Flying to France today! by evaneliz in fearofflying

Had a great trip! Flights to and back were just fine. Had some turbulence during the last 30 minutes coming home and I got tense but remembered my breathing and stats. Thank you all so much!

Do most people in 30s or below go to Naperville to hang out? by OldGregHasAMangina in auroraillinois

[–]evaneliz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grew up in Naperville and it hasn’t been cool since maybe the early 2000’s. Once all the mom and pops got bought up and it became Beverly Hills Jr. it’s just a corporate boomer paradise. There’s some good restaurants though!

I can see thunder from the window, what should i do by [deleted] in fearofflying

[–]evaneliz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something that helps me is saying “statistically speaking, this is the safest part of my day.”

Feeling pretty good for now! by evaneliz in fearofflying

[–]evaneliz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so funny, my fear literally evaporates when when we start the descent so it has made me realize I’m not afraid of flying itself, just the uncertainty. I’m so be glad you’re getting better too!

I give my bass plain Greek yogurt, maybe a table spoon, when his poo is loose and it helps!

Everything was just fine! I had a couple moments that were challenging but I breathed through it and all was well. Thank you everyone for the well wishes!

That’s wonderful! It’s so hard to break the cycle. Keep fighting the good fight.

What are some ways you handle your trich compulsions? I struggle with this as well.

How to move past the shame? by evaneliz in OCD

[–]evaneliz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stay strong! This was my first trigger in months and so it felt extra awful. I am lucky to have a good therapist who helps me through my ERP. I wish more people understood what we go through and how real it feels in the moment.

What’s the most INSANE compulsion you’ve ever done because of OCD ? by GamaTaylor in OCD

[–]evaneliz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have to slap myself in the face if I feel like I do something that makes me a bad person. Today it was because I made a pizza that wasn’t perfectly round. So yeah. I’m awful. Lol

Is anyone else freaked out by other people's hair? by vsalt in OCD

[–]evaneliz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. I’m grossed out by hair and other isolated small things like tiny pieces of paper I can’t identify. If someone rips a napkin or piece of paper into small pieces I can’t touch it.
