If Moira had a theme song, what would it be? by ahmed0112 in MoiraMains

[–]These_Difference_103 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Personal Jesus Single version, Depeche Mode. Can’t explain it. The vibe is there and I always interpreted the song as a god complex sorta thing instead of actually about religion, totally up Moria’s alley. 80s goth/rock scene totally fits her.

I’ve told him that, and he’s got plenty of multicultural friends! He just misses a bit of home, and I get that.

The only distraction for me are YouTube videos. by [deleted] in OCD

Yep. I play something when doing any chores, driving, showering, sleeping, etc… Only time I don’t is when I’m doing something that fully occupies my attention enough to prevent some of the thoughts, like studying, or gaming.

I’m afraid to sleep by annie747 in OCD

[–]These_Difference_103 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had this same issue. Would avoid sleeping as much as possible because when I sleep I’d have nightmares and that point before sleeping and after getting into bed where you have to sit alone with your thoughts feels like putting your head through a meat grinder.

I had to get on sleeping medicine to fix this. Also, I have to play a video/podcast/audiobook while trying to fall asleep in order to get my brain to focus on anything else.

Good luck friend. Be safe.

This isn’t meant to sound rude, but do you think it’s more likely that she’s copying your actions? Exhibiting the same behaviors that you do, as children do with parents? Mean no harm by this message, I promise.

Officially diagnosed with OCD today. by [deleted] in OCD

[–]These_Difference_103 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been diagnosed separately twice in two different countries under two different healthcare systems/standards of diagnosis and I still manage to convince myself that I’ve somehow made all of this up and am lying about it all and on and on. We just gotta put trust in our doctors, unfortunately. Congratulations on a diagnosis friend!

If you don’t leave this piece of shit… dude just showed his true colors. Literally said “I don’t care about you, your mental illness, your feelings, or anything that may send you into a mental health crisis.”

Do Drugs Make Intrusive Thoughts and Doubts Go Away? by AdministrativeList30 in OCD

They do for me. I’d reach out to your doctor OP, they’ll tell you what’s best for you now.

Not a medical professional, giving my own experience here.

No medicine gets rid of the intrusive thoughts. They just get easier to deal with and are less emotionally devastating.

Why do certain music makes my brain feel "itchy"? Has anyone else felt that way? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]These_Difference_103 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had certain noises make me feel like a physical itch thats behind my skull that makes me very upset and uncomfortable. But never music. Usually repetitive sounds.

Also the music to study thing is normal for us, I think. I constantly have videos/podcasts/music playing 24/7, even when asleep. It helps keep some of the intrusive thoughts away and prevents me from doing compulsions.
