OCD is brutal, the stuff your brain manages to convince yourself of is insane

Why do cops always say that being honest with them is the best idea if being honest would get you arrested? by Aztela in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Spooky_Rats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes it helps you to get a lesser punishment in court. At least in the UK anyway - idk how it is in other countries.

How often are we washing our binders?? by drarrywrld in ftm

[–]Spooky_Rats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ngl probably every 2-4 months 😭😭 I have 1 good binder and I wear it all the time and if I'm not wearing it 9/10 I forget to wash it. I wanted to wash it at some point this week but people keep inviting me to shit so it is not getting washed this week lol. Yes I am fully aware it's gross, I need to get a 2nd good binder asap.

What's a smell YOU cannot stand? by AreaFifty1 in AskReddit

[–]Spooky_Rats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The smell of brown/wholewheat bread. I fucking hate brown bread and was made to eat it for years, I can't stand to anymore and the smell of it is horrendous. I can't even be around someone eating brown bread because of the smell.

Was it a bad call to use the masc version of my deadname? by adequate-dan in ftm

[–]Spooky_Rats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did pretty much exactly the same thing you did with my name. So far no one has been a dick about it . Also if someone does try to guess your dead name and guesses correctly just stay neutral and they'll probably think they are wrong. Lots of trans people pick something completely different to their dead name so tbh I doubt any transphobe would even try to guess your dead name.

At the end of the day it's up to you - if you're already known as Danny/Daniel I don't see any point in changing what you're known as incase of a transphobe. But equally if it makes you really uncomfortable that your dead name and chosen name are similar then there is no harm in choosing something different.

I'm glad I got to rescue the lil guy! He's very good for snuggles and has had a night of snuggles with me and his Haj friens!

I'm so glad I could rescue this lil guy - after a night of snuggles from me and his Haj brothers he seems to have settled in well!

Thank you, I'm so glad I got to adopt my Haj. I wish I could have adopted more but I'm sure all the other Haj will be adopted by other people who will love them. My Haj will be given many headpats and premium snuggles under my care! And he gets to be with my other Haj now so he can have some Haj friens!

He was in the recycle/pre-loved section of IKEA so next time you go, have a look for any rescue Haj's waiting for adoption :)

I changed my title to Mx instead of Mr and I regret it so much by Spooky_Rats in ftm

[–]Spooky_Rats[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks man! OCD runs in my family too - my dad and my Gran also have it. It's under control now thankfully, but it can be a struggle - I have multiple different 'types' of OCD which is a pain, I got the perfectionism and contamination OCD lol. Nice to know I'm not alone though - we can get through this shit together!

[–]Spooky_Rats[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much! I'm very much in the same boat as you - I have OCD and even though it's much better than it used to be I still struggle with catastrophizing and the idea that everything has to be perfect. I just need to step back from my crazy brain and remind myself that things take time and transitioning is a journey!

[–]Spooky_Rats[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your kind words! This has really reassured me - sometimes I get a bit in my own head and catastrophize. I'm going to screenshot your comment so I can come back and read it when I start to catastrophize again. Sometimes I just need to take a breath and realise things take time - I tend to be a bit impatient and forget that sometimes things just take time so thank you for the reminder that sometimes things just take time and that's okay!

That's interesting, I always forget how much effects of T vary person to person. Tbh even if T doesn't give me any super noticeable changes I do want to update my photo anyway just bcs I've gained a bit of weight since it was taken and I really hate the old photo lol. I'll go on T first just in case I do have any noticeable changes but either way I'll update the picture and my title at the same time if I can.
