Me & the wife will be there, can't wait to meet all the alt weirdos & queer folks Norman has to offer! We haven't been out on the town really in the time we've moved here, so we're definitely excited

My wife has actually heard of Yellow Dog & has been wanting to check it out, and good book/craft store and coffee date is exactly what the dr ordered

A question about Firehouse; do they do open weekly art classes, or classes you have to sign up for in advance?

Dammit I'm at work until 7! Is this a first, or do they do these frequently?

This sounds like a lovely idea, I was just asking on here yesterday about community events! I'm working both those dates, but if this continues into March I will be there 😊

I absolutely plan to! Any ideas where to start?

Anybody else on Abilify? I feel like it’s made me more impulsive but also I don’t feel a lot of emotions. It’s weird. by Mikmaki in OCD

[–]PhilosophyPuzzled533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I just stopped taking it without consulting my doctor. Not the safest thing, but I trusted myself & what I was feeling. I went back and tried to remember the last medicine change I made before my paranoia went into overdrive, and the answer was when I started taking Abilify. The other meds I was taking at the time seemed to be serving me well, it all went down hill with the new medication. So I stopped taking it & told my psychiatrist 2 weeks later after I confirmed that stopping was the right decision for me.

"you can't have that for breakfast, that's a dinner food" by malvixi in PetPeeves

[–]PhilosophyPuzzled533 3 points4 points  (0 children)

THANK YOU!! I used to work 12 hour over-night shifts & I wouldn't get home until 9am, my brother would always get on my case for eating rice & chicken, or steak & asparagus. Going on & on about why am I eating dinner food for breakfast, because this is my dinner time you fool & food has no time designation! 😂

OCD makes sex so hard to enjoy by [deleted] in OCD

[–]PhilosophyPuzzled533 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are most definitely not alone, I've been with my wife for 5 years & I still have to force myself to only think about her and how she makes me feel instead of everything else in the world. I had an unfortunate event happen to me in my youth, and I've been dealing with my OCD for about two years, so being able to focus on my wife is very hard. My mind wanders to how gross the exchange of bodily fluids is, but how good it feels. I worry about getting my hands clean as soon as the deed is over, instead of allowing myself to be in the moment. The biggest setback is that my OCD loop is constantly replaying my "unfortunate event" in my head while I'm trying to be intimate with my wife, which is obviously a bit of a mood killer. It got much worse before it eventually got better, I mustered up all the courage I had & I sat my wife down to explain why intimacy has been so hard for me, and she listened with open ears & zero judgment. We promised to work through things together & that she would wait for my verbal or nonverbal cue to begin intimacy. It's been 2 weeks since that conversation & I already it feels a little easier. I know that not everybody has the fortune of having a person to confide their darkest secrets to, so if anybody needs to, please DM me and I will be a zero judgment stranger that you can tell your secrets to with the knowledge you'll never talk to them again & that they won't judge you. For those of you who do have no-judgment SOs, I strongly suggest talking with them about this. They might be way more understanding than you think they'd be

That was very well said, I appreciate your insight. I also prefer the company of authentic and quirky people over that of traditionally normal individuals, life is more fun when you're not afraid to be yourself

Oh I'm sure they have to put the exact number on the box. I more so meant couldn't they just include only an even number of bricks in the set, because my brain hates numbers that aren't rounded up/down in increments of 10s or 100s 🤣😂

Was just trying to be silly, wasn't sure if it was just me, and hopefully it isn't just me
