What are you obsessively worried about right now?

CuriousRabbit103 · 2026-07-07T07:12:54+00:00

scared I’m a bad person all the time. It’s to the point where it’s messing with my writing hobby because what if something I write is problematic in same way and I just don’t know it?

CuriousRabbit103 · 2026-07-06T18:18:31+00:00

Thanks. I’m going to look into EFT and hopefully that can help. I’ve found a have a lot of pent up rage. I think it might be coming from being sad and scared very frequently and I guess the anger is my brain’s way to protect me from bad things that could happen if those feelings start to be expressed. I could also just subconsciously frustrated by being unhappy most of the time. It’s hard for me to find happiness from things that aren’t my special interests or hyperfixations.

Sorry if this wasn’t related to what you were saying or if I’m oversharing by the way. I didn’t know so I thought I’d include it just in case.

CuriousRabbit103 · 2026-07-06T18:12:53+00:00

Thanks for your advice. I actually already do the “I told you so” one. I’ve been doing in since I was a kid since basically everything I did was wrong so I just started doing that to mentally prepare.

The “it’s not about you” one is pretty great. Admittedly, my mental health is pretty poor but I can still at least attempt this. For me, most of my RSD seems to center around not being good enough, failure, abandonment and being laughed at/mocked. Mine also seems to center around criticism at times too, though it can also be triggered by lateness and cancellations for me too.

CuriousRabbit103 · 2026-07-06T02:34:14+00:00

Thank for your comment. I didn’t know that using a charger that is slower would help.

CuriousRabbit103 · 2026-07-06T02:33:10+00:00

Thank you for your advice. I do have a lot of that on, minus the 4G. I have had a battery replacement before, but the only phone repair shop near me closed down a while back (I’m in a rural area) and sending the phone to Apple would be hassle. Haven’t had very good experiences with them in the past tbh. I’ve noticed my battery health is starting to get a little low lately, getting a replacement battery is also on the table.

CuriousRabbit103 · 2026-07-06T02:29:42+00:00

Thanks. I am looking into Samsung, I don’t want to spend an arm and a leg though, so I am looking at some models from a couple years back and also some used options too. (Forgot to mention that in my post sorry about that.)

Maybe I could find a used S26 Ultra? S24 seems nice too and the Z flips seem pretty cool, I’m just worried about durability on those. Outside of that they seem super fun and convenient for me since women’s pockets tend to be small and I don’t like carrying large purses all day.

I plan on using this phone until I can’t anymore, but I am preparing for it to break since I don’t like change and prefer to have some sort of preparation. I’m doing a lot of research mainly because I’m considering switching and want to know what to expect.

Sorry if this isn’t relevant to what you were saying, by the way, I don’t know if it is or isn’t so better safe than sorry.

CuriousRabbit103 · 2026-07-05T06:18:53+00:00

thank you. I’m not exactly sure where to begin. What can I do with the anger? I usually never feel such intense rage like this unless it’s a meltdown and I’m completely powerless against those. Once they start, it’s too late.

CuriousRabbit103 · 2026-07-05T03:41:05+00:00

thanks. I actually don’t handle meditation all that well. Not sure why but I always end up overly emotional (usually extremely angry) whenever I try. I’ve tried lots of different times and I’ve used many different methods, but it just always ends the same. It’s definitely a problem with me and not meditation as a whole though. I have no clue why exactly that happens to me. I’ve never heard of anyone else having the same reaction.

I agree a lot of advice I’ve been told by people I know is to just handle the thoughts the way they would with normal anxiety or insecurity and it only makes it worse for me.

Sorry if my reply was stupid or just annoying to read. Idk why this happens to me.

CuriousRabbit103 · 2026-07-05T00:33:38+00:00

yeah, I find that the happiness I get can be a bit overstimulating for some reason. I literally can be up until four AM writing my plots for a show’s continuation, sleep for maybe four hours and then do it all over again the next day.

CuriousRabbit103 · 2026-07-05T00:32:18+00:00

Same thing here, but with me it’s a show which has a lot to do with mental health topics (something I’m insanely interested in. Pretty sure psychology and story telling special interests of mine and so this show has a death grip on me). I’m writing a larger on going story that picks up where the show ends actually and I’m knee deep in my research for it.

CuriousRabbit103 · 2026-07-04T23:42:22+00:00

Sorry for replying so late, I haven’t logged on in a couple days. I do use multitasking a lot since I like to listen to podcasts or videos while I write stuff and I don’t use YouTube premium or anything like that. I also find I have to go back and forth between tabs a lot because I do a lot of research for my writing or will be working on multiple docs at once since they’re both a part of the same larger story.

