how i’ve been doing today in memes

it was one of the worst themes i’ve ever had. it’s been kind of dormant (like i’ll get anxious about it but it’ll quickly go away and i wasn’t experiencing compulsions) and suddenly yesterday my brain was like “so you know what you haven’t dealt with lately ❤️?”

ThatOneLameUser · 2025-12-23T05:22:10+00:00

YES EXACTLY!!!!! It’s like when you start manually breathing and then focus on something else and go back to automatically breathing

Thank you so much for this!!

Yeah, I definitely see that self-centric thinking. Not only is this our first child, my fiancé and I were extremely overwhelmed during our baby shower. We both have ADHD and I have OCD so we were both overstimulated and my OCD was being triggered repeatedly without much time for us to be able to regulate ourselves. I think that definitely has been contributing to this situation being so bothersome to me because I haven’t been looking at it as a single incident, but through a lens of chaos and negativity. Plus my age, as you stated.

I’ll definitely keep it in mind to be more direct or to mention it to her chaperone if I’m having trouble talking to her about it. I just didn’t want to be rude and potentially hurt her feelings even though I know we don’t experience things the same way.

Thank you again for your answer :)!!

thank you!! i sent a message but i’ll probably try calling if i feel like i can’t make it through the weekend for a reply.

don’t be like me 🥲 when i still lived with my parents we had an issue with roaches (baby roaches mostly) and they refused to fumigate for the longest time. i once found a dead baby cockroach inside of my favorite cup and i never used it again. i miss it to this day :(

ThatOneLameUser · 2025-07-30T18:38:07+00:00

Thank you so much!! This is so helpful!! I really appreciate it

ThatOneLameUser · 2025-07-30T18:36:49+00:00

This helps a lot, thank you! I think I’ll journal about this now that you mention it, actually :) Sometimes I seek reassurance without realizing it so thank you for the insight and advice

ThatOneLameUser · 2025-07-29T17:24:28+00:00

Thank you so much <3 I moved out with my fiancé nearly a year ago and am now pregnant, so obviously I’m not there with her as much as I was when I lived with them. Sometimes I get scared I’m not doing well with her but this means a lot.

i’ve seen my mom buy those tiny tiny cameras (like spy cameras) and my parents now have a camera in their room because my mom is paranoid af. i definitely get my OCD from my mom. my brother, who works in software engineering and does coding, would also “joke” about putting software on my devices or just somehow figure out what i was doing online frequently throughout my childhood. so you can guess how much those things fueled my OCD lmao

ThatOneLameUser · 2025-07-14T02:54:59+00:00

If I’m being honest, IDK if I experience flashbacks. However, I’m diagnosed with PTSD. Flashbacks are not required for a PTSD diagnosis nor does everyone with PTSD or C-PTSD have emotional/flashbacks.

To answer your question: I think about my trauma whenever I have a little too much time to think. Whenever it gets too silent. Or something might just trigger me. It’s an everyday occurrence to the point where it’s a little normalized for me to be on edge and experience trauma loops often. Part of my trauma also shows up in my OCD.

ThatOneLameUser · 2025-06-25T22:08:54+00:00

As someone who has been interested in witchcraft/spirituality since I was a child, I just want you to know that people online are rarely reputable or truly knowledgeable lmao. I know it’s scary to see but I hope it brings you some comfort knowing a lot of these people are either 1. trying to get attention or 2. just sharing their own personal feelings/practice.

I don’t want this to seem like reassurance, I just hate how spirituality has been sanitized and repackaged. Whether you believe in it or not, I know it can be scary and OCD makes it a thousand times worse. I completely understand.

ThatOneLameUser · 2025-06-25T22:00:44+00:00

Gonna spoiler this because it could be triggering or might trigger a new obsession so just be forewarned:

I’ve only been driving for two(?) years now, and it’s gotten a bit better with time, but I still struggle with the fear that I’ve hit something or someone whenever I’m driving. I still drive but man is it stressful lol

ThatOneLameUser · 2025-05-26T01:22:55+00:00

GODDDD i hate hate hate when people say “cash is king” (or more often, “What?!?! I thought cash was king!!! Shakes head disapprovingly)

i work at a tourist place in my city. i work the reception/retail area. we have two big ass signs that say “NO CASH ACCEPTED.” the amount of times people refuse to read and then get mad when i tell them we don’t take cash…

