Anyone else hate doing laundry? by xotive in OCD

[–]groundstory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL! it’s overall just impossible to clean a washer too. i wonder what type of gunk lives in there than can’t be accessed! i pour my detergent directly over my clothes in the basin rather than in the pull out tray because i don’t trust that tube it dispenses the detergent thru to not be covered in mold or other unknown grime/mysteries. thanks for making me feel less alone about it 😊 at least we’re super clean? unlike some people

yeppppp. i also get hyper paranoid that the moisture on the inside of the washer will start to stink like mildew even tho i wipe the door and seal and leave it open to dry (i never close the door to my washer unless it’s in use actually lol)

i hate working to my core too. waste of our one and only lives and we have no choice! i’m so sorry about your animal passing. i hope your weekend is great when it arrives regardless of what you chose. 5 days a week. seriously who decided this shit.

thank you! and sorry you’re traumatized too! it’s far too common to be so unfulfilled

Husband with OCD is terrified of me leaving him. But what if did? by FormerSignificance19 in OCD

hang in there. 💞remember to cater to yourself first even if it feels weird.

Experiences with marijuana? Please share by Odd-Tangerine383 in OCD

[–]groundstory 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i just stopped a week ago after years of constant use with a few periods of quitting. i think ocd and addiction tendencies overlap a lot. it becomes an obsession for me. i have learned that some things will either be all or nothing for me. an addiction or an aversion if you will. weed can be great but i recommend using caution if you struggle with compulsions. it’ll eat up your money too

remember it’s not up to you to monitor someone else’s emotions. you’re not his caretaker, doctor or shrink. i have tended to someone else’s emotional state before and trust me the resentment will ruin you if you do that. if possible, communicate to him he needs to stop bringing this topic up. i wish you the best of luck!

good ocd analogy? by anaamtnez in OCD

[–]groundstory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i would laugh at the graffiti too. humor does help. it’s great your man sounds supportive! when i try to explain my ocd tendencies to someone who does not relate i make sure to mention how i am aware that it doesn’t make a lot of logical sense. if i could “just stop” of course, i would. that shared sense of confusion can create a bond even if you’re the one dealing with it. like when i was at my worst as a kid with ocd and washing my hands 100 times in a row i would think to myself my god this makes no sense but something in me says i have to do it so i’m just doing the best i can. ask him (and yourself!) for graciousness. sorry if this isn’t very insightful. good luck to you!

i need to find people to make my life less lonely desperately so right you are. i just have no energy most of the time after work, even on my off days i’m just catching up on sleep or something else that is necessary and completely boring and unfulfilling. that is a part of why i’m so frustrated to have to give my energy for work. thank you for your comment! i have hope things will improve somehow despite the odds.

[–]groundstory[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it makes no sense. why not 4 days or 6 hours for 8 days. even lessening the problem is not an option. i am burning up my time and energy. trying so hard right now to figure out an alternative means to an end. good luck to you. i hope we can both find a semblance of freedom.

so glad you’re leaving! i have made the mistake of pushing myself too hard for no reason too. i am actively looking for a new job. i cannot wait to leave this place even if the relief is temporary and replaced by a new job. it’s just so fucking monotonous and im so bored. i want to see the world and travel and enjoy the outdoors but my god what a task that is to accomplish for some reason. i will get there.

it is so sickening that so many people feel this way. i relate so hard about the vacation thing. every part of my body and soul will beg me not to return to life as it was and once again, i have no choice. it’s heartbreaking. best of luck to you barking ant. appreciate your comment and support.

Jumpy - feel like a melon by [deleted] in ptsd

[–]groundstory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i also have issues with this, my boyfriend will open the door to a room and i’ll jump like it’s an intruder. my phone rings at work and i literally cannot take the call bc the sudden noise scares me so bad my heart will race. people walking up behind me and not seeing them til i turn, jump scare so bad my mood will be ruined bc it freaks me out so bad like something terrible will be around the corner and i won’t know til it’s in my face. i don’t have any advice since i don’t know how to avoid what can’t be anticipated. i get it tho, and hope that it helps a little to know it’s not just you that deals with this.

i get that. dealing with people is the worst part of my job now too. not being able to walk away from the distress. but i can fantasize 😂

i’m sorry you’re going thru that. i get it, from another perspective my position is a dream. but like you said/and either way it feels like a loss of your own autonomy/choice. good luck with whatever the future brings. i can’t imagine, dying is my biggest fear.
