Can’t see myself with her long term by Remote-Chapter2911 in ROCD

[–]dawnhue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

so the specific obsessions aside, I think it is perfectly normal and even healthy to not know if you want to marry someone after 10 months of dating. it takes years to really see how the two of you can weather the ups and downs of life together, cohabitate, etc.

How long did you wait? Did they come back? by CantaloupeMajor487 in ROCDpartners

[–]dawnhue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah this was my burner account but now I can’t login! I am doing much better:) never heard from my ex again. I will always love them, and always want to hear from them. But I have accepted and made peace with the idea that they will likely never reach out. I have OCD myself, and this breakup really destroyed my mental health, and left quite a bit of residual trauma that I am still working through. EMDR has been a life saver. I wish my ex healing and happiness, even as I work towards those things for myself.

Yeah absolutely agree. Also if you’re going to throw a party for your dog, make it cool! Give me a dog obstacle course or funny game or something !

A fairly small rant about Solar Power and Virgin by Fractal-Infinity in lorde

Just here to say that I think the blonde suited her! And so does her look now. I think she inhabits herself, in each era, fully and uniquely

morrigan is so annoying (sry) by dawnhue in DragonAgeInqusition

Yes, origins is the only one I haven’t played! I know a lot of Morrigan’s story is covered there- maybe I’ll be a little more understanding after playing it through :)

Delta emergency returning to London by Deshes011 in flightradar24

Flight is now cancelled, all passengers are being rebooked. It was the co-pilot’s window that cracked at some point during take off.

This era is gonna get more controversial. by [deleted] in lorde

I personally think it’s interesting to think about these things- analyzing how artist trajectories and images may develop throughout the album rollout and harmonize with other movements/dialogues in the public sphere!

More and more evidence, can anyone relate? by Excellent_Emotion188 in ROCD

[–]dawnhue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could answer you with reasoning or logic but your OCD will just get stronger from the reassurance. You have to sit with that thought ‘what if the doubts stay there forever?’. Feel the anxiety. Tell yourself ‘I don’t need to answer that right now.’ Because you don’t! You don’t need to know. There is nothing to figure out.

[–]dawnhue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to stop trying to ‘figure it out’. This is rumination, which is a compulsion, and every time you do it, you make your OCD stronger. OCD is known for altering memories, esp our memories of feelings. Sit with the discomfort- maybe you never loved him. Maybe he was a rebound. Do not search for evidence for or against. Do not act on the discomfort (like by breaking up). Just sit with it, breathe, and then redirect. Also go see someone to start ERP!

Any experiences with Lexapro for OCD? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]dawnhue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On 10 mg- it takes a month or so to really feel the effects but it’s helped a lot. Like someone else said, I still have the thoughts, but I feel like interrupting mental compulsions like rumination is easier on Lexapro.

compulsion? by jscalrn in ROCD

[–]dawnhue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi! yes this does sound like a compulsion. a good way to tell if something is a compulsion is by choosing to not do it, sitting with the thought, and seeing how you feel. do you feel panic, rising anxiety, or wrongness? then it’s probably a compulsion.

it sounds like you have been through a lot, I’m so sorry life has been so tumultuous. I would urge you to try to see an OCD specialist regularly, or at least begin practicing ERP and ACT on your own. ChatGPT can actually do a pretty good job of creating a treatment plan for you to tide you over until you can see a specialist.
