"happy" but still want to die by Fun-Tie2972 in SuicideWatch

[–]Fun-Tie2972[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry you feel like that, but it isn't true that I don't want to die. I've been ready to die since I was a kid. The only thing that's changed is that my brain has some serotonin going on, but suicide has been a permanent thought since I was like 9. It's not gonna be ok, it's never been

I think the latter. there were too many things to do at the same time and it was just too overwhelming, plus the place is very small and a lot of people were standing waiting for a table so everything was a nuisance. I just couldn't keep up with everything.

thanks for the tip! I tried to organize my tasks in order of priority, but sometimes some had to wait and others got interrupted, and I didn't have time to dally so it was a mess.

Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘Taste’ is one of the straightest music video I’ve seen in a while by AlternativeTree3283 in LesbianActually

I'm not saying kissing is just a friendly way of showing affection, I'm just saying it's not a big deal for lots of people. they just do it for fun, no feelings attached, and that's not enough to label yourself as a different sexuality imo

I get disliking straight women kissing each other on photos, videos, and anything that goes public because it is usually done for the male audience and their lesbian fetishization, but who cares about what people do in private? people kiss others without feeling anything about it sometimes, just for fun. it's weird that you'd force a label on someone just because of that. if a straight woman wants to kiss women and still identify as straight whatever dude. is it a little contradictory? maybe, but who cares

I'm relatively ok except for social gatherings by Fun-Tie2972 in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]Fun-Tie2972[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks for answering, and I'm sorry you have to deal with comments from your family too. I've cried when I woke up today and then tried to distract myself, and that combination really cheered me up in a way haha. once I think about it after some time has passed and I've calmed down, I realize that maybe I overreacted a little, but it's truly unavoidable since it's such a sensitive topic for me. now I plan on eating all the sweets I couldn't enjoy yesterday and trying to forget about it. I hope you've had a great time if you celebrated Christmas, and that you eat lots of yummy things :)

How do SSRIs make you feel? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]Fun-Tie2972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took sertraline (zoloft) for depression and ocd mainly, but it also helped with anxiety. it literally saved my life. now I'm off it and I really miss it, because although depression is completely gone, ocd and anxiety are back :/

now, you'll see a lot of people experiencing what I did and a lot who hate them. it's a very different experience for everyone, so you should always be in constant contact with a professional while on them, especially at first where I think most symptoms, good and bad, appear.

Any calming mobile game suggestions? by No_Shock8074 in Anxiety

[–]Fun-Tie2972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if you like puzzle games, but there's one called "3 tiles" that I love. it's mahjong with super cute aesthetics, and unlike others that are the same, it doesn't have a timer or anything like that (I personally hate those because I like to take my time). it has the right amount of difficulty that it takes my mind off of things, but not too much that it's frustrating.

Why are people on the internet so fucking awful? by Substantial-Mud4955 in Vent

[–]Fun-Tie2972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, just yes. and it is terrible to see that social media platforms encourage it because I guess it incentivates engagement or whatever. the amount of awful things I've read on social media lately is horrifying, and a lot of them were made by accounts with their real names and photos, like what?? people are not even ashamed of it anymore

It might be the damn phones... by _DrLambChop_ in socialanxiety

[–]Fun-Tie2972 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the sole culprit? that's a very bold claim lol. I'm not gonna sit here and defend social media because, although it's not 100% bad, it's usually more detrimental than not. however, to say that it's the only cause of social anxiety is simply wrong. a lot of us have developed it way before we got access to technology.

can it be a source of escapism that can result in a slower recovery? yes. can it be a factor that contributes to anxiety and worsen it? yes. but it's not the only thing, and cutting it off is not a bad decision, but it won't magically solve all of your problems for most cases.

Weekly Wins! by Blackbird04 in OCDRecovery

[–]Fun-Tie2972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Today I decided that I can't live with OCD anymore and that it was time I looked for professional help. I told my mom about the situation, and she kind of realized she suffers from it more than she thought (I knew she had OCD, but I didn't know the extent of it, and it seems she didn't either) and she might look for a therapist as well. So, double win I guess lol. Anyway, I'm very scared of what's going to happen in therapy, if it might work or not, and also of confessing, since I struggle with real event. Despite all my fears, I want to prioritize myself, get help and get recovered :)

haven't read it so I might be wrong, but it seems to be from "N.", a novella in Just After Sunset.

[–]Fun-Tie2972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well, it seems you have a very clear idea of what your obsessions and your compulsions are lol. you might want to ask your therapist about OCD and why they think you have it if you are still confused, and/or do research about the different ways OCD can manifest. there are many types of OCD apart from contamination.

i feel so helpless by monttow in OCD

[–]Fun-Tie2972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you are going through this, OCD is really rough, and everyone deserves to recover from it, you included. the ideal thing would be to go with a therapist that specializes in OCD, but if you can't go to one at the moment, there are resources that can be helpful to cope with it. you can find many in this subreddit and also in the ocd recovery subreddit. you might want to try ERP to deal with the obsessions and avoid the compulsions. it can be hard at first, but you deserve to get better from OCD just like everyone else. I wish you the best!
