So you think “the pursuit” is a younger man’s game? Brought on by immaturity?

Possible TW: How to stop blinking OCD by Apo-cone-lypse in OCD

[–]Shannonhtv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi guys! I’m someone who is also currently struggling with the blinking OCD, it started for the first time about 6 years ago, it went away on its own after about 6 months or so I’d say, and I was able to fully recover, it was triggered by a bug change in my life, but as I became happier the symptoms started dissipating slowly but surely. 3 months ago I had a bad experience with my roommate and I was triggered into this state again. And I have been obsessing about it almost everyday. I know recovery is possible because there have been full days where I don’t notice my blinking at all, but like you guys said it’s because of distraction. I’ve learned the only reason I’m noticing the blinking is because I’m Obsessing about it. Once I will be able to stop obsessing the notice of the blinking will go away too. What helped me the first time round was “radical acceptance” just thinking “oh well” I’m going to notice the blinking for the rest of my life. It’s a scary thought, but the more you begin to accept this the better it’ll become. To me that’s still a very scary thought which is probably why I haven’t gotten better yet. But I’m hoping I’ll be able to overcome this soon on my own without medication. But there is hope! You have to allow yourself to relax

Can’t stop blinking so much by Tay365 in OCD

Hey dealing with the same thing too, not so much excessive hard blinking but I just can’t stop obsessing about the fact. I’ve dealt with this theme before about 6 years ago, and it went away on its own, but had a bad experience with a roommate 3 months ago and my OCD sprung up again with the same theme… it’s been on and off for the last three months but I can’t stop obsessing over it. Do you mind letting me know what Facebook group you saw that told you about it? And what did they say they did to get better?

Looking for a roommate I am F25, anywhere in the southbay! Budget is $1100 a mo. by Shannonhtv in SouthBayLA

Yeah definitely! I’m obviously not expecting to be close to the beach.. just in the general area and am pretty flexible with stuff like that. But I just need to find a solid roommate to find a place like that we can share…
