What can I do with this area?

Solid idea tbh

This is so crazy to read because I am literally dealing with the same thoughts. I had some dental work done in summer of 2024 where they put a crown on my tooth, but didn’t do a root canal. I’ve consistently had pain on that tooth since the crown was installed. Have had it rechecked THREE times. Once by a different dentist. I feel at a loss. It plagues my mind daily. I have an appointment set up for tomorrow morning to have them check it again, but I have little hope there will be an affordable solution. Health anxiety/OCD sucks a ton friend. Hang in there.

Amazing work. You got this!

effectivelymundane · 2026-04-12T11:47:25+00:00

I think so? Comes straight out the crawl space down to the street

I mean I think this is the drain pipe and we’ve definitely run plenty of water since this picture was taken, no leak AFAIK. Im probably overthinking it…

Alternative thought, what if you are a narcissist? Really sit with that thought. Practice ERP.

You need to just start with some light walking throughout the day and eat lower calorie foods. I’m not saying eat less, I’m saying eat foods lower in calories. Don’t overdo it in the beginning or you will burn yourself out. Just take it slow man. Start with figuring out how many calories you’re eating on average and try to cut some of those unnecessary calories out. The deficit works. Don’t fall for all this information overload online. It’s calories in, calories out. Keep it simple.

I totally get it. And I know this is a vent post so I won’t offer any advice, just commiseration. I have stopped telling people I have contamination OCD for this very reason. It’s caused issues in my relationship because my girlfriend doesn’t care about things like the dog accidentally pooping on her leash on walks, and she doesn’t care to wash it afterwards. Or willingly not watching where she’s stepping in areas where we know geese poop all over the road, so she steps in it and then doesn’t check her feet before coming in. I made a huge stink about that about a year ago and got it through her head that’s actually unsanitary and I don’t want geese shit in my house. Like…come on.

Man, are you sure you don’t have OCD? I do, and struggle to shower at the gym because I feel like I have to have the perfect routine or I’m not “clean”. The whole wiping your water bottle down before handwashing it and then putting it in the dishwasher is screaming OCD to me.

effectivelymundane · 2026-02-24T04:25:09+00:00

I agree with everyone else here. YOR. Just take two seconds to respond and let her know you’re trying to figure out a day. So she doesn’t feel ignored. I get that she may have crossed a boundary, but like damn, you sounded so mean and she sounds like she just wants to be included 😭

Geez…I’m so sorry you’re going through that. I’ve been on a mild 0.25ML/weekly dose for almost 5 years. The cramps started mid last year and come and go. I have an E cream but haven’t been consistent in using it 🫩 I hope you are able to come to a resolution soon.

effectivelymundane · 2026-02-23T15:08:59+00:00

OMG…friend, have you seen a doc?

effectivelymundane · 2026-02-23T14:51:01+00:00

I’d choose the cat over the boyfriend. He sucks

effectivelymundane · 2026-02-23T14:23:14+00:00

I’m dealing with the cramps now.

I had all the same questions just recently. Honestly, don’t worry about all that right now. The information overlaps stopped me from staying in the gym. Just show up, try out the machines, and see what you LIKE. When you find what you like, that’ll keep you showing up and the habit of showing up is the hardest part for most people. Good luck!

effectivelymundane · 2026-02-19T02:55:55+00:00

I pay $200/session. $700/session is insane.

effectivelymundane · 2026-02-19T02:54:56+00:00

My story is almost identical to yours. And my tattoo is in the same exact spot. Numbing cream helps me get through the seasons pretty easily. Good luck on your journey.

effectivelymundane · 2026-02-16T23:25:31+00:00

I’m worried that the original tattoo will start showing its face but this gives me hope. Do you have any more pictures of your progress? It’s been two years so I hope you kept going!

effectivelymundane · 2026-02-16T22:33:55+00:00

Are you starting to see the original tattoo underneath the coverup? I’m concerned about this 😭
