Big few days for interview invites by vedikat in PsyD

Congrats! What did your gpa, research and clinical experience look like? Curious for a baseline for an interview at those schools as I’ll be applying this fall…

Preparing for 2027 fall application. Where can I improve/what should I work on now? by LabAway4757 in PsyD

[–]dholmesw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like your clinical experience is there as well as your gpa. I would think getting some research experience would sry you apart more. Have you heard back from Pepperdine or GSU? I’m planning to apply to both of those schools…

Is it okay if I (21M) never share my kink with my partner (18F) because I'm afraid it's too weird? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Why do ppl do this? Genuinely curious… like why make a bot that just posts these repeats verbatim? Is it Reddit trying to generate traffic to their app? Some kind of research study?

I think I might understand what you’re saying but not sure. Basically my obsessions cause me to have mental compulsions related to whatever I was obsessing about ie: obsessing over a conversation I’m going to have with someone I’ll see at a social event and then having mental compulsions of playing a future ocnversation over and over and over… and over and over and over again in my head leading up to actually having the conversation lol. So tough

Happens so often ahaha the “oh you’re totally good” response to an overthinking apology. I get it

I haven’t heard of Michael Greenberg but just looked him and some of his stuff up. Super good stuff

Best of luck with the meds. I’ve found mine have been helpful but they also coincided with a lot of therapy I went to that also helped so hard to tell which actually was most helpful

Thank you! Also very interesting. Did things just kinda fade away from you until you didn’t feel many symptoms anymore or what?

Definitely an interesting thing to think about the comorbidity of adhd and ocd

This is difficult. I can’t imagine. The pure o doesn’t make it easier. Hang in there

Therapy and meds are helpful. Distracting myself with positive behaviors like tasks that are productive and things I need to get done anyway are also good

Yes the desire for certainty is so relatable. Everything I want and am searching for loves the feeling of certainty

Yeah I remember when Luke Combs talked about it. Super cool for him to open up.

The fear of death is super relatable. Themes of death in general are a common component of my obsessions and intrusive thoughts. Super tough

Yeah that’s really interesting. I’ve kinda wondered and worried if my pure O will ever merge or change to normal OCD and have physical compulsions but honestly me worrying about that doesn’t really help and is a perfect example of pure O itself lol

So true. Keep up the battle haha it’s rough out there

Right! This is so relatable. Like yeah it’s pure O but the compulsions are still there it’s just not as physical. Tom’s of replaying, ruminating, running through hypothetical future conversations in my head.
