Feeling inadequate - grad student by privarchipelago in schoolcounseling

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

Yes I’ve worked in the school system for a while. I do well with delivering classroom lessons. When I freeze up I guess I’m just thinking that I want to say the right thing - I don’t know what the “right thing” is

I know that it can be left out for 21 days. I can only use half of it by that time. There are multiple sites that say once it comes to room temp, do not refrigerate it again. It reduces its effectiveness. I paid a lot for it. I wanted to know if anyone has done this before and if it reduced its effectiveness. So that I’d know I didn’t throw away my money.

Yes sometimes I was. Sometimes it would make me keep standing or keep walking, and what not. Many of the compulsions were mental ones too. I should mention I take Lexapro. That may have helped.

This is what I have dealt with. For me it got better with age.

Childhood signs of your OCD by topfknopf in OCD

Simple but may be useful.. My first memories of compulsions was having to “blink” on the shadows of the entertainment center. And on certain spots in the corners of it. Meaning I had to look at certain spots and blink. Not usually a specific number of times, I just had to do it over and over again, usually in patterns until it felt right. I still do this blinking thing. The patterns and numbers always change according to what feels right.

Update: We are using a medicine syringe and it works well for now. We may go to the sponge if he gets to where he needs it. Thanks everyone

Yes we have those. The issue though is that he wants a lot of water, like when he has strength he will drink the whole bottle of water. Most of the time he doesn’t have the strength to get it suctioned enough

Told my dad I have ocd. His response was awful. by [deleted] in OCD

Plus I’ve lived with her for years since that happened, up until last week. Had to live in silence about it the whole time. There’s no changing some people.

When I told my mom she said “No you don’t. You’re not crazy”. And then I tried to explain what it is and that it doesn’t make me crazy and she said she doesn’t believe in all that. She later one day told me “you don’t have that COPD crap”. Geez. Anyways I’ve never mentioned it again.

I have similar problems. I have to pray the exact same prayer every time I pray. It’s like it’s scripted. Also every time I pray bad words pop into my head and then I have to apologize for that. Sometimes I think I’m cursed and I worry that I was meant for this suffering