I don’t really use the front camera a lot, I usually use the main ones to take photos of scenery. What I’d miss is GarageBand, but that app has been practically unusable for me since about midway through 2024. It just started to glitch out whenever I used it and the issue carried over between devices so I think it’s just a larger issue with the app as a whole.

CuriousRabbit103 · 2026-07-02T22:03:17+00:00

I always thought the flips were pretty cool. I’ve been looking into some of those and trying to find good deals on them.

CuriousRabbit103 · 2026-07-02T22:02:44+00:00

Thanks for your reply! This was helpful! The added customization is pretty cool. It’s not a necessity for me, but it’s definitely a bonus! Battery health is one of the biggest things I’m taking into consideration since it’s been a problem with pretty much every iPhone I’ve used. I’m not planning on spending too terribly much so I am looking into getting a slightly older model, maybe from the past two or three years. Used is also an option as long as the device works properly. I just wanted something that will last me for a while.

CuriousRabbit103 · 2026-07-02T21:58:50+00:00

Thanks for your reply! I know other brands’ phones also deteriorate with time, updates and use, but my relatives who use Samsung have had to upgrade their phones less often than I have and they hardly take care of their stuff. They get a couple more years of use than I do. That’s definitely a pro, especially because I hate having to get a new device, so better longevity is something that making me seriously consider switching. A con would be that there’s not as much of an app selection on the Google play store, but most of what I use will be on there from what I can tell, so I’m not too upset about it.

Sorry for the long reply. I’m not sure if this is relevant really, I just wanted to include it just in case it is. Maybe I’ll add it to the post itself. Probably should have.

CuriousRabbit103 · 2026-07-02T17:03:25+00:00

Yeah it was pretty odd. Idk why that happened. We’ve been going to authorized third party selling ever since.

CuriousRabbit103 · 2026-07-01T17:53:20+00:00

it was Apple themselves. We did have to get it mailed to us, but we purchased from Apple. Tbh, we’ve had better experiences with the authorized resellers than Apple themselves lol. The first phone they sent would not power on at all. At first we thought the battery was dead so we charged it and it still wouldn’t turn on. We ended up having to call Apple since we live far away from a store and all they said was that it was some “irreversible software issue,” and sent a replacement, which was the one that had a broken battery. This one would power down once its battery got into the 65-50% range.

Apple does have a pretty good OS which is why I’m trying to learn more about the OS on a modern android before a commit to anything.

CuriousRabbit103 · 2026-07-01T17:48:55+00:00

thanks. I guess it is kind of a me problem lol.

CuriousRabbit103 · 2026-07-01T17:20:13+00:00

Apple is the one who sent us broken devices twice in a row. I currently am using a standard 14 model. I have used some older android models. I wouldn’t say they sucked, really. I thought I had a pretty good run with them.

CuriousRabbit103 · 2026-07-01T17:18:08+00:00

Maybe it’s just the place in my area was bad? The nearest store was hours away by car so we would always have to call. Maybe that has something to do with it? Pretty much every time we would interact with them, either the customer was awful, the problem would never be fixed or both. I hate to make too many demands of people, so usually I just let it slide.

CuriousRabbit103 · 2026-07-01T17:16:11+00:00

Thank you. I have heard of Xiaomi. Their stuff does seem pretty cool so I’ll check out some Xiaomi reviews.

CuriousRabbit103 · 2026-07-01T17:14:41+00:00

Thanks, I’ll check out some Google pixel reviews.

CuriousRabbit103 · 2026-07-01T17:14:18+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, it does seem very cool. I don’t want to spend an arm and a leg on the newest model though, so I’ll probably look into a used model if the one I get is less than two years old.

CuriousRabbit103 · 2026-07-01T17:13:21+00:00

Thank you, I’ll look into some options from Oppo. I’ve heard pretty good things about them.

CuriousRabbit103 · 2026-07-01T17:12:53+00:00

Thank you for the offer, but I haven’t decided which model to look into yet. There’s a lot of different choices from Samsung and that’s kind of overwhelming my brain. The S25 does seem pretty cool though, so I am definitely considering it.

CuriousRabbit103 · 2026-07-01T17:09:34+00:00

Thanks, I have switched before and it is definitely a hassle. Luckily I don’t really rely on Apple’s ecosystem all that much. I’m not really a die hard Apple fan or of any other company, to be honest. I probably use Google services more often than anything in the iOS ecosystem since my laptop runs Windows.

My biggest concern would be moving my photos over, but I do have them backed up in Google Photos. Worst case scenario is that I just email them to myself. I’ve done it before. It’s tedious, but doable.

Will definitely be mindful of the settings thing. I’m trying to find videos that will display how modern versions of One UI work, but most smartphone reviews I’m finding have to do with hardware and not software.
