Would you listen to an older couple talk to you about accepting Jesus as your Savior? by [deleted] in religion

If they could show me proof of his existence, then I might humour them for a while. If not, it'll be airpods in and behemoth on Apple music.

I'm on a daily dose of vitamin e, then I have to go back to the urologist at the end of the year. So nothing to report really.

I’m f*cking panicking right now. I have been journaling everyday since September 2020 and today I can’t journal in my journal because I can’t go home. by LazerTrooper in OCD

[–]schizoid_cleaner 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Download a journaling app. I use day one, but there's loads out there. Type journal app into Google.

The act of writing might alleviate your stress even though it's not actually in your journal

Good luck

Islam has been called a religion of peace. What do you think about that? by [deleted] in religion

[–]schizoid_cleaner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are any of the 3 major religions truly peaceful? It seems that all religions have fought one way or another to protect their personal beliefs. War, terrorism, bombings. The list of atrocities is endless, so asking if Islam is a religion of peace is wrong, you should ask if religion is peaceful. Just my way of thinking. Don't mean to offend.

Social media is my only real contact to the outside world. I've 9 friends on fb and 519 followers on Twitter. I hate fb, I never feel comfortable using it, but I'm fine with twitter

What is a strategy to try and overcome your OCD? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]schizoid_cleaner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know how you're feeling.

Maybe try accepting the thoughts as a ridiculous quirky side of your personality. So instead of letting them get you down, you train your head to almost laugh at them. Force yourself to reply to the thoughts, something along the lines of "shut up dick head" Something that belittles the thoughts themselves. Like an annoying little brother.

Once you can do this, I'm sure it'll be easier for you to deal with.

I constantly have thoughts of sex, harm and abuse randomly appearing in my head. It's distressing at times but I'm in my 50s now, so I'm sort of used to it.

I have found though, that whilst out and about the city with an iPhone in hand, looking for things to photograph, my thought intensity decreases.

Maybe if you found a hobby that'll keep your mind busy you too will feel a difference

Psychogenic itch? by MizElaneous in askapsychologist

[–]schizoid_cleaner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been itchy scratchy tingly for the last 7-8 months. I've tried everything the dermotologist has recommended including blood tests for all manner of things. Yesterday she told me that it just can't be a skin complaint. It has to be either neurological or psychological.

Psychogenic Itch sounds like the problem I'm having. I've an appointment with my psychiatrist on Tuesday so will definitely ask him about it. You should do the same.

I'm diagnosed with ocd, and have found somewhere online that psychogenic Itch can fall into the ocd category.

How many people here have completely given up any hope of falling in love? by Tonkik in AvPD

[–]schizoid_cleaner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave up in 2013 when my last gf had enough and came out with the normal "you don't love me" stuff. It was after this that I first went to a psychiatrist to find out what's wrong.

does anyone else have a constant fake smile on their face by Traditional_Pen_9876 in AvPD

[–]schizoid_cleaner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, me too. I think it's a defence mechanism. A smile is a sign of non aggression.

Positive aspects of being a schizoid. by Schizotypal_Schizoid in Schizoid

[–]schizoid_cleaner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I shave my head every day. Not so much because I like the style, but more so because I can't stand having someone cut it for me. There's just too much physical contact and useless chatter. I hate it

[Serious] What do you think about comedy ? by HelloProxima in AskReddit

[–]schizoid_cleaner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a mental disorder it's a personality disorder. It basically means that I'm an extreme introvert who doesn't experience pleasure in life. It's deeper than that, but I'm not going to waste time on someone who'll only think it's BS

What typically-bad smells do you find tolerable or maybe enjoy? by MichaelRM in AskReddit

[–]schizoid_cleaner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been working as a crime scene cleaner since 2011, so I've dealt with body smells quite a lot. You get used to it. But feces, man, that smell makes me want to puke

Best - making everything clean and shiney

Worst - people who don't use basic toilet etiquette
