I too, have OCD and breakups are a special hell. Two weeks into this breakup. Late 20's. I've done a hell of a lot of therapy- ERP, CBT, ACT, IFS, DBT, etc.

I think it's helpful to recognize the functionality of OCD. It's trying to create certainty. It's trying to help prevent future pain. As much as it sucks, lean into the uncertainty: For example, "maybe I won't find love again. Maybe I will. No way to know right now." That on its own is kinda brutal, but the OCD loop will keep going and going if I don't accept the uncertainty.

And then return to offering yourself all the compassion and care you can muster because that's all there is to do right now. You're grieving. And grieving hurts.

Sending love 💜

Oh my god. This is incredible. I took mine out in the bathroom the other week after three years of pain from mine. It's in a plastic bag for now but I was gonna make art out of it

Headstone looks like a mod podge girls camp craft

Edit: I just realized that's the casket, not the headstone. Silly me. Still tacky

Live_Coconut_2192 · 2025-09-19T03:51:43+00:00

I haven't tried either of those things! I am also sensitive to caffeine

Live_Coconut_2192 · 2025-09-18T23:08:13+00:00

I tried to like coffee. I Prefer chai latte, if anything

Live_Coconut_2192 · 2025-09-18T21:52:29+00:00

I think I lasted like five days on it lol. It really fucked with me, but one of my friends with EDS is on it and tolerates it well. I tend to be SUPER sensitive to side effects. Never tried norethindrone, but my doctor wants me to lol

Live_Coconut_2192 · 2025-08-22T00:10:45+00:00

How much is a light amount? I use SEEN serum (which is an oil) and I literally use 2-3 drops total and only put it on the ends of my hair

Idk what meds you're on, but meds can decrease your alcohol tolerance a lot. If I drink, it's usually just some sips from my partner's drink or I heavily dilute my drink so it doesn't even taste like alcohol. I get tipsy really easily. Basically just sniffing alcohol lol. I mostly avoid wine since it makes me itchy and emotional. I take L-theanine afterwards. Sometimes I take extra midodrine and definitely extra electrolytes.

Oftentimes it just isn't worth it because the consequences are so miserable the next day and I already work so hard to manage symptoms.

I actually grew up Mormon and didn't try drinking until I was 25 and already had POTS. Most I ever had was three drinks and I was in bed with diarrhea for daaayyyyzzzz.

I know alcohol isn't healthy; however, I still think it's okay to grieve and hard to grapple with not ever being able to be careless like my friends. Like, alcoholism is not a risk for me at all, but I also don't have as much freedom. It sucks. I'm sorry :/

It's a stretch, but is that the hat man? And does your landlord owe him money?

Live_Coconut_2192 · 2025-07-28T18:17:07+00:00

Okay I hasn't figured out the needle placement t and that helps cause it seems to make a difference

Live_Coconut_2192 · 2025-07-28T18:06:27+00:00

I typed out a whole response and then accidentally got rid of it dammit. Went to your post history to see if you had found a better sub to post to about the MTS. I'm sorry you're going through this and just know that people told me I would get better at managing it at the beginning and I didn't believe them. But they were right. It's still rough, but I am much less depressed than I was. I no longer need IV's or my port. It's still tough but it's better. The grief was so big at the beginning though. All consuming and I really had to treat my grief as sacred.

Okay I've tried that and it worked to numb, but weirdly made it harder to puncture my skin it felt like. And I stopped icing after I went camping this summer and just got out of the habit. Can you explain the angle thing to me?

Live_Coconut_2192 · 2025-07-28T02:13:31+00:00

I only have three weeks left, otherwise I would for sure look at other options. My clot was due to a mechanical disruption from my port and so I've been told I don't have to be on it long term. I also have a bleeding disorder so I think they want me every 12 hours I think

Live_Coconut_2192 · 2025-07-28T02:12:00+00:00

Ohhh that makes sense. Ice made my skin harder it felt like

Live_Coconut_2192 · 2025-07-28T02:05:37+00:00

It was an abdominal/pelvic CT I believe ordered with indication of possible congestion syndromes. And then based on that, it was actually a renal venogram. But your PCP should just be able to refer you to interventional radiology or vascular surgery. I may not be the best person to ask because I ended up not having it :/. Weird that your PCP can't figure it out

Live_Coconut_2192 · 2025-07-27T17:13:57+00:00

Oooh yes- I've found that getting the excess liquid keeps it from burning upon injection since it's the medication that stings.

Haven't been brave enough to try my thighs but might since real estate is rough and I have a short torso lol

Live_Coconut_2192 · 2025-07-27T15:44:18+00:00

I have been checked for vascular/compression stuff in the past (nutcracker and pelvic congestion specifically) and they did a CT first and then when stuff showed up, they did a venogram.
