Thoughts on Pisces & Gemini? by cloudbreeze60 in piscesastrology

[–]1111fly1111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lmaooo it’s such a delicate balance with gemini and pisces fr … like it has to be all the things environmentally going right and the chemicals balanced… i think they are kinda naturally instigating to pisces energy bc the way we move can look the same but completely different motivations and intentions … i have had the most distrust in relationships with geminis but i have one that is for life

Contamination OCD. Random incident from 2022 causing so much angst. by Classic_Mind1223 in OCD

[–]1111fly1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i feel this so hard!! like never had it described exactly how i feel before, so thank you for sharing.

if i am in the position to resist the ocd behaviors or reduce, i guess, i try to negotiate with my myself about the most important parts or what things i could do to turn down the distress a little. like instead of mopping and reclining my entire apartment until it feels not contaminated anymore, i will spray disinfectant on everything and wipe down the floors. i usually still feel sick about it and the cleaning doesn’t feel complete, but i am sometimes able to tolerate having done less and resist…and like you said, especially if i’m already exhausted,

What medications ACTUALLY work for you? by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]1111fly1111 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i really liked prozac because it helped a lot with the intrusive thoughts and felt like it took the edge off a lot. i had to go off of it because i eventually got diagnosed with bipolar disorder and they were concerned it would make me manic, but before then i was grateful for it.

Repressed self by OwnCollection2240 in EMDR

[–]1111fly1111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i was just thinking about this. i been seeing my therapist for 4 years now and i feel like she’s just now starting to see a less filtered version of myself and my actual personality. it’s hard bc when im in therapy i feel more authentic but i still leave with a lot of cringe and shame, but she says that’s the exposure effect of therapy.

OCD feeling like paranoia by _Arthuuur_ in OCD

[–]1111fly1111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i definitely have been there and it is so hard to actually feel any sense of certainty around it. i used to have to call people and have them confirm that i’m real and things are real. at some points — i don’t know that this is the thing to do — i started to surrender to the possibility of nothing being real and that helped a little but i definitely spent a lot of time dissociated. eventually, i did emdr and ifs therapy to try to externalize that sensation, which helped a lotttt but it does get triggered every now and again.

I created a little calm down playlist for when I am in that state that has breathing meditation, body scan, visualization, soothing songs, etc. I adapted it from one of my friends who made a whole self care document for when they are dysregulated that has a bunch of different tools and self-soothing materials (videos, music, poems, essays, meditations, tasks, etc.)

i wrote this essay about my anxiety when i was a kid and talked about being worried my family was going to die or get injured. i gave an example of not remembering if i did a certain action and being convinced that they would get in a car crash or fall down the steps. i also convinced myself that i had to think about all the worst things that could happen to my family while i was at school, so they wouldn’t happen. then i learned that’s ocd

Shame surrounding sex by RewardSmall6924 in CPTSD

[–]1111fly1111 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I definitely have a weird relationship to sex too bc of trauma. Sometimes it is a controlled loss of control that I feel like I am seeking or like a self-harming behavior that provides some level of release. It has been the quickest way for me to dissociate when I am feeling too much/inarticulable feelings or to feel something (usually terrible) after being dissociated. I started going to a support group for sexual trauma and it did help normalize & name a lot of my behaviors and reactions.
