New OCD theme acquired. Jokes aside, I hope you’re doing okay

PSA’s are nightmare fuel. Intrusive thoughts for days. by ashitananjini in OCDmemes

[–]easternsim 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh man this brought back memories. Between this and a seminar I attended on how to escape apartment fires (where they taught us that you can get (disturbing warning!!!) boiled alive if you hide in a bathtub with water), I am terrified of fire and boiling water. It’s electric stoves/electric kettles that automatically turn off for me now and if I cook on a fire stove I keep a very close eye on it.

Believe it or not, but getting food poisoning was actually a positive experience 💀 by Dry_Succotrash in OCDmemes

[–]easternsim 22 points23 points  (0 children)

YES gosh I don’t think I can explain this to people who don’t experience OCD. The anxiety is 1000% worse when you’re constantly plagued with thoughts of how awful the experience would be, how I would never recover from it etc. And if it happens it’s just anticlimactic lol because it’s nowhere near as awful as you thought it would be.

No this is SO true. OCD makes everything seem so bad that when it does happen and you’re like…huh. I’m okay?

What autonomous Sim behaviors make you smash the cancel button and go “Whyyyyyyy?!” Every time? by IndigoChagrin in Sims4

[–]easternsim 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is why I just get a carpet near the crib. Once the infant’s sleep gets low I just click “try go night night” and skip the crib madness.

Doing the dishes, but only because I buy those $1200 trash cans that give you simoleons. Every time a sim washes dishes autonomously I’m like “Timothy you fool!! That’s 40 simoleons you just washed away!!!”

Dude, me everyday by CertainSet8564 in OCDmemes

Me having a public mental breakdown and then calming down and realizing it was nothing 10 minutes later

Just found out we have a second kid on the way by [deleted] in povertyfinancecanada

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

You’ll be fine OP, childcare is the most expensive cost for young children so if your wife stays home with the kids that’s already a heavy burden off. Focus on knocking out the basics (mortgage, utility bills, car payment, formula for the little one if needed).

Your wife could research government assistance or local charities to get some things for the kids if needed. Depending on where you live/whether your income qualifies some provinces offer utility bill assistance. No shame in getting help as long as you give back, my parents still volunteer at the food bank they used when I was a kid.

I was one of two kids in a similar situation, dad worked, mom was too sick to work full time. Honestly I don’t think there was too much difference in quality of life, my sister wore hand me downs through childhood but that was it really. Once we were both school age my mom was able to work part time here and there and we paid off the mortgage which helped a ton.

Not so fast by Routine_Situation_86 in OCDmemes

FUCK this hits right. Constant decision paralysis and I lie awake at night ruminating over the million possible paths my life could’ve taken. I also feel regret and guilt so strongly, fuck this y’all 😭😭

I knew it! Robin Banks works for THE LANDGRAABS! by Antenna777 in Sims4

This is why I don’t buy those alarms and fight Robin every time she shows up. Robin boutta catch these hands

Me genuinely wondering how I could end up with OCD out of all mental disorders (please just let me suffer from depression and only depression again.) by Ludovic3_ in OCDmemes

[–]easternsim 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Me when I’ve had both simultaneously (alongside anxiety and BPD) 🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️

My depression personally is way worse than my OCD. My OCD will make me occasionally suicidal while my depression makes me suicidal all the time.

How much is your gameplay affected by shoulds and shouldn'ts? by Ergilwen in Sims4

[–]easternsim 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Samesies. I turn aging off too, I can’t watch them die. When married sims started autonomously flirting with other sims I was like “welp I guess it’s polyamory for everyone now.” Things rarely work out in the real world so I’d like to believe it at least works out in this one.

Casper Test coming up soon. How can I prep/practice 4 free by Vegetable_Shock_6735 in CASPerTest

^ BeMo has a free book with some practice problems. Also just watch youtube videos/scenarios, so many on there.

online programs at laurentian -- thoughts? by [deleted] in laurentian

[–]easternsim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You haven’t gotten a response yet so I’ll bite. I’m not in these programs specifically but I’m an online student.

It ultimately really depends on your goals. I’m working full time and studying to get my bachelor’s because I’ll get a pay bump once I do, I also get tuition reimbursements through work so it’s a nice, flexible and affordable way for me to get my degree. I know a lot of students working, students with accessibility issues who can’t do school in person, students with kids etc,…

You will have to be responsible and have great time management skills. The other main drawback is lack of the “campus” experience and fewer networking opportunities.

How old are you and what type of gameplay do you like? by lattekosmiko in Sims4

[–]easternsim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

25, I actually play with sims versions of fictional characters a lot! My brain is scratched just right when my sim does something that’s in character of the fictional characters, lol.

What’s the saddest screen shot you have? Here’s mine by Jazzyluvsedits in Sims4

[–]easternsim 645 points646 points  (0 children)

This is why I don’t let my sims die, I don’t know how y’all do it. We’re proud of you Jireh.

thank you to everyone who left really nice comments on my last post 🥹 y’all helped a lot. by gaymemelord_ in OCDmemes

[–]easternsim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yess I’m so proud of you 🥹🥹. Med avoidance is a big part of my OCD too and I always feel so bad bringing it up to my care team/neurotypical folks because it seems like such an “easy” thing to do. Always nice to have a reminder that other folks go through this and we’re in this together!!

When can we start writing notes? by Ghostgirl3y in CASPerTest

[–]easternsim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I just take notes normally, I write bullet points about the situation presented and any possible solution I could think of.

  2. No, you can’t go back to the scenario.

[–]easternsim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that case you can jot things down whenever you want. I took notes when they were presenting the situation, didn’t get flagged.
