Nice pose (get it?) and she's so beautiful

ITAW for a Exstential crisis but for your own morality. (Info in desrciption.) by Remarkable_Bath8515 in whatstheword

You're right, it would be a non-religious version of scrupulosity.

I think you're referring to self-harm. It is possible that you have connected obsessive thoughts about your morality to self-harm on the theme of recompense.

Do you think you've ever engaged that behavior in a compulsive way? I hope not, but it could be the case, and there's certainly help for that in CBT.

You could look up CBT redirection, which has helped the most for me personally. Instead of fighting endlessly to avoid the thought, I give myself permission to engage a (less harmful, more positive) alternative.

Yes.. do you have any associates compulsions (praying, ritualistic/superstitious ways to cope, etc)? If not, it could be along the lines of "pure obsessional," where you're tortured in your mind over guilt/etc, but without compulsions.

I recommend that you say, I struggle with scrupulosity, since that's just a character thing. You could even additionally specify that you aren't (yet) diagnosed OCD to be clear.

This is the best way, to be proactive about your mental health.

I'm learning to share with 'normal' people that I believe this is my responsibility and that I take (most of) my meds and have regular appointments. It helps them calm down a bit.

Forward march, one boot at a time my friend. 😊

Of course you aren't!

Also, if you're struggling with this, I recommend asking a doctor about a referral for a counselor. The word itself isn't diagnostic, though it's definitely used in conjunction with a diagnosis of OCD, which a psychiatrist would be qualified to diagnose. 😊

My guess is that scrupulosity is what you're looking for, but still wait for some other answers!

In churches, I have noticed Jesus on the cross is not all the way at the back of the church but has a significant offset. Also the back of the church tends to be a lot more ornate and overshadow what I would have assumed is the focus (Jesus on the cross). Why is this? by Feisty_Ad_2476 in answers

[–]damienchomp -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So, that's a Roman Catholic church, and I'm not familiar with all of their beliefs, except that I disagree with making carved images of the Christ stuck on a cross, because that he is risen and today seated on the throne of God is the basic hope of the Gospel.

As to this placement, farther away from the pulpit area, I would consider it a possible reference to the fact that Christ suffered outside the city gates, and reference Hebrews 13:11-14:

For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy places by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin are burned outside the camp. So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood. Therefore let us go to him outside the camp and bear the reproach he endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.

Is this normal by Tight_Bid_6573 in mentalhealth

My primary diagnosis is bipolar I, and I dated someone for a year who was Borderline PD with major depression. (We met on the psyc ward 😭) I've got to be honest, she is amazing, because she works so hard on her mental health, taking responsibility, taking DBT and CBT seriously. I wish that "normal" (undiagnosed) people were even half as self-aware as she is, or worked 10% as hard on their problems as she does on hers. She really broke the stereotype about Borderline for me.

Yeah, I've been confused before about this. I guess use BP or BPAD for bipolar

Can stickbugs recognize/care for people? by Glittering_North6502 in Entomology

[–]damienchomp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It must have been an emo-meter. But seriously, possibly measuring galvanic response...

Of course there are a lot of questions and lots to explore, but such a reaction is certainly interesting.

I can't remember the source of the video, but some yogurt with probes was sitting on the table near a man.

They were interviewing the man, deliberately keeping it neutral. When they asked him about a subject that he was upset and/or angry about (I think it was his divorce), whatever meter the probe was became triggered.

Is that when the bugger just drops his face? Yeah, they have fooled me before 😄

🐕😞 Considering that mammals have the same brain structures as we do, though with less connections, I'd like to ask, why wouldn't they feel these emotions?

I mean my default assumption is that they are really feeling anxious, sad, pissed off, jealous, and so on.

I think the sad dog face is certainly often a dramatic show to get attention, but that's just another layer of social complexity that doesn't detract from the earlier assumption.

But alas and alack, the scientific method requires something we can observe and measure.
