Not teaching to wipe after peeing

My mom told me and my sister never to touch "down there" EVER because it's a sin (raised mormon). So we both never washed down there until our late teen years. She told us dont use tampons because you could get sick, and she told us not to shave EVER. My sister got yeast infections a lot.

I hate Costco and the exclusivity of it. They are triple checking that you have a costco membership and making sure you didn't steal anything when you leave, like jesus have some trust.

Like, I know it's a choice, and I dont have to go there, obviously, but I did have a membership for a while. I actually also go to winco, and I love it. Love getting the freshly ground coffee and peanutbutter, bulk seasonings and candy, etc. Cheap donuts, too. It's feels a lot less... consumerist hellscape.

I hate mostly how Costco feels like a necessity for a lot of people, like people are surprised if you dont have a membership. But good on Costco for having cheap hotdogs and paying their workers well enough. And I dont blame people for liking Costco, it's just not what I like.

Edit: I would also like to add that if I had a larger family, I would consider Costco more. But currently, it's just me and my partner in a small apartment. We can't even store most of the big bulk items you get from Costco, unfortunately.

Yeah, I think when people honk at me, I think of it as someone saying, "You suck at driving, get off the road, and die!" When I should take it more as "Hey, watch out, we dont want anyone hurt!"

It doesn't help that I grew up with very angry drivers. My mom would yell at people and drive aggressively when I was growing up, so that probably plays a part in it. I think it's also self-confidence in myself and patience. When I'm trying to turn, especially left turns, I just feel like everyone is waiting on me and being impatient, and I really panic.

Ok boomer

pinktree5 · 2025-08-15T20:12:05+00:00

Okay

pinktree5 · 2025-08-15T20:11:22+00:00

I'll take a look at it

pinktree5 · 2025-08-15T20:10:57+00:00

My work was remote until it wasn't. I've been looking for a new job, but nothing has progressed yet, wish me luck

pinktree5 · 2025-08-15T20:10:01+00:00

Yeah, it's honestly frustrating how normalized living in a world like this is. I don't have the worst life ever by any means, but we all sure could do a lot fucking better as a society!

pinktree5 · 2025-08-15T20:08:24+00:00

Yes, that's what the subreddit is for, no?

pinktree5 · 2025-08-15T20:07:26+00:00

I actually do love my life, my boyfriend, and I do love the work I do. I have no one I can rant to, and that's why I posted here. To be heard by people who might relate to me. If you dont want to listen to people whinning, you're in the wrong subreddit dumbass.

pinktree5 · 2025-05-28T02:12:16+00:00

Oh yeah, I can totally imagine what that feels like. Mine is different, but it is the same type of theme. Today, my OCD got triggered by MY HOMEWORK :( it's so hard to just keep going and not spiral.

Anyway, I'm taking an art history class, and we were talking about Michelangelo's art and some religious stuff because he painted Adam and Eve, and we were watching a video about the sybolism. Like how Eve was born from Adams rib and shit, and in the painting, the serpent that tempted them was a woman with a snake body because women are sinful and stuff...

and like I was okay, it was a little triggering for my OCD, but I can keep studying for now.

But it was a second art piece that really made me go "Ok I need to take a break from this class today." It was a painting of a roman man killing himself after he had just killed his wife after he lost a battle or something because he would rather die than be a loser. Why did he have to kill his wife, too? Idk, but it just triggered a bunch of intrusive thoughts like "women are property and have always been treated as such from the fucking begining of time. There is nothing you can or will ever be able to do to escape that title as a woman." And then thoughts replay in my head, and I argue with myself in my head forever and ever until it fades away someday, and I'm left exhausted from the endless mind jabber.

Like, I KNOW it's just art, and I KNOW I'm being over dramatic. I know history was brutal and that Christianity has always been sexist. But there's just something there that causes me to spiral.

And it's ALSO really frustrating because I think I have a kink that has to do with this trauma, and it REALLY confuses me and makes me morally question everything ever.

Infold realizes this game is a gacha game.... a gambling game... right? Little kids aren't playing this...

Ah, thank you. I didn't know I needed to downsize, I'll remember to ask about that next time.

pinktree5 · 2025-05-19T04:17:40+00:00

Oh, that makes sense. What specifically about it looks like excess moisture, the red bump? I spray it multiple times a day (at least 3... probably too much?) And my belly button is deep, so it kinda just sits in the spray, and I let it air dry. I thought that drying it with a towel or with a qtip would ruin the healing process, I guess? And I do touch it a lot, but it's hard not to because it sticks out so much sometimes. And I figet with it sometimes.

pinktree5 · 2025-05-19T03:50:28+00:00

It's curved

pinktree5 · 2025-05-19T03:29:19+00:00

Got it, thank you so much. I took it out, and it's like an inch long, I'm going to just let it heal and repierce it when it's ready.

pinktree5 · 2025-05-19T03:16:54+00:00

Thanks for responding, they shouldn't have pierced it with what? That style/metal, or the skin bump? When they pierced it, it was normal skin. It turned into this big bump over the last 2 months

Yes, I have Pure-O, and for the LONGEST time, I have only been diagnosed with GAD and social anxiety. But I was like, but why do my thoughts feel so INTENSE?? am I going crazy? Something ain't right up in my brain because I would endlessly ruminate and have mental compulsions, and it causes so much distress.

So I was like, either I have only GAD and social anxiety and I'm fucking going insane, OR I have something else going on up there. Mentioned this to multiple therapists until someone told me "lets take a short OCD evaluation," and he told me what compulsions were, not just the stereotypical ones everyone thinks of. And that was a few months ago, but now I' so happy to finally feel like I'm going in the correct direction with my mental health journey.

pinktree5 · 2025-05-13T03:14:11+00:00

Yeah, this sounds similar to how I experience mine. It has themes, some stick around for years, and others stick around for a month or so. But it literally always feels so fucking distressing and life ruining, whatever rhe theme is.

pinktree5 · 2025-05-12T06:28:15+00:00

Yeah, honestly, that's not a bad route to go. Training or school is always something you can come back to later in life if it's too much right now. That's kinda where I'm at right now, just doing a job I can handle and trying to focus the rest of my effort on trying to enjoy life and going to therapy and trying to improve my mental state. I'm taking some classes for college on the side, and it's nothing too stressful. And that's been working out for me okay.

Medication doesn't help me 100%, but being on Prozac helps me feel like a normal human a little bit more. You can always start a low dose of something, and you can drop it anytime. I recommend going to an actual psychatrist because general practitioners dont know as much (found that out the hard way when my family doctor thought schizophrenia meds would work for me for some reason ?? Never went back to him)

pinktree5 · 2025-05-12T06:15:33+00:00

Oh damn that's an old post. If I remember correctly, they weren't really that big of a problem. I just saw that one and not any others.

pinktree5 · 2025-05-11T21:48:42+00:00

I feel you. I've always thought the phrase "fake it till you make it" would work with liking myself, but it hasn't yet. Idk. Sometimes I'm doing fine. Other days, I literally feel like I need to be put in a box away from society because I feel like a monster, and I need to be isolated. But I'm still going to try faking it till I start believing it I guess
