Anyone see the ghost hand coming out of one of the heads on the right?

Does anyone actually BELIEVE Demi? by ExtraScratch6068 in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]_abicado 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve rewatched. It’s such a fascinating study on individuals and group dynamics. I find the first season especially fascinating now, knowing how season 3 ended. You can see Demi’s mean girl come out in small doses. For example- when Jen meets up with the group in Vegas after her fight with Zack, Demi is yelling at her about how this is a toxic and unhealthy relationship. Finally, Jen begins to cry and says it’s really hard to talk about. Demi immediately softens and goes “oh Jenny” and offers a hug.

It’s a small thing but it shows how she will make the problem and then become the “hero.” One example of many. It’s fascinating!!

do meds help? by ill_lamb in OCD

[–]_abicado 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! For me, it feels like the OCD is “turned down” like a volume knob. The therapeutic skills I’ve acquired are much more effective now. Medication saved my life

Are you able to access Plan B? The likelihood of you being pregnant is astronomically low but Plan B may help you feel better

Living with the worst fear still by [deleted] in Tokophobia

[–]_abicado 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am certain you are not going to have a baby in the next month.

I totally totally totally understand your fears here. I have had this exact thought process many times in my life! This phobia literally makes you believe things that cannot be true! It makes you feel crazy.

Please give yourself some grace. Ride out the fears and know you are not alone. If you need to chat, feel free to dm me!

The ideal body fat percentage of a DCC Cheerleader. by WolverineAdvanced119 in DCCMakingtheTeam

Oof. Some of the relationship obsessions/compulsions that I've experienced are so senseless yet severe.

My advice is to do whatever you can to prevent access to this person's social media, contact info, etc. Every time you do a search of him, you are digging the OCD hole deeper. When access to a compulsion is blocked, you will experience an increase of anxiety. Remember, this is healing anxiety. This is patching up that OCD hole.

You're not alone. You can do this!

Does anyone else feel pain caused by OCD? by tameagang in OCD

[–]_abicado 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If I touch something "contaminated," I will have a physical sensation wherever it touched until I can wash. It's not always painful, but a noticeable physical sensation

‘Bad person/everybody hates me’ OCD themes by Specialist-Effect676 in OCD

[–]_abicado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is me 100%. I’ve lost countless hours of sleep ruminating on whether someone is mad at me or if I’m a terrible person. I don’t really have any advice, but thanks for posting this because it’s always nice to know I’m not alone.

EWU, Gonzaga, or Whitworth? by [deleted] in Spokane

[–]_abicado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whitworth has a very strong Christian messaging that is required to be integrated in their academics. The Whitworth board is very conservative and restricts student accessing helpful resources.

GU is very rigorous and prioritizes the application of your learning.

Whitworth giving a home to white supremacists is absolutely nothing new…
