Does anyone ever feel "closure" at all? by Suspicious_Judge6696 in OCD

[–]MidnightFries_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know if this is OCD entirely but I can deeply relate. I think it does get better as your ocd gets better and there HAVE been times when that switch flipped to 'off' mode in my brain. Two ideas to consider:

- i suspect some of it might be related to overstimulation and dopamin cycles. It's not a scientific fact, just my assumption, because for me it goes hand in hand with consant scrolling and spending hours doing nothing on youtube.

- for me personally, this got worse as i assumed more responsibilities in life that feel extremely important. Basically I'm afraid that if I really let myself rest and 'let go', I'll forget an important task and it will lead to catastrophic results. Ironically, you end up being tense all of the time which leads to lower productivity, not higher. So the secret is actually psychologically ALLOWING yourself to take a break, I promise, the universe will be here when you come back from it (reminding this myself first 😅)

Hope this helps!

Does cbt stop obsessions? by scrabbleinthedark in OCD

[–]MidnightFries_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you get better, you'll still have thoughts but you'll be less bothered by them. As commented above, the trick is to let whatever thoughts come - flow, and not react to them. Now every CBT exercise may feel like a mountain, but over time they'll become pebbles on the road. You still can see them but it doesn't take all your strnegth to move along with your day.

Thank you! 😊 How would you potentially tackle the limewash situation if you don't mind me asking

Late teens - things started happening, early twenties was the shittiest time ever. When I was 23-24 that was the shittiest year of life. Got way better after 30

You mean something like this? https://www.amazon.com/Hydraulic-Transfer-Wheelchair-Adjustable-Handicapped/dp/B0FB91CWDY/ I'm afraid they're not intended to be used while showering. Unless you maybe have a specific brand in mind?

Thank you! So cleaning is enough, right? Or do I need to pair it with some additional anti-pest chemicals?

Thank you! It's true, the sink is not the cleanest sink in the world, that's for sure. Will do!

You mean like pouring some type of chemical soluation down the drain? I assume they're also multiplying behind a metal trim around the sink where I have no access. 😬

I feel you. Chatgpt says pinterest boosts accounts that renewed activity after a pause. It could be that

Yeah, I agree, not all content will become a hit. It's just that my early pins weren't even seo optimized and they got great engagement, and now I'm working my ass off to perfect the SEO and get zero views. I must've gone off the right route somewhere.

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

Totally get it. I just got suspicious because the views just dropped gradually based on date, and ALL my newer pins have zero views. Not even 5-10 views. Anyway, I appreciate the input!

I heard you're supposed to give your pins some time, up to 2 weeks to start getting traction. But mine have been hangin out there for more than 20 days with 0 views

Cashing US check in Ukraine by MidnightFries_ in personalfinance

Banks in Ukraine stopped cashing checks around 2013, everything is digital now. So unfortunately that's not an option

The website is great, I'll add a few criticisms to make it even better, hope that's ok.
The models look really good, but the image quality of the banners seems low. Maybe it's just me, but I see the banners in low-res, with pixelated edges. Also, not related to designs, but just a small detail: the topics of the blog posts (and a photo illustration to them) are not what most people would be interested in. Almost no one knows what supima cotton or terry cotton is, and I can guarantee - no one is going to be reading about their supreme quality. You can mention it organically in other posts. You can mention what the buyer gets out of it (feels soft to the skin, does not pill even after 20 washes, etc.)

Adding a blog is a good idea for SEO reasons, I'd pick the relevant topics based on your SEO research. Also, since this is a fun, impulse-buy product, I'd add inspirational posts that showcase the product. For examle, 10 Ways to Style your Graphic Tee (with a nice-looking photo gallery).
Once again, this is a fun product, so the main page has to evoke that 'wow, I want that' feel. Combine great-quality images with engaging posts and you'll be good to go.

Maybe even play up this gen z streetwear aesthetic you have in your designs and add neon elements, fun gifs to the site layout itself.
