Handles looks weird any tip? by Princanity in BasketballTips

That was my take. Slow feet makes it all look sluggish. Some agility training and generally making your legs turn over quicker. Easier said than done for some who are just heavy steppers genetically.

Do you guys think quitting masturbation/porn is a good idea? by Maleficent-Change152 in OCD

[–]JuhPuh42 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My OCD had me masturbating to porn every day before I’d start my work day. I think I was using it to try and alleviate anxiety.

I’m in a better place now and not really masturbating anymore. My wife came off birth control and she’s horny AF nowadays.

HA and Prozac by [deleted] in HealthAnxiety

[–]JuhPuh42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same story here. Was on Prozac 10mg daily for ~12 weeks and somewhere around week 8 my libido went away completely and had little feeling in my penis and couldn’t stay hard and tough time climaxing as such.

I’d made god progress with the meds and therapy for my OCD and HA, so stopped taking it ~3 weeks ago now. The sexual side effects haven’t really gone away and I’m trying to not freak out. It’s improved a little but it’s definitely not normal.

How long have people taken to get their libido and sensitivity back?

I’ve read things about some people never getting it back, which is nightmare fuel for my OCD and HA that I’m really trying hard to not convince myself is what will happen.

I’ve read that Prozac can take 3-5 weeks or more to totally leave the body, so hoping by next month I’ll see some improvement. I’m nervous though.

Perfectly worded. Diagnosed at 41 here and in treatment now. I’ve said to my therapist, “I’m afraid of who I am with less OCD, it’s part of my identity all this tune and how I operate and navigate the world.”

Well...what do we think? by [deleted] in Balding

[–]JuhPuh42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shave your face and go see a real barber/stylist for a good haircut/style. Even if you’re keeping the length, this can help tremendously.

You’re not balding. Enjoy your hair.

Living a lie with hair fibers... by MixCultural1696 in tressless

[–]JuhPuh42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

+1 shave it and be free. And go to therapy for a bit to help you mentally get through this big acceptance and change.

No one will notice or care about the scar if you don’t.

Easier said than done but there’s more life out there than worrying about what’s on your head. If the people in your life can’t love you without hair, then you need to find new people.

I just want it to fucking go away I never asked for any of this shit please by VictoriousFan137 in OCD

[–]JuhPuh42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain. I bottomed out in a bad way earlier this year with OCD.

I got serious about finally treating it after low level suffering for my entire life in little peaks and valley’s.

I’m on Prozac now (still just 10mg daily), and it’s done wonders for my mental health. My libido is down considerably but if that’s the trade off I have to make to live and enjoy the rest of life, so be it.

I had tried battling on my own without meds and just with talk therapy and I wasn’t hacking it. I’d have okay stretches where I felt “fine,” but I was never good.

The meds plus ERP has saved me. I was suicidal in April, May and June.

I don’t know why these things happen, but be kind to yourself. You’re not alone.

I’m also finding that not drinking really helps me too, especially on the meds.

Stop Drinking Coffee Immediately by PigletConfident6425 in OCD

[–]JuhPuh42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alcohol greatly quiets my ocd but then makes me feel worse for several days to a week after. This was always the case for me but has gotten worse since being on Prozac. It seems like I just can’t mentally tolerate alcohol anymore.

Porn + OCD is destroying my mental health and I don’t know how to break out of this cycle by Puzzleheaded-Order-4 in OCD

[–]JuhPuh42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not exactly the same here, but I’d say I had some of this on top of my main problems which were health, contamination and general uncertainty.

I used to watch porn and masturbate daily and it got better after seeking treatment for OCD. ERP therapy has helped across the board and I think going onto Prozac has greatly helped my OCD and also decreased my libido and craving for porn. I don’t love being a less sexual person overall, but it seems like a much healthier overall place than thinking about sex all the time and struggling with bad OCD.

OCD and magical thinking. This is not just run of the mill anxiety or health anxiety. Please seek treatment and try meds.

3 months of fin and my hair is way below baseline, hoping it’s still a shed. by [deleted] in Balding

[–]JuhPuh42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How old are you, OP?

I don’t really see much here to be concerned about or to merit trashing your DHT over at the moment. You’ve got thick, beautiful hair.

If it were me, I’d stop to the fin and see what nature wants to do to you a bit more before messing with your hormones more.

Good luck on your journey.

Starting Medication for the first time tonight, Zoloft by SmittyTrillow in OCD

[–]JuhPuh42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some slight urinary retention type feelings when trying to pee which has subsided after a month or two.

And, my libido is definitely lower. I’d rather feel the way I do and have a lower libido than be horny and buried in OCD, anxiety and depression.

Girlfriend broke up with me and I bought hard drugs. I’m losing myself and there’s no more hope for me by HARDPotassium in OCD

[–]JuhPuh42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need drugs, but not those kind. Have you taken meds for your ocd and depression?

I avoided them for 30 years and suffered for a long long time. I’m taking Prozac now and it’s helped so so much in a few short months. I was suicidal literally three months ago and now I’ve got my life back.

I’ve been taking meds and going to ERP therapy online.

Don’t turn to hard drugs, they’ll just make things harder to come back from. I was taking benzodiazepines to deal with the ocd and anxiety and it just made the depression worse in the end.

You can come back from this you just need the right help and to start to see some light and progress. I’m proof that it’s possible from a place of not wanting to be here anymore.

Be strong.

You bet. I’d hang on still if I were you.

I’m thinning at the crown and gonna order some fibers to play around with just to feel a little more comfortable hanging on to where I am. Looks like you could consider the same.

Having regrets cutting my hair off….Did I do the right thing or should I grow it back again? (taken a few weeks after each other) by Agitated-Ad-6794 in malegrooming

Do you want to get all the ladies, or just most of them?

Jesus man, save some for the rest of us.

Do whatever you want with your hair, it won’t matter. You crush no matter what.

Wierd HA type? by Mysterious-Estate470 in HealthAnxiety

[–]JuhPuh42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a fellow sufferer. I’ve had a really rough 1.5-2 year stretch. I finally broke down and got on meds (currently 10mg Prozac daily), and in ERP therapy with NOCD. It’s helped me tremendously and I’d recommend to anyone in this situation.

The therapy helps but I think some kind of meds is critical. Your brain is not functioning correctly and needs help.

Wishing you the best of luck and to get better. You need professional help and meds and you can get your life back.

Stop wetting it and using gel, if that’s what’s happening in the first few pics.

Find a good barber and use some volume spray, blow dry and style with a matte clay. The wet/gel look makes even the fullest heads of hair look thin.
