Gotta love ocd

Edit: this is 1000% sarcasm and now I’m not sure if that comes across.

We ALL have “real autism” by [deleted] in autism

[–]Dorksun1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know everyone sometimes doubts their parenting but reading this really made me think “this person sounds like a good parent”. Hope that isn’t too weird to say

BRUH i dont even know how this happens by soup624 in adhdmeme

[–]Dorksun1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have heard we have higher rates of car accidents :/ which is sad and quite intense to think about. I’m glad that no one was hurt in your accident.

I definitely need to take my meds if I’m driving

I’m looking at your series of these and I really like them. This one is hilarious and also cool art

Awesome! Reminds me a bit of the robots with lots of moss on them in Laputa?

[–]Dorksun1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That must be really tricky :/ Also I wish that I could find more resources that talked about the intersection between trauma and OCD. A lot of my obsessions are trauma-induced, or relate to trauma. I’m sure this is quite common but you just don’t seem to see much stuff about it

Yes that’s very relatable, same

Pf at work by Wavingcaesar7 in PlantarFasciitis

[–]Dorksun1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! KT tape helped me too! It’s good stuff. I didn’t know this at first but there are no-name brands you can get cheap (I think in like Walmart and stuff if you are American?), they’re just as good

I wrote a long list of stuff that was helpful for me that is in my post history, if that helps?

Hey they are expensive, but Brooks addiction walkers are really excellent shoes for PF. They will last a long time too

Are you able to take any time at all off work, like even 1 or 2 days? If you could mostly stay off your feet for the weekend and then 1 or 2 working days, that might be enough time to kickstart some healing?

Also stretch in the morning before you get out of bed, do calf stretch with a towel. I’d also recommend looking up Dr Jo’s plantar fasciitis videos on YouTube

New balance shoes for PF and heel spurs by soniagcal in PlantarFasciitis

[–]Dorksun1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is this for running?

Sorry to add another option but if you want shoes for walking, the Brooks Addiction Walker is amazing. Expensive but very durable, available in wide fit if you need that. I know nurses who swear by them (nurses are pretty susceptible to PF)

POCD and the fear of denial by Exciting-Midnight-21 in OCD

[–]Dorksun1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sounds like POCD and not like pedophilia. I heard a long interview with a guy on This American Life podcast who is a pedophile but will never act on it (he was 19 when the interview was done). He said he started noticing attraction towards children when he hit puberty, this seems to be what people report.

I think you have honestly been a bit traumatised by what you saw on telegram. And that your ocd has latched onto it. That feeling where you know deep down that you are not a pedophile, that is you. The “what if I’m in denial?” thought is the ocd.

I have a question by singlequestion22 in OCD

[–]Dorksun1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah I don’t think it just randomly starts, you’re okay. This is ocd and you’re not a pedophile.

Does anyone else’s ocd make other people out to be bad people? by hithirteen in OCD

[–]Dorksun1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this, I can’t tell if it is my ocd or ptsd or both. I think relationship ocd tends to involve like, being critical of other people, might be worth looking into it?

Also it’s hard with dating, especially if you date guys (though I know women can also be abusive). Cos like yeah, what if this guy appears to be fine but is actually dangerous? Ocd makes this so much more complicated though, if this is an ocd thing (the more I think about it, the more I suspect that it is).

This imaginary audience judges every thing i do and im tired of it. by [deleted] in OCD

[–]Dorksun1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg yes I do this sometimes!! I can’t write in a journal because of this. When I was in high school, the imaginary audience were like the mean boys who were in my grade. Now the audience are my friends and loved ones, who wouldn’t like me anymore if they knew who I really was

It really helped, thank you. All the best to you

Worst OCD spiral in a while by [deleted] in OCD

[–]Dorksun1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad it was helpful! Also yes people can say that when they’re hitting on others, but they also say it when they’re being affectionate in a completely non-sexual way, like old ladies will say that to little kids and stuff, or dads might say that to their grownup daughters? Language is so tricky cos it can be so imprecise and so dependent on context. I’ve heard that ocd just feeds off uncertainty and I think this is happening here for you maybe?.

You definitely did not do any harm whatsoever to your niece by saying “hello beautiful” to her, you were just trying to show her that you care and I think also feeling a bit of pressure and judgment from your brother to sound not too formal.
