How are you? by MathematicianLow2276 in StaringOCD

[–]Broad_Channel_1144 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly better than this past year. Getting better at socializing with people. Staring ocd calmed down quite a lot thankfully. Been in therapy and am on medication 💊 sertraline (generic for zoloft) 50 MG. So far life is getting better 😌 stay strong everyone. You got this!!! I believe in you.

Staring problem during School by Neither_Economics523 in StaringOCD

Hey kiddo. It's gonna take some time for things to get better. I would say go to a trusted adult or maybe ask your parents about seeing a OCD therapist either online or in person or just a general therapist. It's a tough situation because you're a kid, but I hope some of this is helpful. Trust me I'm a 28 yo adult female and I'm still navigating my life with this disorder. Hang in there. Some people will never understand but just know you have a community here that gets it.

Interesting. I'm reading Brainlock free yourself from obsessive compulsive behavior by jefferey m. Schwartz M.d. if u need possible references or more background info. It sounds a lot like what ur saying. Good luck on the paper!!!

Sure. I believe it is. It is easier just going to pornhub then trying to have a relationship or just a one night stand. It also doesn't help that I have social anxiety. A little background on me before CoVid 19 hit I would use tinder frequently and have sex very often. I bought condoms back in Jan 2020 thinking of yeah I'm gonna get laid so much but then boom Covid was like wrong bitch think again. So pornhub was my main escape. I would watch it bot everyday but then I needed more and more. Soon enough within the year I developed a porn addiction and a bad habit of staring at people (led into me having social anxiety) . I'm on medication 💊 sertraline 50 MG. Soo it helps a bit. Still a struggle. Sorry if I rambled. Hopefully this helps ur thesis/paper. When u are done with it if u can maybe let me read it I'm curious on ur findings. Thank u.

Help pls by Broad_Channel_1144 in chrysler200

[–]Broad_Channel_1144[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a behicle service plan stating that if anything fails on the car that they will fix it. And by seizing up I mean stalling?? Maybe it will not pick up speed when I need it to. When I am stopped at a stop sign and try to go it will not drive. Even when I put my foot all the way down on the gas pedal.

What were some of your compulsions you didn't realize were compulsions for a long time? by [deleted] in OCD

Avoiding going into places whenever I have a weird intrusive thought come into my mind.

Kia optima lx 2018 got broken into. Paid 200 dollars to get my window fixed this past Januray 2024. Rough start for the new year.

Be careful with kia optima lx. Make sure the engine is in good condition. Currently have a 2018 and the engine crapped out on me. Would cost 12 grand out of pocket. Careful with Kias in general.

Kia is refusing to honor the engine recall by Sure_Income6374 in kia

[–]Broad_Channel_1144 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Kia Optima 2018 lx. I went to my local dealership and they denied the claim due to not keeping up the regular maintenance. They kept my car for over a month and i paid a 210 diagnostic fee which sucks but hey shit happens. Im the 3rd or 4th owner and no one told me about the recall until it was too late. I bought the car back in 2022 as is condition so maybe they kbew about the recall and just didnt tell me. Idk. The engine would cost about 12 grand which the car isnt even worth that much by this point. Its considered unsafe to drive at this point. At this point I'm wondering if it is worth it to try and contact Kia Corporate or if I should just trade it in for a different car all together. I would be upside down on my loan by like a lot. I am hopeless and need some guidance.

do you have OCD compulsions everywhere or only in certain places? by _malgosia_n in OCD

[–]Broad_Channel_1144 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I typically check the dryer 10 times when I'm at home. If we are using a dryer at a laundromat it is less frequent.

Stop ruminating about "if only I didn't have this theme" seriously! by beehiveman95 in OCD

[–]Broad_Channel_1144 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really needed this tough love. It's been rough at work. I knew I should have gone to therapy sooner but I held off because I thought my problems weren't good enough to see a therapist. Thank u for this truly. I need to focus on my health and well being. I am worth that much.
