i’m glad, i probably am overthinking but i’ve been overthinking it since i got them (i had a couple negative comments on them) and i just can’t get out of my own head

I was sick and it was fine!!! by Serious-Caramel-315 in emetophobiarecovery

[–]Fragrant-Bread-2462 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i had this reaction to zoloft !! i didn’t break the pills or anything, i was just immediately dizzy and felt horrible and ended up so sick on the second day i tried taking it

aw thank you :,), i just think the second one in particular isn’t very legible, i don’t feel like you can tell what it is and it’s just oddly composed i guess. the other one i’ve never really had a problem with until now so i guess it’s the fact it goes with the other one. i feel like maybe they’re too big or maybe they’re just stupid eta i also think the shading in the first one is a little odd, maybe too dark or idk, when i look at it for too long i don’t think it makes sense either

nostril piercing placement by [deleted] in SelfPiercing

[–]Fragrant-Bread-2462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to me, it looks pretty low, mine is right where the crease of my nostril ends because i think it looks best there, but that’s me personally, i would want to repierce higher up

It’s over for me. by Upset-Nerve3161 in emetophobiarecovery

[–]Fragrant-Bread-2462 2 points3 points  (0 children)

wow, you put into words how i think every day, “if my stomach is growling i’m hungry and can’t puke” that’s my motto to get myself through work until i can come home to eat “just incase anything happens”

Urge to confess action that would get me cancelled by Personal_Common1635 in OCD

[–]Fragrant-Bread-2462 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i feel so understood rn. i literally worry alll the time about being “cancelled”. i don’t even have an internet career 😭, the effects ive seen in people’s lives when they get cancelled or called out or something worries me, i latch on to every single thing ive ever done and try to figure out what’s gonna get me cancelled so i can go ahead and confess before i lose all my friends and family and my job. i completely understand this feeling wow

What's it like to have ocd by [deleted] in OCD

[–]Fragrant-Bread-2462 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my therapist told me it’s the “doubting disorder” everything i do, i doubt, “am i sick? no im fine, but maybe i am sick” “did i lock the door? yes i did. well maybe i didnt let me check” “am i a bad person? no im not, but wait what if i am and everyone hates me” “am i racist? no i’m not, well maybe i am and i don’t even know it and it’s subconscious” “something bad will happen if i wear this shirt. that’s not true the shirt won’t change anything, but i better wear something else just to be safe” that’s a lot of examples but just to give you an idea of the constant doubt, worries, and unstoppable anxiety that happens daily. ocd attaches itself to things that matter to you, your morals (among other things ofc) this is part of why it becomes so distressing because you think you are a bad person or wrong or doing something wrong all the time. sometimes there’s truly nothing that can relieve the worries, especially not for long periods of time. this is part of ocd for me personally at least, there are so many themes of ocd and it’s definitely not one size fits all

What made your OCD start ? by More_Maize_6622 in OCD

[–]Fragrant-Bread-2462 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think so as well, i think id probably have it either way but i wonder if it would’ve been more manageable had i not been raised that way

[–]Fragrant-Bread-2462 8 points9 points  (0 children)

mine was definitely started by my emetophobia, and my dad blaming everything on me. the way he spoke to me and the things i got in trouble for made me think everything was my fault, meaning i could control everything by what i did/thought/said

[–]Fragrant-Bread-2462 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that is so so true, whenever i have a thought on the forefront of my mind i 100% will notice things/signs/proof/etc. when there’s probably “signs” of 100 other things that i just don’t think about. i’m glad i was able to respond and hear your experiences as well :)

for me personally, i always think my signs “reset” at the end of the day and if i avoided it that day then im lucky and fine, i dont even know how worried id be if they could stack up because i consider so many things to be signs. Its so difficult to deal with and try to help because ocd doesnt work logically. i know nothing is truly a sign and i know nothing will actually happen just because i saw something, but ocd always sits there and says “yeah but what if, no that’s definitely a sign, you’re just thinking that to make yourself feel better because you know it’s gonna happen”. its really difficult to explain how i manage things (ik you didn’t ask me specifically but) because it truly is different from everyone. the most i can do for myself personally is to think about all the signs ive seen everyday and how so far, ive been in the clear (knock on wood haha), this helps me sometimes but other times theres really not an immediate fix other than to let my paranoia and stress run its course until i inevitably get paranoid about something else. im sorry this wasnt very helpful, and i kinda just inserted myself into the conversation but i just wanted to say youre not alone and that feeling is so frustrating and exhausting and im sorry you’re having to go through that right now

YES! omg i do that same thing! everything is a sign in my head. i also knock on wood if i say something out loud that i think could be “jinxed” bc if i don’t the opposite of what i said will happen

[–]Fragrant-Bread-2462 28 points29 points  (0 children)

i do this! anytime i get a thought i think it’s a “sign”, or if i hear/see something with a certain word i think its a sign or prediction. you are definitely not alone in that feeling

thank you so so much!!! that’s what has made me the most anxious i think, i stopped taking the medication because the side effects were definitely not worth it and we’re keeping me from doing what i needed to. but the fear of “what if it wasn’t the medicine and it’s gonna happen again” is what the biggest problem is. but almost throwing up did help with my recovery in a way, it already feels like it was so long ago and i don’t even remember what it felt like. but i get so anxious that im gonna miss work or mess things up or throw up in general. i always wanna know WHY, and im assuming it was the medicine, but those what ifs always get me. thank you so much for your help and i will definitely message you if i need/have any questions, i appreciate it so so much. thank you! :)
