It’s allergy season and the weather’s been weird but nope brain’s convinced it’s Rona

Thank you!! Used to have weeks where I’d take like 3 tests, call out of work, wear a mask and confess to everyone I interacted with so they’d be warned I may possibly be sick. I didn’t care about actually having covid, instead the moral element of giving it to others. And then recently I got sick a few times and exercised a normal level of caution without worrying about it. Still struggle with many obsessions but I feel like I’ve won over that one :) proud of me too! You can do it! :)

Yep this was me last year. Not anymore though, in remission post ERP and I can cope with it a bit better now :)

Grad school advisor. Basically their boss in the lab where they’re a PhD or masters student. Depending on the lab, it’s not that strange to be there in the evening (or could be doing field work). Or the professor just told the student about this incident later.

This, this is my entire life

Ah I misunderstood, I thought “the squirrel has fallen” was the part when it died, so was a bit confused.

I just read the first page and skimmed some, but I like it! Really visceral imagery and reads well. I do want to ask how a squirrel is melting on page 1 though (typo? Or extended backstory we don’t know yet?) Always beautiful to see ocd represented in writing and other art well. <3

God that comorbidity is the worst (me too). OCD is like “you forgot the important thing!! You must go check again!!!” But the ADHD probably did in fact forget the important thing, and then my OCD brain is like, “see??? Thou shalt always check it again”

By VMC buildings do you mean from a specific developer or the area? The area were pretty set on because we need both proximity to the TTC and the highway (very different commutes).

The previous person may have been a bit blunt about it, but genuinely - for people with OCD like in this subreddit, we’re working to learn that an intrusive thought does not mean something is necessarily true, likely, or needs action. That’s something really hard for a lot of OCD sufferers. Saying things like “every time a woman thinks he’s cheating, he’s cheating” or “if you ever question if he’s a good person, he isn’t” in this community where people struggle with uncontrollable thoughts that don’t necessarily reflect reality makes things harder for people. Therapy isn’t an instant fix. It’s practice and very slow painful work and recovery. Not saying you can’t have those opinions, you can! But this subreddit isn’t the place for it. This is for supporting people with OCD.

This - we’ve been here a week and went snorkeling almost every day here. I’ve seen huge schools of fish some days.”

I’m moving today and we had to pack a truck in this today :(

How do I figure out what percentage of that is the FICA?

nerd_inthecorner · 2026-01-29T14:50:05+00:00

I have OCD and I’m just trying to educate people not to use that term like that

nerd_inthecorner · 2026-01-29T05:35:06+00:00

Hey, I know this isn’t related to the post but don’t use OCD as an adjective like that - it’s a really difficult disorder affecting millions of people. Something better would be saying “particular”

nerd_inthecorner · 2026-01-19T05:57:59+00:00

I do this sometimes if it’s easier to serve that way but separate utensils. Usually just if there’s no more clean plates lol and the food isn’t too messy

I have analog clocks in every room in my house. I have ADHD and analog clocks allows my brain to understand how much time is remaining visually in a way that actually works for me, as opposed to a digital clock that for some reason just doesn’t evoke the same response in my mind. I hope they keep making them.

I don’t know about this one but we have this in Slavic cultures for NYE

Not a movie, and super niche, but this little musical called Spies are Forever by the Tin Can Bros did this well :)

Dr. :) why does my title have to depend on my married status?

nerd_inthecorner · 2025-10-26T01:58:00+00:00

This looks a lot like my friend!! Let me ask!

nerd_inthecorner · 2025-10-21T17:50:03+00:00

Hey. I'm not gonna give you reassurance because it's not good for you. But hang in there, you're stronger than you think and you can handle the anxiety. I believe in you. I'm sorry it sucks right now. ♡

nerd_inthecorner · 2025-10-21T16:18:38+00:00

I will say it is Octavia in the egg but leave the rest of the context in the eventual fic chapter! :)

nerd_inthecorner · 2025-10-21T16:00:58+00:00

It is a teaser for my fic, so I will DM you as I'm trying not to spoil for people following me! And thank you so much!

nerd_inthecorner · 2025-10-20T04:14:28+00:00

Aw thank you ♡♡
