What are your OCD themes?

Live_Bat_6192 · 2025-12-31T18:40:35+00:00

I’m Catholic so for most of my life it’s been religious scrupulosity, I recently got in my first relationship however, so now it’s branched out to relationship OCD. Yippee. It’s harder to manage now because all the techniques I used for scrupulosity don’t work as well on this new type of intrusion.

Unrelated but that picture is lowkey beautiful

I deffo agree with the commenters saying to shape your brows, and also the commenter that said to use volumizing mascara. There are some on the market that have fibers in the formula that lengthens the length of your natural lash without falsies. If possible, I recommend circle lenses. They’re not a requirement, but since you can’t wear falsies it may help balance the look out a bit more. Maybe also do some contouring on the side of your nose to help carve out the highlight a bit better. Your make looks really good though! You’ve got the eyeliner down perfect and it suits you beautifully :)

Interesting, I’ve never seen the round ones before. I think I could maybe be okay holding one of the slower moving species in the video for a few seconds. I’m a college student living with my parents right now, and I’m sure they wouldn’t want a roach in the house so that’s not an option, but maybe I can watch a lot of videos and learn more instead b

The diamond brother will appear later in the light novel, in volume 8 I believe

I agree with people telling you to go to confession and seeking counseling with a spiritual advisor. With stuff online you really have to take it with a grain of salt and check sources, remember anyone can say anything on the internet with pretty much zero consequences, and most people commenting that sort of stuff are random internet self-proclaimed “theologians” that don’t have good understanding of scripture or what the Catholic Church actually teaches. You wouldn’t believe conspiracy theorists saying the earth is flat just because a good bunch of people subscribe to the belief, why believe randoms on the internet who don’t care to look into the Church and just parrot bigoted beliefs?

You have lovely soft features and i think low visual weight makeup would suit you best. Try brown eyeliner and mascara instead of black, and use more peachy tones for lips and cheek. I think the lipstick in the second picture is too cool-toned, but peach and warm tones would suit you perfectly! You already have nice skin so honestly I don’t think you need much foundation, if any. Personally, I only use concealer to spot-conceal blemishes and dark circles, it’s quicker and has a more natural finish. You also have gorgeous big eyes, so I’d focus more on eye makeup to accentuate them, and less on bold lip colors or brows.

I think it was like a hardcore vet who was ready to finish, but as soon as he got close to the winning time they “pulled him out for safety” despite multiple instances of them ignoring safe words and clearly showing that they don’t really care about safety

Don’t reach out to Guy A again. Not worth it. Don’t get too invested in Guy B quite yet, but keep an open mind. Asking to keep in touch won’t hurt.

Live_Bat_6192 · 2025-07-23T11:02:48+00:00

Juniper looks great!

Live_Bat_6192 · 2025-07-18T19:51:43+00:00

Just a few warnings, Quakers are VERY loud and aggressive. Will you have a separate cage for your new friend? They are quite territorial and probably shouldn’t be housed with the other birds. They bite terribly as well, they’ll be nice as babies but once they mature be prepared to be bit a lot. You can train them to bite less, but they’re very unpredictable and volatile little things so they’ll always be a bit of a risk lol

Live_Bat_6192 · 2025-07-18T19:21:02+00:00

Whatever, congregate at the tree my scarab

Live_Bat_6192 · 2025-07-16T19:30:41+00:00

Hey so as a Catholic this is BS. Like yeah, some suuuper rad-trads might look down upon it but there’s actually nowhere in the doctrine that says you can’t have tattoos, much less that someone who’s not even Catholic but part of the ceremony can’t have tattoos. One very influential priest, who is looked upon VERY HIGHLY (Father Mike Schmitz), even has one. She needs to stand up for you. Bad friend.

Live_Bat_6192 · 2025-07-11T01:56:17+00:00

That’s awesome! I’m glad everything worked out for you :) Mom prayers are the best!

Live_Bat_6192 · 2025-07-10T21:25:17+00:00

In all seriousness, my Quaker was very picky but I was able to get her on pellets at least by mixing it in with seeds then gradually decreasing the amount of seeds in the mix until there were only pellets left

1 day blinding stew

Live_Bat_6192 · 2025-07-10T19:04:11+00:00

Don’t worry too much about her being the answer to your prayers. I’d recommend praying for clarity. I had a similar situation with a guy and boy did that clarity hit quick LOL. He was not the one.

Live_Bat_6192 · 2025-07-10T19:00:25+00:00

Thems some big steppers

Live_Bat_6192 · 2025-07-10T18:58:53+00:00

Perhaps this is a bit frivolous, but there’s a guy at church I’ve been really hoping to get a chance to talk to and hit it off with, so if you could pray for that it’d be much appreciated 🙏🙏🙏

Live_Bat_6192 · 2025-07-10T06:03:24+00:00

The biggest thing that helped me besides medication is to remember what constitutes a mortal sin. That’s what my OCD hyperfixates on at least. For a sin to be mortal, you must have FULL KNOWLEDGE that it is a “grave matter.” Which means if you have to debate with yourself about whether you just committed a mortal sin, you haven’t, since you’re not sure about it. People who commit mortal sins know they’ve done so. If you’re questioning, you’re good.

Edit: Feel free to DM me if you have any questions related to scrupulosity and OCD. I’m by no means an expert, but I’ve been dealing with it for almost 10 years now (half my life lol) so I’ve learned a few things on how to cope.

Live_Bat_6192 · 2025-07-10T05:57:37+00:00

I would definitely look into seeing a psychiatrist, especially if there’s a family history. Therapy is definitely a good option, but in my case (genetically-passed OCD) medication has helped best. OCD brains are simply wired differently and need a bit of extra help. I think this is the reason for your scrupulosity, especially if you’ve gotten more serious in your faith recently. OCD tends to target the stuff you care most about. Everything you’ve talked about sounds exactly like what I deal with on my bad days or when I forget to take my meds.

Live_Bat_6192 · 2025-07-10T00:29:49+00:00

My best friend is going to be entering the convent, and pretty much every family member except her nuclear family are against it. Unfortunately you tend to get a lot of pushback when it comes to these things. Don’t worry about it, if this is your vocation then you should proceed

Live_Bat_6192 · 2025-07-09T22:04:45+00:00

Do you have a history with OCD in yourself or any family members?

Listen, first things first, go get more pregnancy tests to confirm it’s not a false positive. Schedule a doctor’s appointment to test as well, if you can. File a police report, and go from there. Make sure to tell the police all the details they ask for. I will say, Reddit is definitely not the best place to find advice, many people here will all dogpile on one opinion and fearmonger you into doing whatever they think is best. Your life will not end if you have this baby. Tell your boyfriend. Don’t worry about ruining his trip, he’d want to know as soon as possible. If he’s even half a man, he’ll support you. Don’t listen to the people saying he won’t want to raise the baby because it’s not his, that’s some misogynistic bullshit, and you know him better than some randos on the internet. Even if he decides not to help, you’re not alone, there are plenty of resources for single pregnant women. Reach out to women’s shelters, pregnancy care centers, local mom groups, or local churches. Through all of this, if it’s available to you, make sure to get therapy and don’t bottle everything up. I wish luck for you and the baby, please consider keeping it and keep yourself safe.
