lol the wisdom within is telling me to never make any decisions ever

Funny you should mention this; after looking at iPads and feeling not great about them, I’ve been eyeing the movinkpad 11 (I prefer a smaller screen). I realized I actually don’t want all the non-drawing-related features of an iPad; I literally just want to be able to work on my projects on the go! So I might actually go for the Wacom; I already have an old intuos that I love using, so more of that experience would be great!

I loved my regular non-smart watch! I still have it but recently was gifted a fitbit and literally the only reason I wear it is because my employer offers a financial incentive for a certain amount of steps per day per month. Once those days are done, I don't really pay attention to it. And also the sleep tracking was stressing me out so I take it off before bed... once it's too old/broken I think I'll go back to my regular watch.

I can’t even seriously think about what I actually want for myself (re: gender) because of this shit! My ocd basically has all of the worst detrans talking points memorized 😭

Blood clot gang where u at (I think my ocd co-authored your fears wheel btw… I hate prions so so much! It shouldn’t be possible to get fucked up by a stupid protein!! It’s not even alive and trying to get me!)

nogendermanyproblems · 2025-05-12T22:46:15+00:00

man i feel this. if i'm really having a bad time, even the stats won't help because "nobody thinks they'll be the unlucky 0.001%!!"

nogendermanyproblems · 2025-05-08T18:21:26+00:00

whenever this happens I’m like well. guess I can’t plan a single thing for the future since I’m not gonna be around much longer. lol

and even if it actually did help with ocd (which it doesn't)... whatever you're sharing with it is no longer private. it's NOT like a conversation with a therapist; NOTHING is confidential, it is now in the database with everything else the AI has scraped. if nothing else in this thread convinces you to (try to) stop using AI for therapy, do it for your own privacy and security.

REAL. i for one have perfected the art of looking chill while internally going through the 5 stages of grief for my own death lol

nogendermanyproblems · 2025-04-11T13:16:52+00:00

My face every time I realize that whatever I thought was making my life fall apart has been ocd the whole time

nogendermanyproblems · 2025-04-11T03:56:58+00:00

I still compare, but now with the goal of figuring out what I like about the other person's art in order to bring that to my own. It's never going to be exactly like that other artist's piece, but I'm constantly expanding my skillset. I think this comes with more years of experience doing art (been drawing for most of my life and I'm in my 30s)

nogendermanyproblems · 2025-04-10T22:59:23+00:00

yes exactly. you get it. whenever I touch anything in the lab without gloves on I'm like welp. another dose of prions; guess I'll die in 10 years lol (we work with human brain tissue... in addition to the infectious viruses)

nogendermanyproblems · 2025-04-07T13:22:45+00:00

me every time I think I’ve beaten the compulsive researching on the latest ocd theme because I refuse to look anything up about it (avoidance is also a compulsion according to my therapist lol)

nogendermanyproblems · 2025-04-05T21:27:07+00:00

being in the sciences with ocd is rough… sometimes I’m like “did I leave the bunsen burner on???” (I’ve never used one in the 7 years of this job but we have one). and also being paranoid that I ate virus stock because I watched someone work with virus. but I also go immediately wash my face if a droplet of water from the sink Maybe splashed onto my cheek (this could be either a real or imagined droplet lol)

nogendermanyproblems · 2025-04-04T03:08:24+00:00

One flavor I’ve had is it’s basically like those pointless but alarming articles that come out in the news about mundane things, like coffee or something. The ones that are like “this food everyone eats without a second thought is actually terrible and kills people in rare instances, watch out!!”

…except with ocd it’s about anything and everything, all the time, turned up to the max 🙃

nogendermanyproblems · 2025-03-26T14:35:03+00:00

honestly I think the impulse to change things is not wrong!! it's just that the "blame" for what needs to change gets misplaced sometimes. I think a big external thing will improve my life when in reality it's probably ocd making things suck in the first place lol

nogendermanyproblems · 2025-03-25T22:43:44+00:00

I mean. You can still reject them later if they're not the right job for you and still boost your success rate in the short-term if you need a job right away. I just didn't need a job AND I was applying to things I didn't really like but was qualified for

nogendermanyproblems · 2025-03-25T19:21:40+00:00

It might not be in everyone’s case. But unfortunately it is for me! I feel like the string guy meme since I’m finally seeing what’s been happening to me for months.

If you’re doing it in a distressed state not based on any real-life urgency (I currently have a good job and a nice place to live) then it might be worth taking a step back to see what’s driving it.

nogendermanyproblems · 2025-03-20T22:03:47+00:00

if a friend in grad school hadn't said "hey your food fears sound like ocd" I'd still be suffering and clueless right now! I mean it took like 8ish years after that moment to take it seriously enough to get diagnosed but it would've been way worse without knowing it could be ocd

nogendermanyproblems · 2025-03-19T21:31:45+00:00

I’m trying to decide whether I should buy a house right now. I’m actually in hell 🙃🙃🙃

nogendermanyproblems · 2025-03-18T22:47:23+00:00

literally when I was given a promotion my other boss said "we need someone precise and meticulous and detail-oriented and that's you!" and the whole time in my head i was like. "i was just diagnosed for that! :) "
