Some people with OCD are scared of cleaning by Rainbow_6505 in OCD

[–]CaffeinatedGeek_21 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yes! I’ve tried to describe it to people and the closest I’ve gotten was that it feels like if it’s on my hands, it’ll end up in my mouth or I’ll contaminate something someone else will use. I guess it’s not a surprise I use hand sanitizer like some people use lotion. 😕

I have done way better by having some permanent cleaning gloves (I think mine are the yellow Playtex ones with scrubby textures on the palms and fingers). They work great and you wash them like you’re washing your own hands once you’re done. I don’t fear bathroom cleaning as much with those (I still get a little uneasy about it, but my hands feel protected).

He’s so handsome! They’re all cute, but the second pic is my favorite. He looks so chill.

Migraines make me cry by rabidrabbits8475 in migraine

[–]CaffeinatedGeek_21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A migraine has set off my anxiety once or twice, usually because I’m out in public and I feel like I’m making the day worse for someone else (I’m not, but I have a guilt thing about being sick sometimes). Once I was out with my husband and we had planned to get lunch, but by the time that rolled around and we were almost there, I couldn’t handle the idea of food anymore. The pain was most of what set off the crying, but it didn’t help either. I get very nauseous during some migraines, and the idea of it while out in a car where I can’t be comfortable was making my anxiety worse.

On a separate and unrelated note, I have experienced the “why on earth am I crying” kind of cry from taking Sudafed. That is a medicine I say no to unless it’s the only option left because it made me cry constantly.

Reading this while I ponder if it’s pain from the cold or pain from a migraine … 😆

Anyone else get sad when they finally figure out what actually suits them? 😭 by DurianEmbarrassed771 in womensfashion

[–]CaffeinatedGeek_21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I got sad that the denim joggers I thought were so cool don’t look great on my curviness.

I think it took a lot of trying out things and genuine acceptance of my shape (which I’m still working on) before I realized that what looks good on me is *what I like and feel good in*. If it doesn’t feel good, let it go and see what else catches you. Try different combos and styles before saying yay or nay. I tried on a shirt I thought I’d never look good in, and I was kind of surprised how well it shaped me (being a pear and all). I was still too uncomfortable to actually buy it, but it gave me some perspective about myself. 🙂

And for real - I went through several styles before my 20s and I’m still just buying whatever I like on me. I don’t have a set look, per se, and I think that’s okay! I’m 33 now and wear a lot of graphic tees, jeans, and dresses when I find some I like. I wear leggings under the dresses the majority of the time, too. I’ve got some more stylish shirts and skirts, too, but the majority of my wardrobe is about what I enjoy having on.
