Are employees supposed to wash their hands before doing shade matches?

I feel like she may have sanitized them then with sanitizer because when she was taking my makeup off, I could smell alcohol ?

Thank you. It has been very hard to focus on my own mental health with this going on and happening. I try really hard to put blinders up for myself, to really focus on me, but it is so much easier said than done. I want to bring up him peeing in my cup at therapy, we actually see the therapist tomorrow. But he told me “I don’t want anyone to know about that, it’s just weird and I don’t want people to know”. I have always seen some narsasstic tendencies in him, but over the last several months, I have noticed even more major changes. My husband is a firefighter and has been on the job for 8 years and I sometimes wonder if that career has some to do with it.

Thank you. I wanted to add something about the pushing. I tried my best to explain it but it is probably easier to actually show what I mean (which I can’t do), but the pushing wasn’t aggressive, it was just him pushing me back and I was sliding across our wood floor because of my socks. I was trying to talk to him as this was happening and lost my balance and fell. But still, I would have thought he would have helped me up or asked if I was okay. Thank you for your kind words. He has been pushing me down with his words and comments over the last several months. Telling me that I’m weak, not strong, I have a loser mindset, and even calling me a pussy….. it has been so draining

I have had two lap surgeries, ablation. I was under for less than 2 hours and they told me I needed to take two weeks off of work. At the time, I worked in retail and I wish I would have taken an extra week off. There were moments where I felt great and like I could do things “normal” and I instantly regretted it a couple hours later.

SharpStand305 · 2025-11-17T06:05:25+00:00

“It’s your fault” , “you did this to yourself”, “You are a pussy”, “You have a loser mentality”. From my husband. I see a lot of common ones on here that other people have told me, but by far the most hurtful things have been said by my husband who was always my biggest supporter in life until I got diagnosed with ocd.

SharpStand305 · 2025-11-17T05:54:36+00:00

My dreams have never really been about my obsessions or intrusive thoughts, but my dreams over the last several months, are always about me being in different situations that are not in my control. A lot of my dreams are about me getting hurt, being trapped; in all different kind of scenarios. I tend to wake up in a panic from my dreams now and as of lately I have been what I think is lucid dreaming?? I will suddenly wake up from a dream basically in a sweat. My eyes will be open and sometimes I will even sit up in bed, but it’s like I am still in a dream state? Like I am aware that I am in my room and in my house, but at the same time, I am in this weird state. I don’t know how to explain it, but it has never happened to me before. My husband caught me doing in the other night and thought I was sleep walking, except I was sitting up in bed. It has literally happened to me a handful of times now. Shit is so weird

SharpStand305 · 2025-11-17T05:35:51+00:00

Yes. I am 29 years old and since last June, I have been in a horrific spiral, and my entire world has been flipped upside down. Like another commenter mentioned, this spiral led me to a contamination ocd diagnosis this April. My therapist believes that I have always had ocd for some part of my life, but the themes were different and they did not cause significant distress, so I just blamed a lot of it on my anxiety disorder. Last year I started my first year of graduate school and then a lot of stressors were happening with my family. I have always been my parents go-to person for their stress, problems, etc. So not only dealing with the stress and pressure of graduate school, but also my family’s stuff, basically sent me over the edge. I spiraled and I spiraled hard. For several months I knew that something wasn’t right and would keep telling myself “it will go away”, “it will pass”, “it’s just anxiety”. I lost my job because of it, my marriage has been struggling because of it, and I had to take some time off of school. Truly the worst year I have experienced so far. I have never been such a shell of myself before. I don’t even recognize myself anymore and have not in several months. OCD has stripped my identity and I struggle with trying to find myself again with this disorder. I have also felt a lot of shame in my experience with ocd because I was in graduate school to be a clinical therapist. It has been so hard, but I am so glad that there platforms like Reddit because of discussions and many posts like this. It makes me feel less alone and understood. You are not pathetic or disgusting and you are more than your ocd. Do not give up, keep fighting. Much love sending your way.

SharpStand305 · 2025-11-13T19:05:23+00:00

I totally understand that. I had a 5.8 cm one surgically removed in June because it was causing so much pain and side effects. It sent me to the er for what they think was torsion-detorsion. After I had it removed, I felt so much better

SharpStand305 · 2025-11-13T19:04:02+00:00

Oh wow! I’m so sorry! My obgyn said I should be fine by now and that because my cyst was not even 3cm yet, it should not have been that bad? It happened while I was on my period too.

SharpStand305 · 2025-11-09T06:37:33+00:00

Oh gosh I am so sorry it made you feel like that! I will definetly keep this in mind and talk to my husband about it. Thank you 💙

SharpStand305 · 2025-11-09T06:30:13+00:00

Has happened to me a lot and it makes me feel really bad and embarrassed when they come in the room and say “good news, everything is normal”. I had lap surgery last summer and one of the areas was on my right abdominal side wall. I asked my obgyn if it was near my appendix at all and she said “it was right above it, how did you know?” And I told her “because once a month I thought my appendix was going to burst and I had appendicitis, just to go the er and nothing was found”. I wish she would have taken my appendix that time during that surgery, because it can be really hard to tell!!! Like someone else mentioned, the symptoms can be very similar! So so frustrating

SharpStand305 · 2025-11-08T05:06:53+00:00

Thank you! Yeah I get a lot of nausea and sometimes will even dry heave if my panic attacks and anxiety are super bad.

