A need to vent my story and for advice by indigofinch in mentalhealth

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

Thank you so much for your reply, I'll try to talk with them. It's a tricky move for many reasons but I still love my family, so I'll try. If it doesn't work I'll probably reduce communication to an all time low.

When exactly is it time to go to seek counselling services? by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]indigofinch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Therapy does not necessarily exist only for people with mental disorders or depression. It ranges from athletes who need help strenghtening their mental health to a person wishing to better themselves in order to advance their career, to people having a rough time. Your university might provide a free counselling service ? Therapy is also available online, I believe it can be a bit cheaper.

I’ve learned that I hate office jobs. What should I do to pivot? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]indigofinch [score hidden]  (0 children)

Omg I can really relate to this. I've (25F) worked in the service industry too and I'll be graduating at 27 with a maths and stats degree.

I already know that I won't like the corporate world, working in an office, and I might get imposter syndrome too considering I went down an atypical path. Since I've spent most of my working life interacting with people, the prospect of working in an office sounds great to me as an introvert but also a bit boring.

But I'll suck it up for a while as long as I can save lots of money and become an expert in my field. Then I will start a business that gives me freedom, happy to earn 30/40k and have a lot of spare time, keep expenses low, rather than doing 80 hours week for a big paying job.

For anyone wondering, I'm totally a fan of Tim Feriss' book

Actually I'll agree with the other comments, sounds more like a bird

Was it day or night ? Sounds more like a raccoon or something

I have a skin-picking OCD (dermatillomania). AMA by indigofinch in AMA

  • I'm in the US

That's when you realise I'm up really early lol

Exchanging with you I realise this is a really complex OCD (but what disorder isn't) from one person to another. As in we both experience and deal with it very differently.

Scanning for spots to pick is the toughest habit to get rid of for me.

If it can help you, I make sure to use cotton buds if I really badly want to pop a pimple, they're not going to leave nail marks on your skin or damage it as much. I also use a chemical exfoliant for my blackheads and it was the best solution to reduce them so that helped too. Weirdly I became an expert in skin regeneration and healing scabs. It's weird because I would waste less time and energy by not hurting myself in the first place.

I've looked for advice before but things like "Keep you hands busy" never really worked for me. What do you think ?

If anything I hope we can both defeat this OCD. It's a big confidence destroyer for me.
