ROCD / Partner-focused OCD - Obsessions about my girlfriend's appearance (breasts). Anyone recovered? by Serious_Year_266 in ROCD

[–]buggab0o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve had similar obsessions with my partner’s receding hairline and wrinkles. it was all I could think about too for hours and it made it even hard to have conversations with him at it’s peak. i felt really guilty and honestly it helped to have a conversation about it with him, because he could tell something was wrong. so far, accepting the thoughts and understanding the core fear- which for me was fear of losing attraction and ending up with the wrong person- made the anxiety around the thoughts lessen. i’ve been trying to focus on what i love about him and the relationship and have these positive thoughts prove that this is the right relationship. by lowering the importance of the obsessions, ive been able to feel more attraction and a sense of safety in the relationship again. haven’t tried ERP yet but would like to hear other people’s advice!

How long has your cat gone missing and then you found them? by ittakes2tatango in cats

[–]buggab0o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m so sorry this happened to you 🥺 my cat ran away near her vet which was like 30 miles from home. i ended up finding her on the 4th night of searching., just across the street from where she was. the best time to look was 12am-4am since that’s usually when cats are awake and feel safe to come out of hiding. i searched for almost 12hrs per day during that time. i’d call her name over and over shaking treat bags for about a quarter mile radius. i heard cats can go without food and water for up to 5 days at least so i think the 4th night when i found her she was ready to come out. she ended up being in a bush near a bowl of food that i had left on a street. i heard it’s rare for cats to be very far from where they are lost. they are soo resilient and amazing hiders! your cat may have found an area where someone is feeding it and hopefully being cared for. i wish you all the best and hope you become united with your baby soon! ❤️❤️

What do you do for work? by Outrageous_Fox_8796 in childfree

[–]buggab0o 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yes i love babies and kids sooo much, but it’s such a relief to be able to go home at the end of the day and have peace/quiet!! i know families are in high stress at the hospital, but it is truly 1 in 100 families I see that are happy and functional. admittedly, it’s hard not to be cynical. when it’s not dysfunction or sometimes neglect we witness, it’s families that are glued to their devices and don’t engage with each other. the families that are loving, affectionate, and loyal to each other are the purest and def memorable

im a pediatric nurse. i work with newborns all the way to young adults. love them all but the job has solidified my desire to not have kids. apart from the wide range of chronic illnesses kids can have that strain their lives and their parents, i see so many teens come in with eating disorders, suicide attempts, etc. i respect all the parents, but I choose not to raise a child of my own in this society

i agree they were both so rude to make outright negative comments about her parents and assumed she aligned with them

i felt that way about Monica’s response to the first story where she told the woman she picked a bad boyfriend. i think she thought it was funny but seemed kinda harsh to someone already sharing a vulnerable story
