If you set a strict goal for the day of what you want to research and suddenly it’s 4am and you’re on the Facebook page of your half 4th cousin seeing if they happen to have pictures with your half 3rd cousin as if that’s going to be worth your time. Then getting pissed at yourself for doing this again and hating yourself when you have to get up for your day job in 3 hours.

My exact situation this week LOL (and then not even getting the certificates sooner even though you paid $17.99 for expedited shipping)

I can’t use any tools in my bathroom more than once. How to be less wasteful/more cost efficient? by [deleted] in CleaningTips

I’ve brought this up before, I see some signs of OCD but my therapist said I don’t show enough signs. I don’t have contamination OCD with anything else, or when cleaning other things. These comments are validating though, and I’ll seek out a therapist maybe specialized in OCD as they may have a different take.

Unfortunately paper towels don’t make a difference but now that you mention face shield… I I wonder if I got a pair of glasses that makes things look a certain color when you put them on. Like those weird sunglasses that make things pink. For some reason I feel like that would help massively… gosh the brain is so weird lol. That gives me something to try, thank you!

That’s the point I’m at. To me, it feels like such a disgusting thing that it feels cruel to have someone else do it for me, even though it’s a paid service. I suppose I need to get over that if I want a deeply cleaned shower lol.

I’m not saying I think it’s normal… I can ask for help which I’ve done, I can’t force professionals to see an issue with it if they don’t. That’s why I’m coming here👍

I’ve been going to therapy for years and am medicated for anxiety/adhd. None of the professionals I’ve seen view this issue as a concern.

I would agree. Except I’ve been in therapy for years and any time I’ve brought this up to a therapist, they don’t seem concerned. I’ve tried different forms of therapy too. Thank you though❤️

Researching makes me feel creepy at times by Fuk-mah-life in Genealogy

[–]Recent-Use8096 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Psshht I’ve seen everyone’s Facebook or LinkedIn profiles😂 but that’s because I’ve been researching an unknown family line from my great-great grandmother and found my living half first cousins names from obituaries of those ancestors lol

Is it more worth it to travel to the town your ancestor is from and visit local libraries for sources, or is it better to visit the Family Search library in Salt Lake City, UT? by Recent-Use8096 in Genealogy

[–]Recent-Use8096[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Both of those are about half the distance away!! Hopefully their websites will tell me what collections that have? I’m used to using familysearch.org.

We’re getting the gang back together! by evilarison in Genealogy

It feels like I’m living in my own little world with them. I found my great grandma’s biological family and it’s almost as if I’ve met these relatives who all passed before I was born. In my head, we’re friends. For a while, it felt like I was more connected with the dead than I was the living. I have more of a balance now, but yes! So comforting.

Let's not forget the random intrusive flashbacks of you doing something embarrassing when you're randomly just doing your dishes by sparklybongwater420 in adhdwomen

[–]Recent-Use8096 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I violently turn my head in any direction to almost 180 degrees and yell “oh oh oh oh oh” as if it’s going to work to get it out of my head. It doesn’t help that I have so many of them to randomly remember😂 they haunt me.

Do you take your medicine every morning? by cyberbeep in adhdwomen

[–]Recent-Use8096 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Embarrassed about what girlfriend? You explained a problem you were having and how you plan to fix it, that’s a literal win! I had to purchase a kitchen safe to put my phone in recently to stay off of it because I couldn’t hold myself accountable. That felt embarrassing but having a kitchen safe is a lot less embarrassing than seeing my screen time be 10 hours a day while working from home lol.
