has been prioritizing mental health and advocating for those who are facing these daily battles, I stand with Noelia Voigt in her decision to prioritize her mental health and well-being by stepping down from her title of Miss USA. I know this decision couldn’t have been easily made after the tremendous work and effort she put in to get there. She truly embodies strength and resilience, setting a powerful example for others to follow. Noelia is the definition of what a true Queen 👑 looks like - someone who is unapologetically putting herself first and inspiring others to do the same. Let's continue to support and uplift individuals like Noelia who are taking care of themselves and advocating for #MentalHealthMatters #namicommunicate #internationalocdfoundation #mentalhealthawareness #loveyourself #loveyourselffirst #MentalHealthAwareness #BreakTheStigma #YouMatter #northamericapageants #kentuckypageants #NAPageants #NorthAmericaBeautyPageants #NorthAmericaBeautyPageant #KentuckyNorthAmericaPageant #forevermissusa 🫶🫶🫶
Today on day 6 of Mental Health Awareness Month, I want to talk about how ADHD can impact our mental health. As Ms. Kentucky North America, I want to open up about my own experience with ADHD, as well as the fact that both myself and my children are affected by this condition. Most people don’t realize they even have it but it’s very common. All my life I just thought it was normalcy. It affects our sleep, our train of thought, the way we react, even our simple daily routine. It's important to raise awareness and support for those dealing with ADHD, as it can have significant impact on our daily lives. Let's continue to educate ourselves and others about mental health conditions like ADHD #MentalHealthAwareness #ADHDAwareness #namicommunicate #internationalocdfoundation #mentalhealthawareness #MentalHealthAwareness #BreakTheStigma #YouMatter #northamericapageants #kentuckypageants #NAPageants #MsNorthAmerica #NorthAmericaBeautyPageants #NorthAmericaBeautyPageant
💚Day 4 of Mental Health Awareness Month Ms. Kentucky North America here shedding light on the experience of being a victim of anxiety. Many people don’t realize that there are so many types of mental health issues and sometimes it’s easier to put a smile on our faces and tell everyone everything is ok even when it’s not. It's important to remember that you are not defined by your anxiety, let’s normalize speaking out, and knowing someone is always help and support you. As we should be there for others too! Take the time to prioritize your mental health, practice self-care, and reach out to loved ones or professionals for assistance. You are stronger than you think, and with the right tools and mindset, you can overcome the challenges that anxiety presents. Remember, you are not alone in this journey, and your well-being deserves all the care and attention. #namicommunicate #internationalocdfoundation #mentalhealthawareness #loveyourself #loveyourselffirst #MentalHealthAwareness #BreakTheStigma #YouMatter #northamericapageants #SelfCare #kentuckypageants #NAPageants #MsNorthAmerica #NAPageant #NorthAmericaBeautyPageants #NorthAmericaBeautyPageant #KentuckyNorthAmericaPageant #anxietysupport #anxietyawareness
💚Day 3 of Mental Health Awareness Month💚Ms. Kentucky North America here again reminding you that you are enough! Powerfully reminding you of the journey from struggles to strength. 💚Body dysmorphia is a real challenge, but your determination and hard work will shine through. 💚Remember to be kind to yourself, celebrate your progress, and keep moving forward. 💚Your story is important and your resilience is admirable. Keep shining bright as you continue towards your goals! 💚5 years ago I was at my highest weight of 265 lbs… a lot of ups and downs, tears, and setbacks…often I still see myself as that and have to remind myself of how far I have come and that I will make it to my goal! #loveyourself #loveyourselffirst #kentuckypageants #NAPageants #MsNorthAmerica #KentuckyNorthAmericaPageant #bodydysmorphia #youareenough #mentalhealthawareness #KentuckyNorthAmericaPageant #internationalocdfoundation #namicommunicate #SelfCare #northamericapageants #YouMatter #BreakTheStigma #MentalHealthAwareness #BDD #fitspiration

