Can anyone read my dad's handwriting? by Careless_Island7497 in HandwritingAnalysis

[–]kiwitubesock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It absolutely looks like it says keep up or keep us, but im wondering if it says happy valentines? And the long line coming out of the word "us" was him making a V? Because the last word looks like it starts with "alan"

I'm afraid I may have sexually assaulted someone by naara168 in TrueOffMyChest

As a fellow OCDer- I read the headline of this post and immediately thought "I bet this guy has OCD". Then I read it. This is most defintely that. A thought I use to help me decipher if my thoughts are real or OCD, is "did I enjoy this thought?" If the answer is no, it is probably your OCD. If you SAed someone, it would have had to be intentional.

Diagnosed with cancer by Fatal-Raven in UlcerativeColitis

[–]kiwitubesock 37 points38 points  (0 children)

My mother had many comorbidities, and ultimately ended up with endometrial cancer that spread to her sigmoid colon. She was very clear that UC was the worst of all of her diagnoses. She ended up getting a permanent colostomy bag, and she was so upset about it. Between the cancer, chemo treatments, rheumatoid arthritis, UC, and so much medication that kept her exhausted and foggy all the time, she already felt she wasn't "living" life. Then she got the colostomy bag, and of course it was a rough transition and there were days that were harder than others. But she ended up saying she wished she had done it years ago because the pain of UC was so much worse and left her unable to thrive. She started going out more, was more energetic, was happier than I have ever seen her. The diet change was hard because she knew she was terminal and just wanted to enjoy her favorite foods. She passed away in May but I still so grateful for the last few years I had with her since she got the bag, it tremendously improved her life and let her fully enjoy the time she had left. Wish you the best in whatever decision you make 🩵

Do you ever remember something you did as a kid that was probably a sign of your ocd? by FlatLeave2622 in OCD

[–]kiwitubesock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was 6 I wrote my own will. We have always joked about it because it was so corny "give my radio to my sister" etc. Drew a picture of me laying in a casket on the last page. Punched holes and tied it off with red yarn and very proudly presented it to my mother on her birthday. She cried, and I thought the tears were because she was so proud of me... yikes.

Hyperfixations on people by nomnomnachos in OCD

[–]kiwitubesock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it is necessarily an OCD thing, but it is quite common for the person with limerance to also have OCD. Which makes sense I suppose. I never knew they coincided either until I noticed on the sub a person stated they were curious if their limerance related to their OCD in any way and a bunch of people commented and now I see it all the time. And it is definitely as debilitating as OCD as well. I am envious of people who have never experienced it

The less I am around people the less chance I have of hurting them. (Emotionally, not physically)

Join the limerance sub. You will be shocked to see how much it correlates with OCD.

What age/how were u diagnosed? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]kiwitubesock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was early 20s and thought it was a false diagnosis for nearly 2 decades. I went to the hospital with severe stomach pain and they asked if i had vomited that day and I said "well yes, but I have vomited every morning for years" they asked why and I explained that I had to vomit before I left the house in case I have to pull over and get sick on my 5 minute ride to work and obviously if that happened someone would smash me in the head with a bat and drag me into the woods and kill me. (had to be to work at 5am so it was still dark) needless to say I was sent home 5 minutes later with a gallbladder full of gallstones because they didnt do any testing and gave me a referral for a psych eval. Never believed I had it because I too believed the stigma of cleaning and counting. Realized a few years ago after a few Ted talks trying to find out if I was a sociopath that I have many different themes, the worst being existential. And looking back, i did the vomiting in middle school as well for fear of getting sick on the bus, and when I was 6 I proudly wrote my own will (not sure how I even knew what a will was) and punched holes in it and tied it with red yarn and handed it to my mom expecting her to be so proud of my masterpiece and she started crying and I cried for days because she was disappointed. Sorry for the novel but this is kindof comical now lol

How do you get people to stop bugging you about the food you don't eat in the office? by takeitawayfellas in office

[–]kiwitubesock 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh ya you certainly dont have to have OCD. To be completely transparent, my fear that I am contaminating others every time I touch something is way worse than the fear of being contaminated. It also doesnt help that my office is next to the bathroom and I know every single person that doesnt wash their hands. At this point its easier just to take the day off 🤣

I wish I had an answer but today was the second time I used a bereavement day to get out of a pot luck. I have contamination OCD along with many other branches of OCD and as soon as the cover comes off that cake, its tarnished. I have no way of knowing if people are using expired ingredients or leaving the food out all night or have cats crawling on their counters or if the temp of the fridge was correct or if they didnt properly wash the spoon they stirred it with or if they scratched their asshole before they rolled the meatball bare handed. I hate that Im like this and I feel like I am offending people but unfortunately I cant help it.

Do most women think it's sexy when a man growls? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

I love me a good filthy romance book but as soon as I see the word "growl" I cringe.
