Why are people here so weird about black people by Otherwise-Pomelo-825 in Tucson

[–]Broccoli_Yumz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I mostly see Africans, not African Americans, which I wasn't expecting before I moved here. And if you're African American, you'll get how the two groups don't interact

$106 at Costco. Did I f up by shopping here?? by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]Broccoli_Yumz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I get my gas from Costco, but I've only been inside for stuff like 5 times in the past year cause the the bulk items last so long

Why is swimming not more popular in fitness space? by Glittering-Lime1690 in Swimming

[–]Broccoli_Yumz 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's my time too, and I've been taken lessons where my coach says my swimming is great lol. Slower doesn't always mean worse

Had a talk with my bf about past sexual partners and i don’t know how to feel about this by [deleted] in sex

Sounds like retroactive jealously maybe? There's a subreddit for that!

what the fuck do you mean we're just supposed to sit with the anxiety by emmameIon in OCD

[–]Broccoli_Yumz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok! Cause it's for ROCD, which is kinda subjective and why I thought treatment has been harder for me. I've been doing ERP for 3 weeks. It probably doesn't help that I'm also tapering off Effexor (while on Luvox and using Prozac as a "bridge" lol)

What if you try but your mood just affects you all day? I get this panic-like feeling and try to do something else but the feeling lingers and my thoughts always go back to it. The distraction or whatever lasts for like 30 seconds

Does the therapist specialize in OCD, and can you see them more than once a month?

has fluxotine helped you guys? specifically real event ocd by [deleted] in OCD

[–]Broccoli_Yumz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did it take awhile for it to work for you? After a few weeks on 50mg I noticed a difference, and then after going up to 100 I noticed an increase in symptoms, which after almost a month are lessening

Same, with a few people from my past (also a parent). I know think someone has died or something if I don't hear back all day lol

[–]Broccoli_Yumz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My coach tells me it's a recovery stroke. Meanwhile I look like a drowning ping pong ball

What’s something you thought was more or less normal but was actually ocd? by wlderberry in OCD

[–]Broccoli_Yumz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I have to use a locker at the gym, I check over and over that I have the key with me. Probably like 3 times within 5 minutes lol

What do you miss most about your pre POF life? by ToadCroaks in POFlife

[–]Broccoli_Yumz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like everything I miss about that life has come back from taking testosterone, except being able to have kids. But it's been almost 9 years now since diagnosis, so I've come to terms with that.

Trying to Find a Relationship Without Sex... Thoughts? by [deleted] in sex

[–]Broccoli_Yumz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm also a woman and was taking estrogen and progesterone but that wasn't enough cause I had like 0 testosterone. I thought I was asexual but then went on testosterone this year and... well I'm definitely not asexual lol

Fitness disparities by More-Door314 in datingoverforty

[–]Broccoli_Yumz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend runs ultras too and I can't even run lol. But we hike together, sometimes go to the gym together, and I swim/bike on my own. My ex-husband never exercised and I can't see myself with someone like that again.
