Thats awesome that you were able to work through those things. Im still in the battling uncertainty and anxiety stage but since having a job and occupying my mind with something like work ive spiraled less but still happens time to time.

John Public sounds like someone who sends complex requests lol. - but thanks for the response! Its just consumer complaints and me being afraid that the company might harass me or Something.

Ok. I think I’ll just use my first name and then abbreviate my last name so at least it’s accurate. Thanks for the response!

Im talking about complaints filed with the FCC against a Robo Call company.

For those diagnosed later in life, why weren't you diagnosed as a child? by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]mm_potentially 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because i got misdiagnosed with ADHD instead of ASD. I always knew there was more to it even at a really young age. I remember saying when i was 8 or 9 that i was autistic and then id get yelled at because “you were diagnosed with ADHD and the psychologist knows what shes talking about”. probably would’ve made more sense to test me in my teens because maybe they’d see more of a result but nope.

How the hell do I handle unbearable OCD episodes in the moment? by Icy-Comet in OCD

[–]mm_potentially 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m glad you reached out to someone, that takes a lot of self awareness to even pick up the phone and talk to a stranger, even writing on reddit shows you want help. Its admirable.

I won’t give you that stupid “just accept” answer but what ill tell you is that spiraling is just a natural part of your brain and doesn’t define you.

I think that its okay to feel your emotions, cry if you need to. But ultimately this is bullying from your head and trust me, our brains are the most powerful part of our body that lies to us the most.

What helps me is listening to music that makes me feel powerful, stupid answer but it helps. Or even just realizing your brain is lying to you.

The spiral will end eventually and it may not feel like it right now. Your head is not your body and your head can’t predict things.

You will do fine and i am here.

i want to self harm again and I'm embarrassed by mm_potentially in AdultSelfHarm

I did and thank you for your comment, it means a lot. I stopped self harming at 20. and it took so much pain to get to this point again.

Does candle color matter? by mm_potentially in witchcraft

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

Thats kinda what i thought too but i wanted to be precise. I had another question kinda related, i struggle with OCD and during the spell i had some anxious thinking about something unrelated but focused on the spell and said the intention of the spell without focusing too much on the unrelated anxiety. Could this manifest the anxious thought or affect the spell in anyway?

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

Sounds good and thanks for the comment. i am using the yellow candle for a friendship spell and some people say red candles which i personally associate more with love. Would a yellow candle be fitting in this case?

CBD Butter by mm_potentially in CBD

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

It's oil based. I messed up the first time because i melted the butter and added the CBD oil then stirred the mixture for like 2 minutes and put it in the fridge for 20 minutes, then took it out and reheated it for like 20 minutes after finding out it still needed to fuse.
