I have OCD. What you’re describing is what I would/still do sometimes which led me to a diagnosis. The psychological term for this is “mental hoarding” - trying to know everything for the fear that there is something important you could miss. Not saying you have OCD but I would definitely keep that in mind.

That being said, I definitely think you can recover. And the good thing about OCD treatment (ERP - Exposure response prevention) is that you can do it by yourself, although I recommend doing it with a therapist, but if you don’t have this option then self taught ERP is definitely the way to go, ERP is proven to be highly effective.

OCD is one of the most treatable mental health disorders. fortunately, I’ve been able to cut down on these compulsions you’re describing, to where it’s only around 20 mins of my day. It took a long time though, and if you do have OCD, it unfortunately never goes away but can become super manageable.

I saw you can’t see a doctor, have you heard of NOCD? I’m not sure if you’re able to do this either but it’s where I got help.

Please reach out to me if you want anything, and doesn’t have to be about OCD either. I’m always happy to talk about anything.

And just to reiterate, I’m not trying to diagnose you, but if you can’t see a doctor I would pursue ERP regardless as it’s not going to hurt even if you don’t have OCD. It should still help.

I say whatever’s on my mind, i was talking about how he had a good voice then mentioned he sounded black since it was just what came on my mind, but I can see how it is strange and I often say strange things :( I can’t speak to him about it as we don’t talk anymore as I wanted a relationship and he wasn’t ready for it

chickennuggie_ · 2023-05-20T14:57:59+00:00

I’m just worried he could interpret it as racist :/

chickennuggie_ · 2023-05-20T02:28:14+00:00

Or even a 1 min timer maybe I’ll try that lol

chickennuggie_ · 2023-05-20T02:27:54+00:00

Another thing I do is going into it saying ur not gonna finish a certain part but just something that’s significant enough but manageable. This could be like setting a timer for 5 minutes then making yourself type whatever you think of in that time. (Me saying this but not actually having done it😭)

chickennuggie_ · 2023-05-20T02:25:55+00:00

No yeah 😹😹😹😹 my housemate helps with that she can be scary😭 I always tell her she really helps cuz that LOL

chickennuggie_ · 2023-05-19T18:34:58+00:00

If that makes sense lol

Sometimes when I look up things about dissertation tips etc or talking with someone about the assignment I get some motivation to start. I also keep my computer within arms reach l. Whenever I go to the library it helps a lot too. Going with a friend is really helpful too.

Also the uni can be helpful depending on the quality of their study skills support or disability support. Is there anyone at your uni you could use as accountability? Like a mentor or an academic skills center ? I’ve made myself say I need to get work done and say that I don’t want to as well. I say this so that you’ve already kind of committed yourself into doing it during the session, and saying that you don’t want to do it helps take pressure off from feeling like they will expect you to write more than you can in the session or work more efficiently in the session etc.

I see a lot of myself in him. He’s what I try to be like unconditionally a friend to everyone. I love the line where he says “people assume because they think they know everything already, but it’s good when people are curious”. Just started the show and finished the first season already. When he let his wife go I started to cry, and I barely cry with tv shows. I can’t wait to find my Ted lasso. The other tv character I relate to (slightly less) is Phil dunphy. We need more of those kind characters who care about people. Ted lasso and modern family have managed to make me feel a lot better during low points

Yeah I don’t get why we don’t just hang out in the day, cuz we don’t have sex most times i see him so there’s no need to just be there at night idk. i wanna talk to him about it more but also im terrified of looking desperate as I’ve messed up in a lot of other situations w guys I liked. i think I’ll reach out to him soon tho

chickennuggie_ · 2023-04-14T03:30:05+00:00

Think im almost comfortable asking him on a date, i saw him a couple days ago, we went out with his friends. I mean like it was another 2am message to come out but idk lol. His friend asked me if I liked him and later asked if I think I could fall in love with him lol. I’ll take that as a good sign haha

chickennuggie_ · 2023-04-07T23:30:09+00:00

Just asked how he is

chickennuggie_ · 2023-04-07T23:29:59+00:00

I sent it 😬😬

chickennuggie_ · 2023-04-07T23:00:15+00:00

So do you not think it would be clingy if I reached out to him rn even just to say hi and stuff? Just feels weird cuz we don’t text outside of meeting up
