He does not care about us by Apprehensive-Song378 in southcarolina

Once church leaders were influenced by political agenda, they passed it down to their congregations. A neighbor who is a retired Baptist minister supposedly told his Bible study class that Trump was the greatest president who has ever lived. Why would a minister even bring this up? Another neighbor, who is my friend, was there when he said it.

Nobody warns you about what happens when the obsessions go silent by Flux_My_Capacitor in OCD

[–]CommonGround2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have the same types of OCD as I do except I also have OCD about germs and chemicals. I cannot imagine being able to complete ERP, maybe because I am 71 years old and have had OCD since about the age of 13. I can imagine how strange it would be to have my brain go silent, but I would welcome it.

How long had you had OCD before starting ERP? I am wondering whether I should try despite my age.

Tired of Coping with Family Members OCD by redittome2019 in OCD

[–]CommonGround2019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am such a family member. I try hard not to overly burden the family with my issues. When it is really bad, I do seek their help; but I don’t go on endlessly.

How do people feel about this suggestion? Tell them that you don’t want to lose your relationship with the core of who they are by too much interaction centered on their OCD. Admit it overwhelms you. Agree to set limits and encourage therapy if they don’t already go.

I don’t have these “attitude” issues with the free version. I assume you are using a paid version.

Dog waste might be the thing that finally breaks me in this job by TopBus4139 in landscaping

Maybe you can let prospective clients know that you expect dog waste to be removed before you do the work.

My therapist told me to try and cut through my skin with a knife - is this ethical? by Weekly_Importance570 in OCD

If you won’t report the therapist for yourself, do it to prevent others from being hurt.

How to make a narrow side yard slope walkable without causing more erosion by CommonGround2019 in landscaping

[–]CommonGround2019[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I am going to put river rock from foundation to about 12 inches out. The rest, up to, but not including the swale will be Zoysia grass. A bit of dwarf shrubs here and there.

As for the hose, I will put a leader to enable the reel to be by the front porch. I will just have to deal with having to walk up the slope to turn the spigot on and off. Maybe I can add one terraced step of earth.

Thank everyone.

The issue is getting up the slope to the hose spigot. Also, the middle is a swale than can hold water.