Un año más ya lo tenemos preparado para nuestro próximo viaje.✈️✈️ Y es que volveremos a Viajar #Orlando a la conferencia de #InternationalOCDFoundation Una confirmación que nos llegó esta semana y que estamos muy contentos de compartir con vosotros 😊😊 “Dear Alejandro Ibarra, Thank you for registering to attend in person the IOCDF's 29th Annual OCD Conference, sponsored by Sheppard Pratt, taking place July 26–28, 2024 (with pre-Conference activities starting at 6pm on Thursday, July 25, 2024). You have registered for the Full Conference in Orlando (Thursday-Sunday) registration as a(n) Therapist/Clinician (CE credit).”
Check out the @iocdf Faith and OCD Conference taking place Thursday, April 18, 2024! This conference will provide education about effective treatment and ways to support those in the faith community living with OCD and was specifically created to address the needs of a diverse community — spanning all faiths, ethnicities, and backgrounds. Register at the link in their bio. Excessive intrusive thoughts and compulsions do not equal your judgement or character. God knit your brain and knows who you are —and He adores you. #endmyths #endthestigma #ocd #ocdawareness #intrusivethoughts #compulsions #obsessions #realocd #ocdisnot #peaceofmind #internationalocdfoundation
OCD public awareness 📣: OCD is worldwide and affects millions day to day. Please think before using the terms I’m so OCD (Lol I have to organise everything, I’m so OCD!) or my intrusive thoughts won (I let my intrusive thoughts win and dyed my hair blue) as a cool quirk / adjective / impulse. The reality is that OCD leaves people debilitated, suicidal and has taken many lives with severe distressing ego dystonic thoughts. Unwanted thoughts that goes against our core moral values on a repeated loop cycle with doubt, shame, guilt, disgust and dread. People who live with OCD do what’s called compulsions to alleviate the distress and anxiety that can last hours on end which can lead to isolation. Like many people in the world I thought OCD was only obsessions about cleaning, checking and symmetry before I was diagnosed. But it runs far more deeper than that with pure O themes, taboo themes, moral themes, religious themes, existential themes, contamination themes, health anxiety themes and so many more obsessional themes that OCD can latch on to. Anything you hold true value with OCD can turn it and make your world a living nightmare. If more education was mainstreamed with the public I could have been diagnosed much earlier and had early intervention from OCD. I hope this post has giving you more insight that OCD is worldwide and that it isn’t a cool quirk or an adjective but a real debilitating mental health disorder that I wouldn’t wish upon anyone. If you would like more education of OCD and this post has resonated with you in any way please visit the International OCD Foundation website that is IOCDF.org or ocdaction.org.uk who provide fantastic educational resources! OCD is treatable and recovery is possible! Big thank you to @justrught for creating this awesome OCD awareness image from our @iocdf International Advocate SIG!

Sometimes OCD is overlooked in autistic individuals and written off as just part of their autism. While having obsessive traits can be linked to autism, OCD can also be a separate cooccuring disorder. There are also many ways that OCD can manifest, and it's possible for it to take more than one form within the same individual. OCD is more than just being clean and organized and can be debilitating for some. *the information on these slides came directly from The International OCD Foundation* #autisticpride #autismsupport #autismcommunity #actuallyautisticadult #autismdiagnosis #autism #autistic #autisticwomen #neurodivergent #autismacceptance #autismawareness #autisticlife #autisticspectrum #autismproud #unmasking #autisticjoy #neurodiversityacceptance #neurodiversityawareness #mentalhealthawarness #mentalheath #mentalhealthmatters #disability #asd #ocd #ocdawareness #ocdlife #justrightocd #internationalocdfoundation #cooccuringdisorders

