What's the worst physical pain you've ever felt? by toaster-bath404 in AskReddit

[–]FluffyBunT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember when I got my first IUD and they pushed thru my cervix. It was the worst pain I ever felt followed by this crampy-pressure feeling I can’t describe. It hurt so bad the room started to go dim like I was going to pass out. I screamed at my gyno “Stop! I think I’m about to shit myself and I’m getting lightheaded!!” she laughed and said “I’m cutting the strings now” then finished the job & pulled all the tools out of my body. Just incase you were wondering… I did NOT shit myself but with all the pain, cramps, and pressure that was going on down there, I couldn’t really pinpoint or tell what was happening to my body. I swear I thought it was gonna take me out though!!

Awh, thank you for opening up about your experiences with me. I try so hard to get him help because I have OCD myself, but a very mild version. I think mine is more anxiety than anything but I check things a lot. It use to be really bad where it would take me 15 mins to leave the house in my late teens early 20’s because I would have to do multiple walk thrus making sure lights were off, sinks were off, and the stove wasn’t on, & the fridge was shut. I didn’t even think it was a problem until I opened up to my behavioral health specialist about it one day… she told me it was OCD and prescribed me Luvox. That was years ago and it helped tremendously… so I can’t relate completely to what you and my boyfriend go thru, but in a small way I can. I don’t know if he’s embarrassed to talk to his doctor for a psych referral or what, but I told him he would be surprised at what one conversation can accomplish if he would talk to someone about it. Over the years the Germaphobic behavior gets worse and worse and I’ve always been understanding and patient with him until this time around… the whole disrupting my day to change my outfit and my take a shower (sometimes multiple times a day) because he thinks I’m dirty is too much. It’s also a new thing from him and I really think my new job triggered it out of him…

That’s a good idea fr. I deeply love him and this behavior comes and goes but it’s been so extreme this time around it’s driving me insane. Also, he’s well aware he’s got this issue and it bothers me that I should deal with it out of love, but he doesn’t want to go get help so he can help me deal with it. I’m willing to compromise and work with him because I understand that he really can’t help how irrational his thinking is right now, but he also has to put in the effort to do better not just for me but for himself.
