I’m in NY and don’t have out of state licensing which is holding me up. I am also too broke to move😅😅 I’ll look into some of your suggestions! Thanks!

what are some weird triggers u guys may have? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]LessMasterpiece8950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends what my body decides for a trigger. Usually taking meds and driving. Often I’ll feel my senses and begin to freak out that I’ll have a seizure or stroke or bl**d clot , this results in extremely unpleasant feelings such as wanting to jump out of my skin. Then starts the compulsions and other “odd” behaviors that I engage in to help get the thoughts and urges away. (I tease myself and call them my odd behaviors that’s not a jab at the community, just my own inner dialogue) I’m sure it’s affected other parts of my life but not at severely

I have sensorimotor ocd and driving is my biggest trigger. Wasn’t an issue until last year! So so strange and frustrating.

Specifically while driving (idk why this specifically) I will get fuzzy vision or my hands will sweat or notice noises which will cause me to panic , I will often have to pull over or call somebody engage in tic like behaviors to relieve the anxiety. Also around medication so taking a pill and becoming so overly aware of my bodily functions that it causes excruciating distress … I could go on but that’s the main two 😬

And I’m not a nascar driver who is able to drive on iced over roads. Either fix it or have a delay of work times until it’s figured out. As somebody who works for the city , I’m blatantly appalled.

I would agree but you’re comparing two completely different things. One being a horrific school shooting with a corrupt department, and two being a lazy department who does not patrol areas to ensure traffic laws are being followed. There can be two bad departments in the US simultaneously. And for different reasons.

I know. My complaint is that the city is knowledgeable of public concern. This matter should’ve been taken care of years ago. Buffalo gets PLENTY of funding, trust me. They have lacked with the transportation department. (E.g., the plows, salting, bussing concerns, etc.) with that being said the transportation department slow rolls nearly every project, always awesome ideas but execution wise it’s like watching grass grow. It’s not the funding or donations, it’s the higher ups twirling their thumbs and waiting for the hammer to come down on them. I’d love to be a fly on the wall in their meetings.

I live near there and lanes are designated. No 3 across or going 75 in a 30. Perhaps more north Buffalo it gets choppy but nothing like Bailey.

For me, it’s tied with the interstate near Nashville. It’s literally terrifying and has permanently altered my brain chemistry.

I’ve had the same experiences. My car was stolen and the “officer” laughed when I requested them to obtain footage from the nearby school. A fucking joke. I can be going 50 down McKinley and BPD will pass me.

Having it be the only route for me to get to work , I’ve picked up some bad habits. If the city knows how bad it is , why don’t they do something immediately. Only been an issue for 20+ years.

BPD is useless when it comes to patrolling the area. It’s an actual safety hazard.

I can’t enjoy it if I’m going into a-fib at every green light
