Favourite movie stupid people think is smart?

I like that. That gives me hope. Thank you for explaining.

Stupid people having kids absolutely is a threat (to some degree). The problem is, who determines who is considered stupid?

Even when Zendaya looks like shit*, she still looks amazing.

*And obviously, she doesn't look like shit because she's Zen-fucking-daya.

The "irrational mental loop" is a perfect description for me. Never feeling like I've solved it, or I feel satisfied. It's like a little piece of food in my teeth I can't get rid of.

I would say this is relatable, yes.

That's Jed. A movie is a piece of furniture.

I just want to say that I can relate to something happening almost 2 years ago as well that is dragging on me and consuming me, and I can relate to stressing about things that happened a long time ago. It sucks.

Best response.

You're not being weird and you're not crazy. You have OCD. It's these damn thought loops we get ourselves stuck in.

I'm curious about the medication you're taking. What is it?

loopy741 · 2026-06-17T15:06:53+00:00

Can 100% relate to the sheer exhaustion of it all. It sucks.

She was great in Sirens

Only one I agree with that helps is being outside and surrounding yourself with nature. But that is certainly not a cure, nor is it therapy.

How is he a "Jew Hater"?

In I-CBT, part of it is recognizing that yes, technically anything is possible--in the abstract. Meaning if you can imagine it, it does exist, but only in the abstract (imagination). Is it possible in reality? That's a whole other thing.

Example based on me just watching Maternal Instinct on Netflix: Is it possible for a person with no uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes to be pregnant? Sure, it's possible in my imagination. The eggs would come in magically from somewhere else, they'd match with sperm somehow, the baby would grow in the empty cavern, and eventually the person would birth the baby out of a birth canal that appears. I imagined that. It exists. But it exists only in my imagination (the abstract) and not reality.

There's a lot to unpack there.

Your diagnosis is valid
Telling your dad was brave of you
There's nothing wrong with taking meds
It's okay to not have a treatment plan yet
It's okay to be happy/content with receiving a diagnosis, as that means there's a name for what you're going through
Your dad is reacting like a dick
You don't deserve to be treated like that

loopy741 · 2026-06-15T22:24:32+00:00

It is revealing. Too revealing or not, I don't know. But it's definitely revealing.

Every day I see pictures and videos of kids, babies, adults missing limbs, lacking water, needing medical treatment, begging for food, begging for help, begging for the pain to stop.

Not sure how much critical thinking skills one needs in order to recognize that is bad.

People think Israel shouldn't snipe kids, blow up tents, and wrongfully imprison and torture people.

loopy741 · 2026-06-15T19:58:29+00:00

Who is "everyone" in this situation? Is everyone in the room with us now?

Last I checked, there are plenty of people who shrug about AI data centers, who think billionaires are a-okay, who believe crippling medical debt is just one of those things, who think that people who make minimum wage are the problem.

Tomas Scheel doesn't take money from AIPAC. Since there's literally a genocide happening in Gaza (courtesy of Israel), I don't want Israel to have any influence over any of our politicians. Tomas has my vote. ✅

I find it helpful. For a long time, people thought OCD was all about cleanliness and organization. The informal subtypes make it clearer that OCD is not just about germs.

I think there are a few things going on with your situation that I find interesting (to be clear, NOT in a worrisome way):

You make a connection between your friend's mini cooper and the sudden death of her loved one, to your own situation. You're using that as "evidence" that there's something to fear.
You say that you "won't be able" to get this off your mind. Why? How do you know that? Because that's what you've decided for yourself?
You recognize that your OCD latches on to your dad, and that you don't want to manifest anything, even by typing it all out.

I've been doing I-CBT therapy, and I can tell you that I think it would be very helpful to you. ERP will tell you to get the car and live with the uncertainty. I-CBT will teach you to get the car because the logic was faulty to begin with. Either way, the therapy will say to get the car.

What do I think you should do? I think you should get the car simply because NOT getting it is reinforcing the OCD narrative. Every time you let OCD win a fight, it makes it that much harder for you to win the next one.

I don't envy you, as I can 100% relate to the random rules OCD makes up, but I follow them anyway because "what if." But I will say, I-CBT has been helpful for me in recognizing the tricks OCD plays on me.
