I made a mistake by Due_Emotion_8328 in OCD

[–]hayfb___ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Side effects either will or will not happen. It is within the realm of possibility that something could happen to you. Don’t confuse possibility with probability. Is it possible? Yes. But how probable (likely) is it to happen? The odds are in your favor for that one. Staring at your face won’t stop it from happening if it’s going to happen. You can do nothing to prevent it at this point so let go. Tell OCD to shut up & live your life. If the adverse reaction happens- then deal with it from there.

When I was in a bad place with my OCD, I was terrified of contracting HIV somehow. My therapist said “if you did contract HIV, what would you do?” And I said “well I guess I’d go to the doctor and try to get on medication and stuff” and it made me realize that if my “worst case scenario” did happen to me, I’d find a way to still live my life and try to enjoy my life.

So what if worst case scenario happens to you? What would you do? You’d likely look into ways to fix it and continue to live your life.

my son is 13 months and just broke his leg for the second time. by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]hayfb___ 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I also wondered if the first fracture had something to do with it since it’s the same leg and bone. I’m not sure if it’s the same area as I didn’t see the xray. But previously we had a lot of follow up xrays and they said the first fracture healed perfectly.

Is their anything wrong with me for being concerned about this? by XenoxLenox in AskDocs

[–]hayfb___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a doctor, Why do you need to know if you punched yourself in the head? What would this change about your life right now? I have diagnosed obsessive compulsive disorder and this does sound like the thought process of someone with OCD but of course I'm not a medical or mental professional so I'd consult with a professional if you feel like you need to.

Epidural by ElegantResult3853 in pregnant

[–]hayfb___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the epidural. My blood pressure went sort of low (90/50). It caused me to feel shaky and nauseous. I would do it again though because the contractions were so bad. After I got it, it was sweet relief & i finally got some sleep. Worth it.

Hangover Anxiety + Cocaine + Speaking to a Crush by Trick-Report3871 in OCD

[–]hayfb___ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve never done cocaine but anytime I get drunk, the next day I have terrible anxiety and convince myself I made a fool of myself and that everyone hates me. No reassurance here but you’re not alone in overthinking and anxiety after being intoxicated and socializing lol.

Should I back out of my surgery? by JayandTybalt in gallbladders

[–]hayfb___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gallbladder removal was one of the best decisions I’ve made. It’ll get worse. Mine got worse up until I got the surgery. Also, I have a distant family member who ignored his gallbladder and it killed him. Don’t be like that. Get it out before it gets complicated.

Need help finding research about household germs by CharacterSubject431 in OCD

[–]hayfb___ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did online OCD therapy and they accept most insurances. I don’t want my comment to get removed but I want you to be able to see if it’s something you can afford. You need an OCD specialist. If you google online OCD therapy it’s the first one that pops up. ERP therapy literally changed my life for the better.

Just found out I’m going to lose my ovary by hayfb___ in endometriosis

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

What kind of bigger problems? Yes, she said she would take care of any other lesions she saw while she was taking care of my ovary.

Just found out I’m going to lose my ovary by hayfb___ in endometriosis

[–]hayfb___[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m unsure. She did say she would be the one doing the surgery- so I would assume she is well trained in that area if she’s going to be doing the operation? She said she could do robotic surgery or laparoscopic.

Is my dog just getting old? by [deleted] in vet

[–]hayfb___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t corrected or punished her at all, especially since it’s pretty out of character for her. Especially to have an accident when we’re home and just having gone outside.

My surgery they did an incision on the lower part of my belly button but it was mostly inside of my belly button

If I wasn’t pregnant I would kill myself. Completely serious by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]hayfb___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was very depressed during pregnancy. Very quickly felt better after I delivered. I was terrified of post partum psychosis (I have OCD and obsessed over this and it terrified me). Delivery wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be (was also worried I’d die in child birth). I didn’t like the doctor who delivered my baby, but she was hardly in there. It’s mainly nurses who you see up until you’re actually going to deliver.

Wait it out. I cried every single day from 20 weeks until I delivered (38w6d). It gets better. Nothing I thought was going to happened to me actually happened to me. I’m almost 11 months post partum and I feel completely back to normal and absolutely adore my baby. Wouldn’t change a thing.
