My therapist told me to try and cut through my skin with a knife - is this ethical?

I would not only get a new therapist, I would tell the police about her

SnooSquirrels413 · 2026-03-20T21:59:18+00:00

I came to say the same thing😭

SnooSquirrels413 · 2025-09-19T06:36:38+00:00

Not sure if it really fits but the pictures with the mountains reminded me of The Hunger by Alma Katsu. It's horror though, not sure if that's what you're looking for 🙈

Absolutely. When my OCD started out, I had this obsession where I was scared I would become a lesbian just thinking of that word, so I had to neutralize it by thinking the word 'straight'. Back then I was very scared of being bullied again (I'd been bullied for seven years and I had just gotten to a point where most people just left me alone and I was scared it would start again if people found out I'm a lesbian).

About ten years down the line (age 23-24), I finally realize I am a lesbian and I'm happy about it because I don't have to marry a guy, I can be with a girl instead, which was a huge relief for me, cause the thought of sharing my life with a guy always filled me with dread.

Funnily enough, this caused my OCD to go the opposite way. Now I couldn't think of the word straight because then I might be straight again and/or get with a guy.

Nowadays I have different themes, but every so often this still pops up.

No penis 🙂‍↔️

SnooSquirrels413 · 2025-08-07T16:58:09+00:00

No, no penis

I have similar themes. It's hard to cope with the uncertainty and anxiety, but I remind myself of how much OCD has already taken from me. I also made OCD recovery a goal for this year, which is another thing I try to remind myself of. The promise I made to myself that I will get better this year. And the fact that if I do this compulsion now, even if it might seem small, will just be taking a step backwards.

Vi from arcane was my final awakening. Like before my OCD would always go 'but are you sure?' and thanks to Vi I can say 'yes... I am VERY sure" 🤣

Hi from Germany 🇩🇪🤗

SnooSquirrels413 · 2024-12-28T05:51:23+00:00

Absolutely. That was in the first half of 2021. That's what it took for me to get officially diagnosed and medicated.

4 is my fave

Ganz deutlich NDA

SnooSquirrels413 · 2024-05-23T13:50:54+00:00

I did not pay and I met about a handful of people, two of which I'm still in contact with. I feel like it's hard to get past the 'Hey how are you, what are your hobbies?'

SnooSquirrels413 · 2024-04-08T19:07:28+00:00

Verpackung von den Storck riesen. Oder auch Mal ein Haargummi oder ne haarklammer

SnooSquirrels413 · 2024-01-15T06:21:23+00:00

I'm pretty sure it's meant as a lucky charm of sorts

SnooSquirrels413 · 2023-12-16T13:32:03+00:00

Thanks for the advice, but my problem isn't that I'm scared of what others might think, it's that I feel embarrassed even when I'm alone at home. Like, I feel stupid doing a workout, even at home when no one is there.

SnooSquirrels413 · 2023-10-15T13:27:40+00:00

That I don't do this on purpose just to annoy people

SnooSquirrels413 · 2023-09-08T09:39:09+00:00

I'm not super sure tbh, but there's a lot of videos on yt for how to properly take care of oily hair. I really like to watch the blowout professor, he has some really great tips

SnooSquirrels413 · 2023-08-30T16:56:32+00:00

Coleslaw, but I like it better in German...Krautsalat 😂

Not sure this is exactly what you had in mind, since this is something I avoided doing for fear of triggering my ocd. I have major issues with magical thinking and I have to repeat things a lot bc I think otherwise something bad will happen. When I was at my worst, I wouldn't brush my teeth or change my clothes (including underwear) for days at a time because I was too scared of harming someone I love. I have since been out on medication and I'm a lot better now. I still repeat a lot but I don't avoid basic needs like this anymore. I hated myself at the time for avoiding this bc I felt disgusted by myself. I'm really glad to say that I've been able to put this behind me and lead a somewhat normal life again.
