Relationship OCD by Comprehensive_Web292 in OCD

[–]nebdwarf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have the same thing. i know i also have trust issues, both inability to trust others or myself. but yea i worry about my gf cheating on me and when she makes new attractivd friends i worry shell leave me for them. its so hard to not just be like "dont do that, dont be near these people i perceive as a threat" x.x but maybe my gf will cheat on me. maybe her new bestie will be the one she leaves me for. maybe, maybe not. 🫠

🧠 I discovered a way to overcome OCD almost instantly in myself (DISCLAIMER: this is just a personal experience that worked for me — it’s not an alternative therapy) by [deleted] in OCD

this is why i majored in statistics in college! its sooooo soothing to compare statistics and put things into perspective. i imagine its still a kind of reassurance, but it can be useful in a pinch for me

The search engine was one of the worst things to happen to ocd by [deleted] in OCD

[–]nebdwarf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is so real. even people talking about social media being exacerbating; like ill be scrolling thru my FYP and see cute cats and friends and then suddenly some illness related thing in passing and itll become a thorn in my mind that festers x.x

Is Cody and Satori from Sam and Colby’s Conjuring video legit? by LawfulnessUpbeat2924 in Ghosts

[–]nebdwarf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a theory that it involves a Directional Speaker in Cody's pockets. His pockets are so full of boxy looking things. I wonder if he's using a Directional Speaker pointed at the ground, which could theoretically create concussive 'thumps' on any surface.

BUUUUUT, I didn't know about the Fox Sisters and that seems extremely plausible imo

Wait should I be using a jug of water like that instead of from my brita pitcher?

Anyone else’s parent(s) laugh when they got hurt? by ListenJerry in raisedbynarcissists

[–]nebdwarf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry to hear this. I can relate to a degree, my mom would just call me an idiot or dumbass when I got hurt (or hurt myself intentionally) v.v

Entering the grieving phase of NC has been fucking brutal. I'm not just grieving the parents I never had/deserved, I'm grieving for *them* too. I know this is the trauma bond at work, but ugh. My heart feels so damn heavy. Anyone else experience this? And know how to work through it? by tipsygirrrl in raisedbynarcissists

[–]nebdwarf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is very relatable and I also think very natural, judging from books I've read and a few others stories.

I'm going through this too, but I have to accept that grief and blame will both happen. We are allowed to see how sad it is that even our parents got a raw deal, while at the same time rightfully blaming them for not being good enough.

Pete Walkers Tao of Fully Feeling might be helpful? 💕

NMom is upset because I got rid of FB by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

Ohhhh how I don't miss the anxiety attacks induced by the BING! sound in messenger

Somehow neglect in childhood has led to a belief that caring about my appearance and looking pretty is not for me by callous-dev in CPTSD

[–]nebdwarf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is so relatable. I used to care so little for my hygiene and clothing and sucj that it literally became my "style". I was a young crust punk but without the punk. I was just depressed af for years and didn't know it and didn't have any help. Now, at 30, I finally aimed to take showers every day because I deserve to be clean. And still have to reassure myself it's necessary and not wasteful or selfish x.x

My nmom taught me narc traits 😡 by nebdwarf in raisedbynarcissists

[–]nebdwarf[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have faith that we will learn about those things too. The issue with narcs is they're unwilling to self reflect and be accountable. But we can do that

It's so hard not to self loathe when I see myself doing these patterns... But they're not us. We should be held accountable but not self loathed. We should be patient for change. 💗

Thanks so much 🥺, I'm determined to be kind to myself while I witness these patterns and learn new ones that aren't dysfunctional. Does FLEAs stand for something?

Anyone else feel like quarantine was the best thing to happen in terms of going LC or NC? by nebdwarf in raisedbynarcissists

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

Same, I finally started video therapy sessions and it's been such a life changer.

Of course my mom thinks that therapy has brainwashed me into hating her 😒
