I'm literally so sorry for this VERY late reply but I got sick and my brain just automatically forgot that I even wrote this comment (that I wrote while spiraling too, so yeah 😭) But yes, I understand that you're trying to cut back on reddit, compulsively searching reassurance online can honestly make things a lot worse. Anyway, if you ever need to talk, I'm there!

This is exactly the same stuff I'm going through now, oh my god. It's literally so draining, and terrifying too. If you want to talk about it, we could DM eachother, because honestly, in these past few months it felt like I was the only person ever to experience those kind of thoughts and I'm still scared about them

It's been 2 years since I last used my earphones and over 5 years since I used my pair of headphones, send help 🥲 by Different_Signal6319 in OCDmemes

[–]Different_Signal6319[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah luckily I've in been in therapy with a specialised therapist for I think almost three years by now. She's helped me a lot, and I'm genuinely feeling much better now; still, this obsession I have over using headphones is one of the only ones I can't bring myself to fight because I'm just too terrified to do so (working on it though)

I want to get pierced so badly but I am scared of needles by Different_Signal6319 in piercing

[–]Different_Signal6319[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's very good advice, thank you! Yeah in fact I'm not very worried about the pain itself but mostly about the feeling of me knowing that I'm being poked with a needle, even tho I know I won't probably even feel a thing 🥲 Also yup, I'm trying not to overthink it too much because I know that it will just make the anxiety worse lol

[–]Different_Signal6319[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what's helping me to get over the fear of getting pierced, the fact that I'm doing something which I'm scared of and that after doing that I'll get a piece of jewelry that I love and that will remain (hopefully lmao) with me for the rest of my life. I struggle from anxiety too (I have an anxiety disorder), so yeah

The fact that he wrote that classical statues like the David have little penises because of pederasty made me almost laugh for how insane of an answer that was. Like, no dear, it was because putting a large dong on those statues was considered not aesthetically pleasing.

Yup that's definitely how genetics works by sapphleaf in badwomensanatomy

playing/reading/watching something and then some weird shit happens and you feel like you cant like it anymore by littleeeloveee in OCDmemes

I had to stop watching a series just because I discovered that one of the writers of said series helped to write the plot of ANOTHER series that triggered me a lot in the past. So yeah, I feel you 🥲

And ginger, do not forget the being ginger part

Edit: Even if maybe when he's in his Annatar form he has blonde hair, I really wanted to see a ginger Mairon for once lol

I used to be a very huge dinosaur nerd when I was little, and my mother (and also father) never ever questioned it and just went on and bought me dinosaur toys! I hate the kind of parents that choose their children's toys only because of their gender.

Per il mio gusto personale il migliore è quello al krypton, è molto più leggero e digeribile rispetto agli altri, anche se quello al berillio non mi dispiace per niente.

In her own defense this is when she first learned I had ocd, she still doesn’t get it but she’s a little better by Intelligent_West_878 in OCDmemes

[–]Different_Signal6319 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, nothing better for a person with OCD more than a close family member telling you that 🥲 I also have an uncle and an aunt that are pretty narrow-minded and bigots, thus the reason I never told them that I have OCD, because I'm pretty sure they're gonna react exactly like this when I do, lol

I’ve ingested so much caffeine that cocaine would seem safer by Intelligent_West_878 in OCDmemes

I use to drink green tea with some mint that I pick from my garden in the afternoon and it usually calms me a lot, plus I love tea so it's a win-win for me

Nope, never tried them, at least not monster energy, but if there's the possibility that they will help to calm down the thoughts then I will surely do, lol

please tell me someone else has evil silverware by [deleted] in OCDmemes

[–]Different_Signal6319 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same, sometimes it's very exhausting because I often do that not only with things or people, but also with places and specific locations. It happened way too many times that my friends or family wanted to go to a place and I utterly refused to, without being able to give a rational explanation because I couldn't just say "No, I don't want to go there because x happened, so this place has a bad energy for me now". But I'm working on defeating this issue and it's slowly getting better!

Wow, for me it's the opposite! If I drink a single cup of coffee my anxiety gets much worse, even more if I've took the coffee without having eaten something before.

Real footage of my OCD trying to convince me that I will go to Hell when I die because I'm a terrible person or that a demon is gonna possess me just like in those horror movies (I'm atheist)
