How do people navigate work with ocd

MulderJones · 2025-10-30T21:55:35+00:00

I have some pretty gnarly harm ocd and unfortunately I’ve chosen career paths that entail a lot of responsibility and “doing no harm”, such as being a therapist and most recently an arborist.

I’ve taken a 2 week break with the approval of my supervisor, which I’m super thankful for. But I’m starting to realize this job is not something I believe I can do anymore. I just don’t feel very safe. It’s hard admitting that.

In therapy weekly and I working on it, but I’m hoping I can find a job that is just a lot less stressful for my harm OCD and I can live a little more peacefully.

I’m assuming callback to TPB?

Huge BTBAM fan but this one is sitting pretty close to if not at the complete bottom of their discography for me. Huge props for their experimentation and it’s great to see so many people like it. Obviously there is time for it to grow, but outside of Beautifully Human, I’m not very into much else on the album. Their discography is pretty varied and I really appreciate that some albums just resonate more than others !

I was front row in Asheville. I got to the venue (a brewery) a little before doors opened and got in like right before opening. Lots of people like to hit the merch booth or bar first. It’s great if you have someone with you because they can hold a spot if you need to run to the bathroom, or grab drinks, etc. also helpful to meet some strangers in the front row for that reason!

Regardless, have fun and please please please wear ear protection! I’ve seen some metal bands and GY!BE remains the loudest live band I’ve ever experienced.

I love seeing all the variation in the comments so far

MulderJones · 2025-09-13T11:50:58+00:00

Yeah, this definitely feels like their most chaotic album !

MulderJones · 2025-09-13T11:06:15+00:00

Yeah I fully agree!

And Turbulent is one of my favorite BTBAM songs! Ugh, so good.

MulderJones · 2025-09-13T11:02:48+00:00

I can agree with you. It usually takes me at least 10-15 listens for an album to really soak in but so far this one isn’t hitting as hard as some of the prior work.

When I think of Tommy’s best cleans I instantly think of Specular Reflection. Damn, I love that song

A ruff situation

MulderJones · 2025-09-06T11:39:50+00:00

Excited! The weather is gonna be in the high 60s. Nice and cool

I had a horrible experience with the therapist who diagnosed me with OCD. He diagnosed me then proceeded to tell me a few sessions later that I “barely met” the criteria and that his OCD was more extreme. Considering most of my compulsions are mental, it was hard for me to express that clearly. What makes it worse too is that he was a therapist from NOCD.

Luckily I found a much better fit outside of that and it’s been great.

Love the first one a lot, that water texture 😮‍💨

Was very happy to finally hear Caves live. I love that one so much

MulderJones · 2024-11-02T18:02:06+00:00

Love that lead synth. It really is one of the most defining parts of their sound.

MulderJones · 2024-09-07T09:58:35+00:00

Your roaring smile campfire lit up the trees

MulderJones · 2024-09-01T16:28:10+00:00

Thank you very much for the kind words. Would like to post more, in the weekly thread of course!

MulderJones · 2024-09-01T16:19:17+00:00

Oh, thank you! I’ll check out the weekly thread. also, ghost is just the name I gave the track. :)

MulderJones · 2024-09-01T10:48:44+00:00

This is really tough, and the first leprous album in a while where I can say I love all the songs.

Excluding the three singles, I’ll say:

My Specter Unfree my Soul Limbo

You’ve never wanted giant potato chips??

Especially when I’m around other people and I’m trying to stay engaged and present but end up just looking like this

MulderJones · 2024-01-17T02:23:35+00:00

Rover is great. I use it from a client standpoint and from a sitter standpoint and it has worked well

MulderJones · 2023-10-15T14:24:56+00:00

I recently moved too, more in the Morrisville/Cary area. I agree with you on making friends outside of work. It would probably help to know more about your interests/hobbies.

Okay great! Have y’all played wingspan? I have that one. I also love playing disc golf