What is Anxiety Disorder? Anxiety is a disorder of the mind. While plenty of disorders/ diseases are inborn, in most cases anxiety is acquired in life. Apprehension is a common phenomenon, where there is a challenge there is fear. Anxiety disorder can be defined as excessive worry or apprehension toward a topic, person, situation, or object. to know more about Anxiety disorder follow our website: https://udgammentalhealthcare.com/doctor-for-anxiety-disorder/ #ocdinchildren #ocd #ocdproblems #psychology #psychologist #psychiatry #mentalhealth #therapy #mentalillness #depression #psychiatrist #doctor #medical #anxiety #asd #autism #onlinepsychiatry #compulsions #obsessions #excessivewashing #countingactions #internationalocdfoundation #udgamclinic
OCD in Children.. Introduction to Childhood OCD A common myth is that if an individual is very tidy, and organized, doesn't like others messing up their space, and is strict about cleanliness, then they have OCD. OCD as a disorder has more to do with the disruption of one's time than cleanliness. In obsessive-compulsive disorder, as the name suggests, an individual tends to do a task or ritual, over and over again to reduce anxiety generated by disturbing obsessive thoughts. To know more read our new Blog on #OCD follow the link: https://udgammentalhealthcare.com/ocd-in-children/ #ocdinchildren #ocd #ocdproblems #psychology #psychologist #psychiatry #mentalhealth #therapy #mentalillness #depression #psychiatrist #doctor #medical #anxiety #asd #autism #onlinepsychiatry #compulsions #obsessions #excessivewashing #countingactions #internationalocdfoundation #udgamclinic
Compulsive Actions in OCD.. Compulsive action is an action that a person will undertake to reduce the anxiety, apprehension or fear created by obsessive thought. But when a person reduces anxiety or fear caused by a repetitive thought by performing an activity, it has a very temporary effect and takes up a lot of time in the day for that person to undertake these activities and causes problems in day-to-day living. If you see symptoms of OCD in your child, seek assistance immediately.

What OCD Feels Like.. “OCD is like having a bully stuck inside your head and nobody else can see it.” — Krissy McDermott “It’s like being controlled by a puppeteer. Every time you try and just walk away he pulls you back. Are you sure the stove is off and everything is unplugged? Back up we go. Are you sure your hands are as clean as they can get? Back ya go. Are you sure the doors are securely locked? Back down we go. How many people have touched this object? Wash your hands again.” — Toni Neville By International OCD Foundation #InternationalOCDFoundation #ocdinchildren #ocd #ocdrawing #locd #ocdproblems #psychology #psychologist #psychiatry #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #medicine #therapy #mentalillness #depression #psychiatrist #doctor #medical #anxiety #health #mentalhealthmatters #mentalHealthawarenessmonth #udgamchildandadultcare #asd #autism #onlinepsychiatry #udgamclinic

Today, we would like to introduce you to one of our English Alumni, Julie Oliver (Class of 2007). 😊 -------- “When I transferred to Westfield State University (still Westfield State College back then!) I thought I wanted to teach, so I started off in the Teacher of English Licensure program. I realized quickly that it wasn’t for me, but found my passion for writing and especially for showcasing the writing of my peers in Persona. I continued to plan literary events in grad school which eventually led me to plan non-profit events for the International OCD Foundation. I love that I can apply my wide range of skills to a cause that really helps people, and the English Department at WSU was influential on putting me on that path.” 😊📚✒️ #EnglishDepartment #English #westfieldstateuniversity #westfieldstate #Poetry #Prose #art #englishstudent #soproud #persona #nonprofit #westfieldstateuniversity #westfieldstate #achievements #students #Alumni #faculty #wsu #literaryevents #EnglishMajors #internationalocdfoundation #eventplanner

Anxiety may present as fear or worry, but can also make children irritable and angry. Children often can't think about anything than the stress. They can present fear of separation. They may have nightmares or regular physical complaints. They may be reluctant to go to school or other places. No matter how it presents anxiety is overwhelming and difficult for children to navigate.

