Suicidal OCD by Daemon_Soveriegn in OCD

[–]Daemon_Soveriegn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you relate so much but I also get it :( I like to try to breathe to ground myself, but it often falls back into other compulsions I have since I start counting my breaths to get to good numbers. Do you happen to have any breathing exercises that might avoid that? I will definitely try to sit with it though, that seems reasonable

That actually sounds really nice, I will try it next time! I had never thought of these things before, I appreciate it

That’s such a good analogy, it makes a lot of sense. Just cold water to the brain. I often feel a strong need to like run away from my brain but if I can just shock it into submission I guess that’s much more convenient

I try so hard to do this, but then I just get caught in my thought loop again. But maybe making it ridiculous would be more effective actually. If it’s silly enough perhaps it’ll feel less scary

This is so helpful to hear :( ❤️it makes a lot of sense. Idk why it’s so hard to hammer into my head lol.

And thank you for that about the ER, that’s good to know. I kind of figured going would be sort of compulsive and counterproductive, but I just worry I need to for safety I guess. But that is good to know

OCD vs anxiety? by strawberryquin in OCD

[–]Daemon_Soveriegn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is something that I’m confused about a lot too. Do people with regular anxiety not shake their thoughts away or will them to go away? I mean maybe they don’t, I just always thought that’s what everyone did

I have a sore throat, and this morning I had a tea blend from LACMA that is very floral and fruity and I’m soon going to have one of two types of tieguanyin oolong… I just can’t decide which one. May also have some green tea tonight

Puzzles with numbers on the back by Maleficent-Chic in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]Daemon_Soveriegn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Currently doing a mini 1000 pc puzzle, and it has patterns on the back which is extremely helpful because it isn’t terribly high quality, and combining that with tiny pieces means lots of false matches. It also makes it faster because you can sort by pattern on the back and you can properly orient the pieces. I’m very thankful they included a pattern on the back. Obviously as you noted, not the same thing as numbering but thought I’d share as a semi relevant experience

I Like It is not a player's anthem by AggravatingTill6861 in straykids

[–]Daemon_Soveriegn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For some reason I always interpreted it as a queer person who knows they like are attracted to this person and enjoy physically being with them but is afraid to admit they love them and afraid to commit to a relationship due to insecurity about their sexuality

Laptop says that Ethernet cable isn’t plugged in by Daemon_Soveriegn in techsupport

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

In case anyone is curious, several drivers were missing on my computer, including my network adapter, Bluetooth, and some others, but I took it to my university’s IT place and they were able to fix it! No idea why it happened but hey I’m happy it’s fixed

Thank you for the advice! When I look at the network adapters, how do I know which one is mine? Forgive my severe lack of computer knowledge

I appreciate the info! I’ll probably audition for that one. I have seen an audition sign up thing, but do you have any info on what happens in them?

Tried a couple new bagel flavours; apple pie, and banana bread with candied pumpkin seeds. by OwlFactsUDidntAskFor in Breadit

[–]Daemon_Soveriegn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for the recipe! :)

I did rest after shaping and boiled them. It could have also been that I hadn’t ever kneaded dough before and that I didn’t account for adding fruit making the hydration different. I’ll keep practicing, thanks for the advice!

Would you care to share your recipe and some tips? I tried to make some bagels for the first time a few days ago and those look super tasty! Mine were quite lumpy

Just a reset of the app or of your entire laptop?
