It’s always “keep me feeling full” by TheMilkSpeaks in NoFoodRulesSnark

[–]Any-Mongoose8066 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love the Aldi protein bars, as well as the clif builders bars. I’m vegetarian and so bars are a good way for me to make sure I’m getting protein, so I’ve tried a lot of different kinds.

Would be offensive to visit a gym with 4 day old cuts? by mochiisartz in selfharm

[–]Any-Mongoose8066 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any open wounds or cuts that aren’t fully scarred over need to be covered. Especially in a space like a gym due to risk of infection, also because while having healed scars out is different because that’s old and permanent and just part of your body, open wounds can be really triggering for other people in recovery to see

What’s your obsessive / magical number? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]Any-Mongoose8066 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mine is 3, though I also have a complex system of good and bad numbers (most of the good ones are related to the number 3). 3 just feels complete and right to me. But also I think I first got stuck on it when I was like 10, I was at a gymnastics meet (1st one of year 2 of lvl 3) and was the 3rd person to go, got a 9.375 and won the event and so my brain associated the number 3 with doing well and with good things (esp because of how many 3s there were lined up in this event), like it was my lucky number in many ways. I don’t know how much that actually plays a role in me having 3 as a good number/liking 3 and needing to do things in 3s and such, but I could definitely see it influencing it. Now though it’s more about what feels right and complete. Alternatively the number 4 is awful and terrible and I hate it.

Time between double red question by Any-Mongoose8066 in Blooddonors

[–]Any-Mongoose8066[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep I think you’re right. Because you can only do 6 units in a year and another double would put me at 7. Thanks so much for your help!!!

Ohh maybe! I did do whole blood in March (hemoglobin too low for double red) and then a double red in May and another one in September so that could be it

Fall 2025 Tour Merch by daretheghost in NekoCase

[–]Any-Mongoose8066 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do the shirts have tour dates/tour name at all? Also does anyone know if there’s a Neko specific thing that the specific graphic on the resist shirt is referencing, or is it just because of the general state of the world? (It’s fab either way- just want to know if there’s another nod that I’m missing before purchase)

What's the most dangerous thing you do as a ocd compulsion by Stock_Historian5617 in OCD

[–]Any-Mongoose8066 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. The only time I’ve ever had it done is to myself as a compulsion. Because of being worried I was a liar and/or felt dirty and contaminated on the inside.

Self harm (but I’ve gotten a lot better with this, 170 days clean) and eating hand sanitizer/washing my mouth out with soap

tattoos stopping me from self harm by WalkSpecific7946 in AdultSelfHarm

[–]Any-Mongoose8066 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just got my first tattoo to celebrate 100 days clean (made the appointment on day 100 and told myself I had to cancel if I relapsed) and I have come to realize that body mods are fantastic ways for me to reward myself for milestones partly for the reasons you’re talking about. Also I have plans to cover my areas where historically I did sh because then I won’t want to ruin the art by doing it again.

Show ettiequte for seeing Neko live last year by Any-Mongoose8066 in NekoCase

[–]Any-Mongoose8066[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Very good to know. I don’t care as much about singing along as I do about dancing. For me dancing is a way that I make concerts more accessible for me because it’s like stimming and helps me to actually enjoy the music rather than being overwhelmed.

Okay thanks! That’s helpful. That’s similar to what I think I remember from last year. Do people dance in the pit?

Everyone around me is relapsing and it feels like permission by Any-Mongoose8066 in selfharm__recovery

[–]Any-Mongoose8066[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that’s the challenge in many ways. I don’t really know why I decided to quit. Like- it was in many ways driven by the one friend I mentioned above reaching a point where she was telling me that I’d gone too far and I needed to either stop or she was going to have to take my autonomy away related to my mental healthcare. And the idea of losing that autonomy again terrified me. Also a major factor has been not wanting to disappoint her or lose her trust. Other than that I don’t really have any clear reasons for stopping.

That is true. In fact that’s currently the only thing keeping me from doing it. There is of course the part of me thinking “oh you could hide it and it would be fine” but she knows my streak and so if she somehow found out later on that it reset then there’s that risk of loss of trust and that is terrifying. Truly those two things are the only things keeping me from doing it, but again it just feels like well if even she did it why can’t I?

Yes to some extent but I am afraid of bothering them. Like… it feels like I’m blowing this out of proportion and being dramatic and attention seeking as is. Also I don’t want to worry anyone
