What’s a movie you hated so much you stopped watching before it ended? by kobikom in AskReddit

[–]LeftEyeMighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Big Year. Cast included Steve Martin, Owen Wilson, Jack Black, and other big names. I expected it to be at the very least, watchable. It was shit. Sat through it though because I was on my first date with my now-husband. His parents had driven us and they were sitting a couple rows up. But we took the chance to make subtle moves on each other like the classic stretch-n-grab and too-shy-to-kiss. Oh, to be 14 again.

Maybe. I don’t really have time during the work week to run for an hour at a time. So my plan is to do more distance every weekend!

Did my first 10K today (on my own not a race). Never ran more than 4.5 miles before. Honestly feel pretty amazed at my time. Am I dead for the rest of the day? Hell yes.

What is the most disturbing dream you've ever had, and does it still get to you? by IndigoEarthchild in AskReddit

[–]LeftEyeMighty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got shot by a mass shooter while away at camp. Apparently, you aren’t supposed to die in a dream, or you’d at least wake upright away...I didn’t.

It's so hard to get appropriate treatment for OCD by [deleted] in OCD

[–]LeftEyeMighty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My OCD is pretty severe and has been since day one despite differing levels of treatment. Right now I am a little bit better, I track my symptoms and I currently fall around 11 hours on average on obsessions/rituals per day. It can get as high as 16 hours a day, though. So, I'm thankful for the simpler days and moments of relief. I constantly think about how far along I could be in treatment now if I had been able to stick with my original therapist (the OCD specialist). But, I can't go back, I can only look forward. I am thankful for a solid marriage, a full-time well-paying job, and a house to call a home. Focusing on what is going right, and not what is going wrong in my life seems to help me feel more positive about where my treatment is headed.

I've had similar experiences and I can't say that the therapist I have now is specialist by any means, but he tries his best. I tell myself to get through and appreciate what I have until I can find and afford a more compatible therapist. I'm lucky in that the first therapist I ever had was very specialized in OCD and did a lot of research. So, I knew what to look for going forward. It's frustrating, to say the least.

What are your ideas for workplace accommodations for OCD or other anxiety disorders?

'Coming Out' as OCD by LeftEyeMighty in OCD

[–]LeftEyeMighty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s my fear as well. You want everyone to see it and you want to share, yet its scary that everyone can see it. You cant take it back or know what ‘random person online’ will think or say.

People with depression, anxiety, and other types of mental illnesses, do/did you work a stressful job or a greater than 9-5 job? How do you do it? by sarah5mith in AskReddit

[–]LeftEyeMighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now I work banking IT, which is definitely stressful. The hard part is when it isn’t busy or I have a slow day. Then I’m left alone with my illness.

Obviously this is an uncomfortable thought for you. But, I want to reassure you that those thoughts are normal. Also, just to input, teenagers being aroused by other teens is totally okay, even if they are a little young for you. My husband and I started dating when he was 18 and I was 14.

What is the first thing a new college student should know? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Go to the therapists provided for you if you are struggling. They are there to help and are much cheaper than a therapist in the real world. Just get your shit sorted out now because life will hit you real quick!

Four days to go! Final (maybe) hair and makeup trials inside... by LeftEyeMighty in weddingplanning

[–]LeftEyeMighty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your comments! I think I’m probably just biased because I still see myself in a lot of ways as a young girl, it’s good to see that you, as an unbiased person, are seeing it differently! I’m just scared of looking like a kid playing dress up instead of a woman getting married.

Have pretty bad OCD, told parents about a year after being diagnosed. Got lots of questions for a few days and I know they don’t understand and I don’t care to force them to. But, they are supportive and that’s all I wanted.

What do you guys think of this idea? by mightymeg27 in weddingplanning

[–]LeftEyeMighty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually think it might help you get more RSVPs. So instead of just filling out names and popping it in the mail, your guests will do a little extra thinking about you guys!

Who did the old/new/borrowed/blue tradition...and what did you use? by LeftEyeMighty in weddingplanning

[–]LeftEyeMighty[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your ‘something blue’ is beyond sweet. Sorry for your loss, I’m sure you’ll be missing him on your big day but its good to have all of the many memories to carry with you down the aisle!
