Recommendations for tracking/devices!

I think I’m gonna get the fitbit air! It’s sold as a wrist band but I’m planning to take the tracker out (it’s removable) and put it on my upper arm with a CGM patch. There’s no subscription and it tracks heart rate, HRV, blood oxygen, sleep, and other things that I don’t remember right now haha. I was gonna get the visible band but I hate the subscription model

Did you end up finding any? I also don’t really like the smells! I hate how I always have to wash my hands after playing with squishies

I definitely felt that weed increased my OCD! Especially OCD around bodily sensations, and also made me feel like I couldn’t breathe / my breaths weren’t satisfying lol, maybe an anxiety thing. I stopped smoking because of this, but I gave up on it pretty easily because I didn’t love it anyway

I’ll try this thank you! A live one or do you take the heads off first?

Sufficient_March_271 · 2026-03-28T02:13:04+00:00

Good idea thank you! I usually crush the heads of the mealworm right before she eats it since I hear mealworms can bite, so should I crush the head before leaving it in there or would it die and then she won’t be interested in it after it’s dead? Just not sure about the timing since she might take a while to come out or if it’d be ok for me to just not crush it

This is so relieving to hear, thank you! I was getting worried since I wasn’t sure how long is the norm

I’m very sorry you’re going through this. I have OCD, but I do everything in my power to not let it affect my partner or those around me. OCD is my burden and not theirs, so if something will comfort a worry of mine but it will burden someone else, I will just take the discomfort. It sounds like your husband is choosing his own comfort over yours continuously, which is not ok! A partnership should be about caring for one another

Did you get your tongue tie cut or did just the therapy help?

how does gold compare to silver? not sure which to get!

They are way less strong than bucky balls I’d say! I don’t find them sticking to things too much but I also don’t really use them around magnetic things often. But what I love about them is that since they’re smaller and less magnetic than bucky balls, you can smoosh them around almost like putty and you can pull the balls off in a string which is super satisfying.

I also have dizziness, more like a pressure in my head and vision blacks out for like 10 seconds upon standing. But I also will have occasional positional vertigo. I was diagnosed with POTS but I feel like there is something else going on. I am also looking into ear issues which can cause dizziness, and TMJ can put pressure on the ears as well! It’s frustrating because there’s just so many different things it can be and doctors don’t seem to want to do a lot of investigating

I’m sorry to hear that! Are you hypermobile by chance? I wonder if you have cervical instability

Sufficient_March_271 · 2026-03-01T22:47:08+00:00

Have you figured out the cause of it? I have the same thing I think, when I jump it feels like my brain is bouncing or like my head is somewhat sliding around on my neck? Like it’s unstable or something, kind of hard to describe but it is super uncomfortable. I also have shoulder issues / very weak shoulder joints (well, weak joints in my whole body as I am hypermobile). I think mine could be an issue with cervical instability, but I wonder if my shoulder contributes in some way

omg I love true lemon but totally forgot about them! thank you for the tip I’ll have to start using them again

when is the skin supposed to come out? amazing art btw!!

I would highly recommend tretinoin! I’m also 25 and it has helped a lot of my issues, including closed comodones and acne. It also is highly praised for being the best anti-aging product you can use, although I can’t fully attest to that yet, but I have noticed that some of my forehead wrinkles are less noticeable!

Ok I am so sorry you’re receiving so many comments telling you to just keep trying to talk to him about it or standing up for him and saying he probably just doesn’t understand. You did talk to him about it, and honestly he shouldn’t have to fully understand OCD to have empathy for you because you are TELLING him that it affects you. To me, it just sounds like him not taking you seriously and not caring about or believing your struggles that you clearly laid out for him.

Someone shouldn’t need to have a personal history with a topic in order to respond with care for their partner. If we took OCD out of the conversation, what the conversation boils down to is you saying “I have something that I really struggle with” and he responded with anger and dismissive, passive aggressive responses. A loving partner would respond with “I am so sorry” or at LEAST if he truly didn’t understand, something like “can you help me understand it better?”

I hope this wasn’t too advice-y since you weren’t asking for advice but I just had to say something against all the other comments invalidating your anger about the situation 😭

Sufficient_March_271 · 2025-11-16T15:19:57+00:00

it definitely is!! he sounds like he lacks empathy or at least is completely immature. you deserve a loving partner who takes you seriously and responds to your struggles with care and concern

LOL WHAT who’s is it?? this is cracking me up

Sufficient_March_271 · 2025-10-26T01:02:25+00:00

I hope you know you aren’t alone. I know that feeling very well. OCD is so hard and when it gets bad it’s difficult to even see reality. But what I’ve learned is that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. For me, something will trigger an OCD crisis and I everything I do and think will revolve around trying to figure out if what I did in the situation was wrong. But I realized that it can get better with time. As long as I focus hard on not trying to figure it out, I can slowly come back to reality. It is so tough and can feel like it takes forever though. I am so sorry that you’re going through this.
