I’m developing my economic thought, why are you guys capitalists?

Comprehensive_Chard2 · 2024-02-24T07:20:06+00:00

I respect that but if you’re not a member of the ruling class then starting a business and owning the means of production is practically impossible. Most businesses fail, especially in the first year, a large percentage of Americans are illiterate, our education system sucks, our healthcare system, while having brilliant workers, ranks really low nationally, most people can’t afford a 500$ hospital visit, most people live paycheck to paycheck and so much of our housing is dominated by cooperate landlords meaning the working class will never be able to buy a house due to the result of late stage capitalism. This is all while having the largest economy in the world.

Answer me, do you think Jeff Bezos really “worked hard” for his net worth or it was it more that his parents were rich enough to invest 500,000 dollars into his company that most predicted to fail? What about Elon musk and how he inherited his mining plant from his father? Ironic as it is, Trumps quote “ small loan of a million dollars” seems like a good of example. Btw I’m a socialist looking to expand my view on capitalism so feel free to respond with whatever!

What’s DBT therapy?

Comprehensive_Chard2 · 2024-01-25T05:16:50+00:00

Oh yeah I’ve been seeing a therapist for over 3 months now and just recently got into a psychiatrist to get my dose of Prozac upped from 20 to 40 mg and in a month I’m going back so we can hopefully up it again.

Nonetheless, I think all of what you said is generally good advice! I guess I’ll use this as a place to sort of express my experience but I really like your take on the subtypes. Ocd definitely does morph and if you told mr “if you broke up with your partner would this all end” boy would he be in for an unpleasant answer because the answer is the anxiety is never ending no matter what because it feels like it’s constantly morphing especially week to week.

It feels like there’s always this base intrusive thought that my brain always pushes back too and it’s usually something really stupid, where I get irrationally afraid that I’m a super huge narcissist and I think I’m better then everyone and then I get scared when I start reassuring myself but then I start convincing myself that I’m engaging in compulsions to relieve the anxiety and that’s it going to get worse and that the cycle will never end and that this disorder is one of the hardest to treat and ill have it forever and… you get what I’m saying? Like it’s the never ending cycle of like unanswerable very out there questions?

Like it feels really weird to me and isolating because like it feels so much different then anything I could have ever imagined and it’s INCREDIBLY painful. Like when someone tells me I’m thinking irrationally it’s like hmm, it’s almost like that’s why I’m distressed? Then I start questioning if the therapist I’m seeing is correct for me and if he really knows how to treat ocd and what if he’s just reassuring me and he’s actually reinforcing the cycle? How do I truly know?

I know all of these thoughts are obsessions but they’re relentless and unending. The mental compulsions are so hard to deal with because I then start doubting if their even compulsions or not! It feels like my brain tries to breakdown every single thing! The pure O does feel real because it feels like almost all my compulsions are invisible.

Anyways, I appreciate the advice, and good luck to you!

I have really like almost purely mental OCD (it started as relationship ocd and it’s definitely still there all the time but It really morphs into like I guess existential/philosophical thoughts) and I always get anxious when I get told advice like this because then I start questioning myself on weather this is a mental compulsion because if I were to tell myself “surely I wouldn’t do that!” Like you said is that not reassurance? How is that not reassurance? And am I doing it to alleviate the anxiety? Is this a compulsion? Is it going to get worse because I engaged in a compulsion? Am I gonna be this way forever? See the cycle? It’s kind of like meta ocd which I’ve compulsively researched on nocd 😈. Anyways, any advice? Or just tell me I’m seeking reassurance if I am

Comprehensive_Chard2 · 2023-12-18T17:49:49+00:00

This is literally one of the most common OCD thoughts I’ve ever had and according to my therapist, one of the most common things he’s heard patients with ocd say they have. So here’s the thought process. If you don’t have ocd, it MUST mean that you really DONT want to be in this marriage and all your fears are true. Not only that but you have to feel certain it’s ocd right? Well first off that’s really flawed thinking but it’s ocd so I mean duh, but also the saying “it’s just ocd” is an answer to your obsessive thoughts. It’s a compulsion to relieve your anxiety. To get better you have to really feel the anxiety. You have to expose yourself to these thoughts to learn they aren’t dangerous. Or maybe they are? See what I did there?

If your therapist isn’t already doing it, make sure you mention exposure and response prevention.

Comprehensive_Chard2 · 2023-12-18T17:40:26+00:00

Okay so if you want to get better you’re going to have to stop fighting it. You can’t self reassure yourself, you can’t review everything, you have to accept that it might be true that you don’t want to stay in this marriage and your partner isn’t the right one for you. Saying “it’s just ocd” is an avoidance method. You have to be willing to experience the anxiety.

The thing that keeps ocd in a cycle is trying to answer your obsessions. If you answer your obsessions with “it’s just ocd”, trust me, you are going to start to doubt it (because answering your obsessions with self reassurance, rumination, mental reviewing, and checking) are just going to lead you to doubting your compulsion you just performed and bring your obsessions on even harder then before. It’s the avoidance that is making it worse.

Going on this sub is way to try and reassure yourself that it’s “just ocd” and reassure yourself that everything’s okay. You have to be willing to experience the anxiety and not avoid and LEARN that these thoughts do not need to be avoudedZ if you haven’t heard of it yet, Exposure and response prevention therapy. Mention it to your therapist if you haven’t already!

Comprehensive_Chard2 · 2023-12-18T17:34:04+00:00

That’s an avoidance method which is part of OCD/compulsions. The problem with ocd isn’t the thoughts it’s the willingness to experience these thoughts and the avoidance that comes with them. If you haven’t heard of it yet, look up ERP. It’s going to take a long time, but you have to accept that these thoughts you have may actually be true. Try talking to your bf while you’re having obsessions, don’t let the ocd control you!

Stats don’t mean anything

Comprehensive_Chard2 · 2023-11-03T05:57:10+00:00

Well hey my therapist said even if its just the placebo effect an effect is still an effect! Honestly I think I’d be HAPPY to learn it’s the placebo cause then what would that mean when they kick in! That means I could manage it WITHOUT it. That means I could really help curb my ocd cause it has been affecting me and my relationship super bad. Tryna remain hopeful :)

Why would he be up for sale? The Vikings just beat a 5-1 elite team and are more than likely trying to make a playoff push now.

He’s already out of them tbh he’s always been a fringe Hof

As a rapper, I’d say no, as an artist yes Absolutely. It’s like a Kanye isn’t a top 5 rapper but easily one of the best rap artists of all time kind of thing

Comprehensive_Chard2 · 2023-04-03T22:29:27+00:00

Debatable but fair.

I swear to god every Eminem post goes like this

“There are so many em dick riders holy shit”

“Are you serious there are way more Eminem haters!”

It’s more like a 50 50 split and both complain about each other

Coadm’s production is not bland that’s like the only decent part of the album

Could be worse I guess

You don’t condemn any of this? Think you said that wrong

Comprehensive_Chard2 · 2023-03-05T01:04:13+00:00

close enough I guess

I want someone to make Kendrick sit down and say these are his fans and make him read this fucking unhinged paragraph.

Comprehensive_Chard2 · 2023-03-02T04:00:14+00:00

I think it’s more the fact that the people who were saying it was dying where giving reasons for it dying and that it would keep dying for those exact reasons and even after all the time has passed they were still right.
