For five years I struggled with a form of OCD known as scrupulosity. In scrupulosity, I obsess over the littlest things thinking that they are serious sins. I remember most days feeling an enormous guilt that consumed my soul.

I remember thinking, “Wow, this is so much better than freshman year. I feel like I’m going to spend the rest of my life thankful that I’m not a freshman anymore.”

A Nothing Box is a place where you can literally just sit and think about nothing, literally absolutely nothing. For girls, this is so difficult because our minds are constantly running through so many thoughts about different situations…Our minds are very scary places to be stuck in, which is why I am so blessed to say I have a nothing box.

For me I didn’t want to confront this man. I was afraid, I didn’t think I would know what to say. God gave me the grace to have the courage and I was able to explain what the Catholic faith is really about.
