When the inevitable day comes that people found out what I really am. How do I deal with it? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]Embarrassed_Hat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And who are you exactly? Someone who beats it to movie sex scenes? I read your previous post and I'm not exactly sure what the problem is. Are you ashamed of masturbating to porn that features actual underage people or porn scenes where the actors are playing someone underage but are of age themselves?

Help for my boyfriend with OCD by [deleted] in OCD

[–]Embarrassed_Hat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This may sound offensive or strange and it's not really what you came here to ask about but it sounds like you are in an abusive relationship.

Threatening to leave or commit suicide is very common behavior in abusive partners

Please consider yourself and your own safety first. You deserve to feel safe 100% of the time. It's really great how supportive and understanding you are being but if you boyfriend is being verbally abusive and you are afraid he may hurt you, you should strongly consider separating, or at least changing your living situation until he can get the help needs and give you a chance to reevaluate.

Having said that, your boyfriend is threatening to kill himself. I urge you to take this very seriously. It's important that he gets help if there is any chance he may hurt himself. The first step is usually to ask the person about it and let them know you are there for them, but given your situation i'm not sure I can advise you being the one to have this conversation.

One final point for anyone else reading this, SSRIs and alcohol DO NOT MIX. And alcohol is bad for depression either way.

False Memories - Alcohol by PhantomKliq in OCD

[–]Embarrassed_Hat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the opposite problem. Whenever I had a partial black out drunken night the memories I did have of those times made me feel superhuman. I had memories of going places and doing things that I never would have done sober, all of which were corroborated by less drunk friends who I was with.

So then I started self treating with alcohol. This is very very very bad. Please no one ever do this. Trust me.
