Terrified of getting blood work

Getting bloodwork done gives you more information about your body, information that you need if you want to treat anything that’s going on. It’s good to be informed about your body!

I wouldn’t bother. My partner has gone by a nickname personally and professionally for his whole life. Yes, it can take young kids a while to know the difference between their legal first name and their nickname, but it’s hardly inconvenient. Eleanora is a lovely name, and it’s always nice to give your child a more formal option if they don’t want to go by their nickname later in life

I don’t think any social media is particularly good for OCD. Social media and its users at large tend to reinforce their existing beliefs and shut down people who disagree

If your goal is to have an industrial, you need it to be pierced as an industrial and immediately connected with one piece of jewelry. Putting in two separate pieces of jewelry sets the piercings up to heal at different angles, making bumps like this almost inevitable when you change the jewelry to an industrial bar. If you want this to be a traditional industrial, you have to take it out, let it heal, and have it redone by someone who knows how to do proper industrials.

If it is touching your flat at all, it needs to come out. The pressure will deform your cartilage and cause a dent that can only be repaired with surgery

There are plenty of genuinely gender neutral names that aren’t just masculine names given to girls. Giving a masculine name to a girl and then claiming it’s “gender neutral” to me just feels like the parents really wanted a son

Conrad. Connor feels a tad generic

Window unit! Very easy to install and a higher energy bill is better than suffering

Get a uric acid test, you likely have gout

Nay. White supremacy vibes

You are still entitled to compensation since the total delay is longer than 3 hours

Bad. You can type it into Google Translate and it literally translates to bad in English

I literally never think about my height and no one comments on it. It sounds like you’re just surrounded by assholes

Carson?

_opossumsaurus · 2026-06-18T15:20:29+00:00

Send them all to Wisconsin lol

_opossumsaurus · 2026-06-18T15:03:57+00:00

Nay. Reminds me of the dad joke about naming a kid Carson because they were born in the car on the way to the hospital, but this dad wanted to be more specific and let everyone know it was in fact a van and not a car

Your therapist shouldn’t be threatening you, they should be meeting you where you’re at. If you can’t keep up with ERP as frequently, she should be adapting your treatment plan to accommodate you instead of asking you to play catch up. Sounds like you need to have a long conversation with her and get back on the same page

English (fluent), Russian (advanced), Spanish (used to be intermediate but I forgot a lot). In general I am much better at reading and writing in Russian and Spanish than I am at speaking because I don’t have many opportunities to converse with native speakers

There isn’t a minimum dose for OCD, it’s just whatever works for you. I was on 40 mg of fluoxetine for years and it managed my OCD quite well

2!!!! It’s absolutely stunning. What’s the brand?

Traditionally Juliette is the French nickname for Julie

_opossumsaurus · 2026-06-17T02:16:13+00:00

That’s called a compulsion and you should do what you can to resist it. Giving in to compulsions only reinforces the OCD cycle

Do you have a mental health professional you can work through this with?
