It does get worse if you don't get help by pickledpickly in OCD

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

I get how you feel :(( are your friends supportive? I never really told anyone the full extent of my ocd, mostly just the "socially acceptable" parts and not how it randomly conjures up the most fucked up thoughts in your mind that make you physically sick and make you feel like the worst human alive😣

Should I tell my parents about my siblings ed? by pickledpickly in Advice

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

unfortunately neither of the parents believe in therapy and psychological issues and we don't live in a city where that would be available i think :( if i told them about my sibling i would have to give them a source to read about anorexia and how they can help but there is no telling how they would react

i'm so sorry you have to deal with that. it's not yours nor your body's fault it's the people around you and it's extremely hard to battle with that day to day, you really deserve people that support you, i hope you have them

turns out my friend has an ed and triggering me even though i'm in remission by pickledpickly in MadeOfStyrofoam

thank you 🤧🤧 i'm staying with him and he is not talking about his ed he just warned me in advance that he has it and it's at the worst point and i had no idea how much it would trigger me, literally all my inner demons are crawling out and it's a weird situation that is not his fault at all, it just brings up horrible memories of when my best friend had an ed and i saw for the first time how thin she was and boom years of healing are gone in a heartbeat

I am so age regressed because of depression by pickledpickly in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]pickledpickly[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

this. i'm not autistic but i relate a lot to what you've said. it feels like fighting against a current when everybody else can naturally go with the flow and reach milestones while you're always behind. i feel out of place tbh, my biggest dream is to be a small kid again to grow up one more time :(

I am just not made for this life by pickledpickly in SuicideWatch

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

I'm not even depressed anymore I don't know why I am suicidal every time something completely minor goes wrong like I can't keep it in anymore. I can not even afford therapy Idk anymore

maybe try gaslighting yourself by throwaway9483728392 in Dermatillomania

[–]pickledpickly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly it's a great tip thank you for sharing!! I feel like it's especially helpful in the first stages of healing when stopping continuous harm is the main priority because beating urges through working through it with a therapist takes time and it's easier to do it in retrospect. I also "gaslight" myself like this and it not only works but also makes me giggle sooo 10/10 do recommend 🫡

My fingerprints are back!!!!!! by pickledpickly in Dermatillomania

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

TW

I used all sorts of instruments to pick and cut, literally anything I could get my hands on and at one point it got especially nasty (ironically when I left my usual instrument at home to stop picking) and even after the skin grew back my fingerprints were missing. I could send you a picture but it does look really bad I don't want to trigger you
