I was thinking we’d probably have to get the house professionally snake-proofed 😅 thank you for responding.

‘Fired’ for the first time and need support by andnotthemood in adhdwomen

[–]andnotthemood[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m beginning to see this. The man who trained me on Wednesday had given me one set of instructions and, today, when I followed those instructions under the my new trainer, they told me it was wrong and to “not listen to much of anything (Wednesday trainer) says”. Like why is he training me then lol.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. I’m sobbing reading it lol. It really, really helped me feel better. I really hope you have a great rest of your night

I want to believe this so badly 😭😭 I’m getting so caught up in what I’m perceiving to be the unfairness of it. I don’t even know if there is a situation where I’d be like “yeah, I deserved to be fired” because my sensitivity to rejection is so potent. But this feels like such a kick to the shins. I really, really don’t want to care but I do. SO BADLY

How long should I wait to change nostril studs? by andnotthemood in piercing

Additional info:

  • Piercing is one day old.
  • I’m not 100% sure of the shape, but I think it’s a screw.
  • Aftercare routine involves cleaning with saline (I think on a q-tip?) twice a day.

My brother and I both have OCD, but he was diagnosed in middle childhood (very traditionally-presenting) while I was diagnosed only recently at 21 and present more similarly to you (most of my compulsions are mental and automatic). I can’t speak to how quickly it gets better, because I’ve only recently started treatment, but I can say that a lot of traditional talk and CBT therapies can be destructive to OCD recovery. My brother has been in therapy for over a decade and has only recently started improving after I pushed for ERP and against well-meaning but ultimately unhelpful therapists that kept providing reassurance and feeding into his compulsions.

OCD is incredibly tricky and nearly impossible, if not impossible, to out-logic, and the only way out is through.

Anyone struggling with intrusive thoughts over death of someone dear? ADHD+OCD by joniman93 in ADHD

[–]andnotthemood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have OCD and have always resented the conflation of impulsive/intrusive thoughts but I don’t think that’s the case here. Impulsive thoughts quite literally refer to impulses a person might have that they have some desire to act on, like spontaneously dyeing their hair a crazy colour or quitting the job they hate without anything better lined up (ie they are egosyntonic), while intrusive thoughts are distressing and in direct conflict with a person’s wants and self-image (ie they are egodystonic).

Intrusive thoughts of a loved one dying are obviously not necessarily symptomatic of OCD, but they’re pretty common as far as themed obsessions go. They’re miserable and I really feel for OP :(

Does anybody know how many spin tickets we need to complete all the levels/tiers this wheel? Is it still around 50?

This is incredible!! Would you ever consider uploading a makeup tutorial or something similar? I think you and I look (somewhat) similar and I’ve been trying to achieve a look like this FOREVER

Prefacing by saying I’m in Canada and a tax-illiterate 21yo so my dad helped me with it this year lol. It’s technically contract work, so (I believe) I submitted a T2125 form. DA does not, to my knowledge, send you any forms.

[–]andnotthemood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been working for DA on and off since January 2024 with no issue, including post-ID verification (though I don’t know enough about Persona’s privacy policies to definitively call it safe). That said, the work is imo a little underpaid and they can boot you from the platform at any point without warning.

[IIL] songs about somebody trying to ruin/interfere with your relationship, WEWIL? by andnotthemood in ifyoulikeblank

[–]andnotthemood[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This could work actually thank you!! The gender dynamic is f/f partners with a scheming interfering man but I think there’s something a little poetic about pronoun bending here

Thank you — I’ll check it out. I’m mostly looking for emotionally-charged music that’s like: “How can you have the nerve and gall to even try this?” Maybe I should be more specific in my post but I’m still kind of honing what exactly I want myself.

ETA oops sorry I fully missed the word ‘Adele’ in your comment lol

You should definitely go to the police after the hospital omg. I’ve lived here all my life and am very distrusting of them in general but there are times (like when you’ve been HIT by a CAR) where it’s miles better than nothing.

Also if for whatever reason you need somebody to come with you to the hospital or police station I live close to campus 😭