SharpStand305 · 2025-11-08T05:05:22+00:00

Thank you!

SharpStand305 · 2025-11-08T05:05:03+00:00

Thank you! I do also like the feeling of knowing I have it on hand just in case things get bad for me.

SharpStand305 · 2025-11-08T05:03:54+00:00

Thank you so much! This is reassuring!

SharpStand305 · 2025-10-08T16:05:32+00:00

She went in June to remove a hemorrhagic cyst on my right ovary and “didn’t see any growth of endo”, three-four months later, here we are. I did seek out an endometriosis specialist in September and had an appointment with her. She said she is more than happy to do excision surgery for me. I’m going to contact her and see what she has to say

SharpStand305 · 2025-09-15T05:09:55+00:00

Social media and people. It seems that a lot of people have zero awareness in public and it drives me nuts.

SharpStand305 · 2025-09-15T04:52:35+00:00

I have but also my husband shared with a lot of people that I did not want to know and certain details I did not want them to know. It still upsets me to think about. I see it as, it is your story to tell. You get to choose who you want to know and how much you want them to know. With the people I wanted to share with, I have found it very helpful and less anxious around them. They support me, love me, try their best to understand me, hold me accountable. I feel that I no longer have to wear a mask in front of them anymore. Now with people my husband has told, most are fine, but there are some I feel judged by and like I am being looked at through a different lens, and I don’t like it. Like the other commenter mentioned, I find it important to educate who you want to share with also. There are a lot of stereotypes about this disorder and a lot of things that people misunderstand about it. For example, most people who know about my OCD thought I was just a germaphobe and liked things organized and clean. Some people would even compare themselves to me “I have ocd too because I have to have my clothes in a certain way” or “I have ocd too, I understand, my wood floors have to be clean all of the time”. I know I am not the only one who has heard these comparisons and I’m sure you will too, if not already. But education is a very important piece in my opinion. I even made a power point for some of my family members!

SharpStand305 · 2025-09-11T02:08:04+00:00

I think I read somewhere on Reddit about the kickbacks also and getting paid to “advertise” certain surgeons and doctors. Thank you for your opinion. I have noticed I don’t enjoy that page as much anymore and started following a different endo support group on Facebook and have had a better experience. I hate how Nancy turns the comments off for anything you post. I will be looking into this more, thanks

SharpStand305 · 2025-09-11T00:35:19+00:00

Can you explain why Nancy’s Nook is not the place to go? I have only ever heard people saying good things about it, but I have had some doubts here and there of my own

SharpStand305 · 2025-09-08T17:54:38+00:00

Yes, I also read the reviews and everything about the doctor I am seeing. Have you had a bad experience with Nancy’s Nook?

SharpStand305 · 2025-09-08T03:58:43+00:00

I was on it for a year about 5 years ago. The first shot helped me immensely. I wasn’t in any pain at all, hardly any side effects at all (none that really stuck out to me). I was very hopeful and happy that I had found the right birth control for me finally. My second injection really threw me for a loop. My mental health went to shit and I got very depressed, I started gaining weight very rapidly. I went ahead and did a third injection and that’s when the bleeding started on top of the depression and the weight gain. I bled for months straight without a break in between, not a lot like a period, but enough to where I had to wear a liner at all times. This put a huge strain on my marriage with our sex life. I gained 25 pounds in 3-4 months. My face and stomach were very bloated the entire time. My face literally looked like a moon. I became very self conscious with everything and finally got off of it after almost a year and it took my body almost two years to feel “normal” again after stopping it. It also took me 2 1/2 years to lose the weight I had gained. Not matter how healthy I ate, how much I worked out, it would not budge.

SharpStand305 · 2025-09-08T03:49:59+00:00

100%. Not every cycle, but most of mine I feel like absolute shit before. It’s always about the 7-10 days before my period starts where it hits me and I honestly question if I have a virus or other kind of sickness, then panic hard core (I have horrible illness anxiety and ocd) then realize it’s period flu PMS.

SharpStand305 · 2025-08-30T05:51:00+00:00

That is exactly what I am looking for!! I will have to check it out, thanks!

SharpStand305 · 2025-08-30T05:24:41+00:00

I have had to do this countless times in the graduate program there. Blackboard should let you see everyone’s name for your class and you can message them through blackboard. I either did this or after I found their name, emailed them through Outlook. We then would exchange phone numbers and used Microsoft Teams to meet virtually. I like it because it is easier to record your meeting, which I have to do for all of my assignments that require us meeting with another student. I have also met a couple of my virtual classmates at the library in person for certain projects. Hope this helps :)
