more than my diagnosis
I didn’t want OCD to be the rest of my story.
where my story changed
I realized I wanted more than a life defined by OCD.
I spent years letting OCD rule my life. After being hospitalized twice at 34 years old, I reached a breaking point. I knew I didn’t want to spend my life trying to get through each day. I wanted to look forward to my future and who I was becoming.
That realization became the beginning of BuiltBeyondOCD. Fitness, nutrition, and taking care of my mental well-being gave me something bigger than myself to build, one day at a time. I’m sharing what I lived, what I’m learning, and the things that have helped me create a life past my diagnosis.
Build Your Strength. Then Build What’s Beyond.
Strength Through Action
Movement, strength training, nutrition, and daily routines give you something positive to show up for. Build confidence through consistency and become stronger each day at a time.
Build a Bigger Life
Your life deserves to be more than your diagnosis. It’s about setting new goals, trying challenging things, reconnecting with your true self, and putting your attention toward the life you want to build.
