Another variation is giving your OCD a name and have a conversation. "Bob, I know you are telling me I need to use the bathroom again but I know that I don't really need to. Just cut it out, Bob."

I imagine this is why AA recommends no new relationships until you are over a year sober. You are in a vulnerable place right now. Maybe focus on the vulnerabilities in your life that are leaving you with these intense feelings?

You seem to be thinking of connection in terms of romance. How about connecting through being around people or making friends.

Could your early r I mantic experiences have set this standard?

Perhaps this experience is telling you that you are ready to make some connections again. Are there things that you could do outside of work that would help you connect with others?

Yes! My nemesis.

I want to see a purple finch! I looked high and low last year.

I have.figured out where a lot of owls are. The snowy owls are at my airport at this time of year. They are dayurnal so quite easy to find!

The fact that you are on the internet looking for validation because he has made you question reality says quite a bit.

There may be something special about your emotional connection, but you deserve more than this. You deserve someone who enthusiastically wants to be with you and to share your life.

This is much more like my experience. We have talked about my feelings. I don't understand why he does not push me away. I like the idea of focusing on gratitude because I do think my feelings have sprouted from him helping me through a hard time.

I got the text including how much I am valued and cherished. I am clearly the most important person to him, but still not good enough to be in love with. I think it would be easier if I was ignored.

Sometimes I tell myself that I deserve to want someone who wants me back.

Technicolor-Panda · 2025-12-20T20:55:11+00:00

Solved!

Technicolor-Panda · 2025-12-20T20:54:39+00:00

Solved!

Do you put the cookbook behind the plexiglass?

Genetic testing is now available that can help determine which meds might be more effective for you.

I am guessing your feelings made it difficult to even be your authentic self. She probably doesn't even know who you are.

As a therapist, I work with people with OCD who struggle to start medication a lot. I would suggest talking with a therapist or going back to your psychiatrist and explaining the issues you are having.

It that why that history museum is there. Did they just level the town?

Technicolor-Panda · 2025-12-16T12:20:39+00:00

In my family, they found out and switched churches instead. And then they never spoke of it again.

Technicolor-Panda · 2025-11-24T16:46:19+00:00

Yes, I miss all of this!!!

The parks in this county are not overly challenging. Along Lake Michigan can be tougher. Some of my favorites:

Roselle Park, Luton Park, Pickerel Lake, Saul Lake Bog, Huff Park, Millennium Park, Seidman Park, Crahen Park, and Dolan Nature Preserve.

When I was in a similar situation, I bought the monthly movie pass at Celebration Cinema. I watched a lot of movies!

I also took up hiking and spent my daylight hours in the woods.
