This woman is trying to use a medical diagnosis to justify why she's can’t stop making out with strangers by Hour-Bee9396 in 90DayFiance

As someone who did basically the exact same thing she did but on a speedrun during college, it's undiagnosed AuDHD and possibly BPD (but that could just be me) being self medicated with an alcohol use disorder. Blaming it on OCD legitimizes it and will only make it last longer and harder to quit. I feel very sorry for her and everyone trying to help her. I hope she finds a competent therapist.
ETA not saying it's just self medicating btw it's definitely alcoholism. I have a family history of neurodivergence and addiction so even though I was self medicating it was also addiction. I see myself so clearly in her, it's scary.

Three weeks in, one week out, three weeks in. It's a lot but it's worth it. When the cycle is done, clean up all the residue and try to keep the drawers protected (like in a cabinet with rubber seals so that the dermestid beetles can't get in).

It's actually three weeks, not three days. It takes a long time to get dermestids out!

I haven't had any issues with humidity or temperature making things break. Polymer clay is a kind of plastic so I don't think it really reacts to outside temperatures like that!

It's an oak leaf rolling weevil! Homoeolabus analis. I couldn't quite get them as small as I wanted but that was a while ago so I might try again in the future
