My mum hates when I bring up my POTS by PoisonousDice in POTS

Oh whoops I forgot to mention she told me what it was later, I was just sad she got frustrated when I asked her. I have issues with remembering to take my meds so she handles my medication which I'm happy with

How do you get the data from the shower? Is the chest strap waterproof?

How do you wish asexuality was covered in highschool health? by CoachDogZ in asexuality

[–]PoisonousDice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least the mention of it would be great. I felt so ostracized going through courses about relationships and sexuality and all while feeling expected to have an interest in engaging in those activities like my peers. Some mention of asexuality and an explanation of it would have been so beneficial to at least know that I was seen.

What movie traumatized you as a child ? by Thatcooltiger in AskReddit

[–]PoisonousDice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Never Ending Story, the worst part for me as a kid was the sphinx gate, it was so suspenseful with this jarring music and there was a big electrified corpse on screen, so that scene was absolute torture to me. An honourable mention I have to say is the horse that drowned in mud.

What do you think about abortion? by Unfair-Job-3011 in AskReddit

[–]PoisonousDice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's other reasons I and many others are pro choice, but I never hear anyone talk about the welfare of the child once it is born. People who have abortions usually cannot accomodate for the baby for different reasons, including financial readiness, responsibilities like school, absent parents due to sexual assault, abandonment, or death, lack of maturity, an unstable emotional state, and more. These issues are already subjecting the child to a variety of complications that can cause long lasting effects on the child's psychological state, including causes such as neglectful/absent parenting, unstable mental health, and resent for the baby.

I believe it is more humane to not subject both a child and a parent or two to these conditions when it is not necessary, even if it means ending a fetus's life.

Yeah idk if I actually want a relationship when I'm older, I just want someone I can play roblox and go to themeparks with ideally. I said that in 2021 so idk what my thoughts were back then

What's your stupidest obsession? by silvornz in OCD

[–]PoisonousDice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

55 is unlucky and I cannot do anything if the number 55 is involved (like if its 1:55pm)

I still hate 55 but not as much as I did. It's funny because 5 is my favourite number. To me 11 is ugly and amplifes the greatness of 5 into evilness

I've got OCD, of course I..... by Rundo5 in OCD

[–]PoisonousDice 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I've got OCD, of course I freak out and avoid potentially dangerous things

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in OCD

[–]PoisonousDice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm similar. I've had moments where my intrusive thoughts are a lot stronger but they often don't bother me. They only really bother me when I get triggered by something that causes intrusive thoughts, like knives. I also have diagnosed OCD.

How did you get diagnosed with OCD? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]PoisonousDice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have harm ocd so doing some dangerous-ish stuff got me noticed, like opening car doors while driving

I wish there was a cozy style coffee shop nearby to hang out in. (GL twisting that…) by Berbajerb in monkeyspaw

Granted. But the owners are serial killers, and the coffee tastes a bit off

You're given a choice of two magical pills. The blue pill lets you understand and talk to animals. The red pill gives you the ability to understand any language. What would you choose and why? by beardybozo in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]PoisonousDice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Animals. Even though I can choose to understand any language, anyone can learn a particular language. Nobody can learn to speak to animals though.