Congratulations Jaclyn on becoming a Certified ExRP Therapist! 🎉 Jaclyn is 1 of 3 Certified therapists in Canada! What an accomplishment! 👏 Jaclyn completed her training with the Center for the Treatment and Study of Anxiety through the University of Pennsylvania. It took Jaclyn 10 months to become certified which included intensive workshops and supervision with an ExRP consultant. Jaclyn is passionate about helping people with OCD and found ExRP (Exposure and Response Prevention) to be an interesting tool and way to help those with OCD. ExRP is really hard work and can be uncomfortable at times, but it allows the person to start to understand where the thoughts come from and how they impact their lives. ExRP encourages the person to face their fears without using compulsions and allows the person to change some of the danger cues that the brain is giving them. Please help us recognize and congratulate Jaclyn on this well deserved accomplishment! We are grateful for her dedication and work in helping those with OCD. #certifiedexrptherapist #exrptherapy #professionaldevelopment #ocdtherapist #behaviouraltherapy #registeredsocialworker #ocd #exposureandresponseprevention #internationalocdfoundation #iocdf #acorncounselling #hamont #psychotherapy #psychotherapist #childandfamilytherapist #hamontbusiness #childcounselling #teencounselling #familycounselling #parentsupportcounselling #couplescounselling #individualcounselling #registeredsocialworkers #childandyouthcareworkers #parentsupportcounsellors

Assessing Clutter (yes, it’s a thing): When discussing new referrals with other professionals such as the fire service, social workers and the NHS, we use a tool called ‘The Clutter Scale’. This was developed by the International OCD Foundation and helps us to get an understanding of the work needed and the potential risks to us and the client/s before we enter a property. #clutterscalerating #clutter #declutter #haretoorganiseltd #safehome #declutteringservices #mentalhealth #ocd #internationalocdfoundation #hoarding

Your favourite 8 nights of giving back author has returned, Nik! Earlier this week I talked about some of my own mental health struggles in regards to depression, tonight I’m gonna focus on a different side of my mental health. Tonight I’ll be talking about the International OCD Foundation. About a year and a half ago I sat down with my wonderful therapist and had a talk about OCD. For a while, it had felt like general anxiety didn’t quite fit everything jumping around my brain. That appointment was a bit scary because I kept telling myself I couldn’t possibly fit OCD. I’d heard about it in class and seen it in all sorts of shows and I certainly didn’t fit those images, I wasn’t counting all the time or organizing things to perfection or washing my hands a hundred times. But I took the risk and brought it up, a few weeks and DSM-5 scouring later we found that I did really have OCD. Since then I’ve done a lot of research and looked back on my life with it, I realized that it’s something that a lot of people know very little about. I want to continue to be open about my experiences to fight the misinformation and help those who might be in the same boat I was. #chanukah #eightnightsofgivingback #nightseven #internationalocdfoundation #iocdf #ocdawareness #mentalhealthawareness #endthestigma #mentalhealthwarrior #educateyourself #livedexperiences

Many individuals with OCD struggle with violent, scary, or “taboo” thoughts (ie: beastiality, incest, etc). These individuals are no more likely to act on these thoughts than people without OCD. Why? 👇🏽 These types of thoughts are “ego dystonic,” meaning, the person with them does not want them or like them. The person is not choosing to have these thoughts. Let’s fight stigma together and show support for anyone struggling with these thoughts by dropping a “❤️” below! 👇🏽 #ocdrecovery #ocd #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #taboothoughts #harmocd #ocdawareness #ocdsupport #destigmatizementalillness #mentalhealthmatters #exposureandresponseprevention #erpforocd #faceyourfears #youarenotyourthoughts #youarenotalone #breakthestigma #ocdtherapy #ocdtherapist #iocdf #internationalocdfoundation #thoughtdefusion #icbt #acceptanceandcommitmenttherapy #ocdproblems #ocdlife #ocdtreatment #ocdisnotanadjective #ocdissues #ocdisnotajoke
