Can Forgetting Compulsions Help Heal OCD and Trauma?

Stress can play a major role in memory lapses, especially for people living with OCD and trauma. When the mind is overwhelmed by anxiety, daily pressures, or too many competing tasks, it can become harder to focus on intrusive thoughts or compulsions. Preoccupation with other responsibilities may naturally push the urge into the background, allowing it to fade over time. In this way, stress and distraction, although challenging, can sometimes disrupt the cycle of OCD by creating moments where the compulsion is forgotten.

Proposal to Replace PIP with ACDP Gains Momentum

At DisabledEntrepreneur.uk, we support the ACDP approach because it is designed by disabled people, for disabled people, and recognises the full reality of daily barriers. We reject any system that forces claimants to “prove” their disability-related costs with receipts or spending controls, as this strips people of dignity and human rights. Disabled people know best how to manage their own lives and finances; what they need is trust, fair support, and recognition of the extra costs they face, not surveillance.

The Harsh Reality of Job Hunting in Today’s Economy

Job hunting and running a business share a common struggle; despite effort, visibility, and determination, opportunities remain scarce. The case of Joe Emery highlights the reality that many people face: endless applications, countless rejections, and a system that seems blind to the human toll of unemployment. Businesses, particularly disabled entrepreneurs, mirror this struggle, working tirelessly yet seeing minimal returns.
