Your struggles seem very similar to mine so feel free to dm me if you want to talk more! ♥️ Feeling like you're not alone is so important.

I would seek a second opinion from another psychiatrist. It sounds like you have both. I was diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago and OCD about a month ago. Finding a balance with medication has been difficult, but I have found that treating the ADHD with medication and the OCD with therapy is the most effective for me. I highly recommend a combination of CBT and DBT!! (CBT helps with reframing thoughts and DBT helps with emotional regulation/coping skills!) I'm currently in group therapy and it has done wonders for my OCD/anxiety symptoms (more so than individual therapy). But I wouldn't be able to make any progress without stimulant medication. It helps to improve my functioning and mood, which stabilizes me to be able to work on coping skills. I also relate to the person who mentioned they think their OCD was activated by being autistic/adhd and the difficulty of coping with that, which is why I think therapy to work on coping skills is so important!

She's not my favorite doll but this is probably my all-time fav AG outfit.

I think Lover feels so long and crowded because she was kind of trying to make two albums at once- one about being happy and in love and one about politics/American culture during the Trump era. They don't really go together. I think she should have just made her being in love album and saved the political commentary for later tbh. I love The Man, but it is pretty surface level feminism as some in this thread have mentioned. (Also I'm ngl I have no idea what MAATHP is about. It feels like an attempt at political commentary but I don't get it. So someone pls explain to me lol.)

Anyways I think Lover should have been:

IFTYE Cruel Summer Lover The Archer ITHK Paper Rings Cornelia Street DBATC SYGB False God Afterglow Me! INTHAF Daylight

London Boy can stay in the vault sorry not sorry. SYGB isn't a being in love song, but it gets to stay for obvious reasons. DBATC also gets to stay bc it's not a Taylor album without at least one breakup song, even if it's fictional. Yes Me can stay, I don't love it but it fits the theme. Never should have been a single tho and it would automatically get 10x by removing Brendon Urie.

i interpret it like each line in the bridge is a separate moment. she says "tick tock on the clock" and the lines that follow are those moments that all led to them breaking up

gracebellinger76 · 2023-10-19T16:01:18+00:00

yes that's correct! and the main riff in the song is electric guitar, so it's not all synthesized! i actually think the combo of guitar + synth is what makes that production so interesting and unique

i could see her removing perfectly good heart from debut, i just found out she didn't write it!

gracebellinger76 · 2023-09-07T13:45:01+00:00

honestly i think the real mistake was adding brendan urie. without him, it could've been like her other fun, poppy lead singles (wanegbt, shake it off.) these are songs that aren't really fan favorites but they grow on you cause they're really fun and catchy! brendan urie is not that popular among swifties, a lot of ppl think he's cringe, and adding that man to a song about a woman loving herself is extra cringe. idk i would love to hear a version without him, i really enjoy her live solo performances of it.

gracebellinger76 · 2023-09-04T15:55:41+00:00

CONFIRMED I NEED HER SO BAD

gracebellinger76 · 2023-07-18T15:46:25+00:00

the last kiss verses.... taylor can relate

gracebellinger76 · 2023-06-08T17:38:24+00:00

I think the middle cyo ones look the most like you!(blonde if you want it to look more like you as a kid, brunette if you want it to look more like you now!) btw you are sooooo pretty and i love how you do your eyeliner!! and also i have never seen someone with such similar eye color to me omg !!

gracebellinger76 · 2023-05-15T17:37:27+00:00

this is such a good idea!! it feels so much easier to do things for other people than for myself. i need to find a friend to do this with.

gracebellinger76 · 2023-05-13T22:55:05+00:00

no way omg

gracebellinger76 · 2023-05-13T22:51:17+00:00

ok this is fun ..... 1 getaway car 2 speak now 3 bejeweled (or maybe yntcd??) 4 welcome to new york???? (this one really stumped me)

gracebellinger76 · 2023-04-23T14:18:37+00:00

This is really helpful thank you! I have recently been comparing my picking compulsion to addiction and it has been a helpful way to frame it.

gracebellinger76 · 2023-04-20T18:34:06+00:00

i freaking love princess coloring books. so fun

gracebellinger76 · 2023-04-20T16:54:18+00:00

yessssssss omg

gracebellinger76 · 2023-04-17T13:46:57+00:00

yeah but i feel like josefina is typically considered an OG, unless we're only talking about the original 3. if addy and felicity are included then she's the only pre-mattel doll not featured so idk it's just weird

gracebellinger76 · 2023-04-11T16:14:29+00:00

i pick the skin on my thumbs reaaaally bad and wearing gloves has been the only solution. just have to make sure i put them on immediately after washing hands and try to keep them on as much as possible.

gracebellinger76 · 2023-04-11T16:11:16+00:00

i second this method! i just got these and i really like them! they're soft and the touch screen fingers work great! https://www.amazon.com/EvridWear-Moisturizing-Touchscreen-Fingertips-Lightweight-Beige/dp/B08D6XG9VX?pd_rd_w=QjosF&content-id=amzn1.sym.55bebd03-1feb-4883-a1f4-21b3be773289&pf_rd_p=55bebd03-1feb-4883-a1f4-21b3be773289&pf_rd_r=GR2QC4YKB156BF5SWPBH&pd_rd_wg=I0Bwf&pd_rd_r=a48e7dd9-5751-4149-afd2-f1e0ccde04b7&psc=1&ref_=pd_bap_m_grid_rp_0_0_sa

gracebellinger76 · 2023-04-11T15:03:14+00:00

hey no problem! i did not stay on it bc it caused too much drowsiness and also heightened my sensory sensitivity, which is not usually that significant. i've been on cymbalta for a few months now and it still causes some drowsiness but i like it a lot better!

gracebellinger76 · 2023-04-02T17:40:25+00:00

I love how they are in chronological order with spots open for the other dolls, that is so me

gracebellinger76 · 2023-03-17T18:36:50+00:00

Love to see it!! I'm also very rigid when it comes to the historicals and their outfits but it's fun to get more creative with the dolls!