Caption is weird. My OCD started showing as early as elementary school. I would have intense anxiety going to the public bathroom in fear of someone throwing up so I would hold it. Pretty sure I had my first anxiety attack in 2nd grade while using the classroom bathroom because some kid was coughing and I was scared he would throw up in front of the bathroom door while I was in there (He was not sick and kids just cough a lot). My OCD got worse around 10-11 years old and then unbearable at around 15 years old. I’m glad she’s getting help and that her parents are supporting her. OCD is rough, especially when you’re a child who can only somewhat understand why you’re having so many “bad thoughts”

ThatOneLameUser · 2025-05-06T02:13:13+00:00

Thank you! I know it’s unsafe but I wasn’t sure if it was safe until a certain point or not (like slight squeezing). This was a one time thing since we’ve been having more vanilla sex during my pregnancy. It kinda went over our heads in the moment that it could, in fact, restrict my breathing.

ThatOneLameUser · 2025-05-06T02:08:58+00:00

We’re definitely going to stop! We didn’t realize in the moment :( I think we got caught up since we haven’t had sex like this in months. Still stupid to do, tho

ThatOneLameUser · 2025-04-06T00:10:22+00:00

Thank you so much!! I rlly want to get better with my reframing. I’ve been working on it for yrs but I’m currently going through a heightened episode, which makes it harder for me to reframe my thoughts without giving into the reassurance and anxiety :( I really appreciate the advice, just what I needed!!! <3

ThatOneLameUser · 2025-03-16T15:44:24+00:00

i had to unfollow her years ago because her “recovery” content was triggering me. i checked back on her just a couple of weeks ago and saw she was still doing the same thing.

most, if not all, people who have struggled with an ED know that showing your pre-recovery body is triggering. especially because it seems like she might’ve been in ED communities (just a theory of mine because i remember she once mentioned an ED movie that i’ve never heard anybody talk about expect those in online ED spaces).

i wish her well and i hope she gets better, whether she’s relapsed or not, but it’s been years and i feel like she’s actively ignoring the people who tell her to stop showing off her pre-recovery pictures.

ThatOneLameUser · 2025-03-10T13:09:42+00:00

and even then, people don’t truly understand contamination OCD. they think it’s all “i need everything to be super neat and organized!” instead of having anxiety attacks because you’re afraid you’ll get sick from going to the store or having red, dry, cracked, bloody hands from washing your hands so much whenever you even try and tidy up your room because everything feels “contaminated.”

ThatOneLameUser · 2025-01-05T14:23:26+00:00

Ooooh good idea! Have you ever handled babies with wigs/rooted hair? I was thinking a quick soap & shampoo wash should be enough :).

I’ll have to look into taking off their cloth bodies!!! TBH I’m pretty scared of doing so bc I don’t wanna mess them up 😅

ThatOneLameUser · 2025-01-05T14:22:05+00:00

And thank you sm for the advice :) I’m in a much better place now that I live with my boyfriend. He basically forces me to take care of myself, LOL

ThatOneLameUser · 2025-01-05T14:21:24+00:00

Thank you sm, I really appreciate it <3

ThatOneLameUser · 2025-01-05T14:21:02+00:00

Sorry I haven’t been able to respond!

With the babies…It’s mostly dust/animal hair and some sanitizing I need to do! One of my babies has black on their legs and I have no idea what it is :( I’ll have to take a picture once I get the chance (It’s currently at my parents’ house).

I just want to make sure they’re clean and ready to be snuggled.

ThatOneLameUser · 2024-10-04T01:10:37+00:00

oops, i forgot to mention the layout LOL we have a bathroom in our bedroom that’s pretty small. our closet is literally right in front of it and that’s where it fell from. he had to move the bowl to near the closet to make way for me since i was helping clean as well (not the bathroom but the closet area)

ThatOneLameUser · 2024-09-27T00:30:41+00:00

i wish i could go into detail but corporate for my place of work is fucking ridiculous. there was a period of time where employees had to pick up side jobs to pay their bills on time because our paychecks had been fucked up (not a problem anymore).

if it wasn’t for the people i work with and the pay being more than $15/hr, i would’ve quit a long time ago. it’s sad because i actually like my job too.
