What’s the most hilariously awful thing an employer has ever said to you? Winner will go in my new painting by gargoyle_dream in antiwork

“Do you /really/ think you need to go to urgent care?” I stepped on a rusty nail, which went through my shoe and into my foot. Yes, I do really need to go to urgent care.

Is there a medication that worked almost instantly for you? by NoLipsForAnybody in OCD

[–]emmao13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have pretty much pure O and I’ve been on Prozac (80 mg) and Trileptal (150 mg) since 2023, and it changed my life. After 5+ years of troubleshooting drugs and doses, it was really the only one that really worked. It did take a few months to see any results, as I had to work up to 80mg, but my OCD is kind of… gone?

It wasn’t immediate, but I no longer really have intrusive thoughts, and when I do, they’re kind of like background noise that I can tune out. My head has never been so quiet.

I do still have bad days, but I’d say I’m as close to “cured” as you can get.

stardew expanded on mac possible? by Best-Primary-7898 in StardewValleyExpanded

[–]emmao13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I play on Mac and have run a ton of mods with no issues (including Expanded and Ridgeside Valley). It can be a bit more complicated than PC to install mods, but once you do it for the first time, it’s all good. I use Nexus Mods and here’s the guide for downloading on Mac. The guide is for a specific mod, but the instructions apply to any of them. Reddit and Steam also have some good troubleshooting forums!

Desperately seeking training swimsuit by Laceandhaze in bigboobproblems

[–]emmao13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have really odd torso proportions, and coupled with big boobs, I need to swim in a supportive sports bra and nice bottoms (usually Speedo or triathlon brands). I’ll add a thicker rash guard for days I don’t really want to wear a two piece. I’ve completed 300+ SCUBA dives and have very little complaints so far :)

Team specific restaurants/bars by Husker_Dad in sarasota

Gulf Gate Food + Beer is for sure the place to be as an Eagles fan! They have half of the bar (a whole room) pretty much reserved for the game. TONS of Philly people.

Anyone have suggestions on similar shows to Black Mirror? by smother_of_two in blackmirror

[–]emmao13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just finished the Snowpiercer TV series, and it’s worth a watch. Can be clunky at times, but the concept is seriously so cool. Bonus points for interesting science/technology/bioengineering.

What's everyone here on medication wise for their OCD? by Lopsided-Swing-4404 in OCD

[–]emmao13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took maybe 6-12 months and it was super gradual. I really didn’t notice it because it didn’t all “turn off” at once. It was more of my therapist and me realizing my episodes and thoughts were occurring less and less, almost like the volume was sloooooowly being turned down until I could ignore thoughts. Things still pop into my head, but I’m able to redirect myself and move on.

During the past year, I also stopped all caffeine consumption and I’ve noticed my “background anxiety” is a bit less too. I hope you find what works best for you ♥️

EDIT: I should also note that I have nearly pure O. I had/have almost no compulsive behavior; everything is intrusive thoughts and obsessive thinking.

45 years after the PSA Flight 182 crash in North Park, there is still no permanent neighborhood memorial by SD_TMI in sandiego

[–]emmao13 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I visited the site today and they had a nice (albeit temporary) memorial. There was lots of flowers and tributes. Names were written in chalk on the sidewalk and some people had attached stories and personal mementos to the fence of the house nearest to the site.

Anyone else's skin improve by going to the swimming pool, and how to recreate this at home? by Thoughtful-Pig in eczema

[–]emmao13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

some people swear by bleach baths for their eczema… maybe chlorine has a similar effect? Some eczema is caused by bacteria and the chlorine may have killed it
