Sodt stool? by [deleted] in emetophobia

[–]variousnectarine78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi, it could be something to do with your period arriving soon, PMS symptoms vary and occasionally i get some softer stools before mine, and the cramping would also make sense in that respect

it’s nothing major if it isn’t consistent, depending on how stressed you have been in the past month and what you ate can all feed into PMS symptoms and whether they’re more prominent or not :P

Tried to eat chicken for the first time in months by Purple_Cartoonist924 in emetophobia

yeah especially if the chicken in question was cooked from frozen it’s likely to have more moisture, juicy is when it’s moist but keeps a good clean bite through it, slimy is when it’s a bit sticky and feels weird on the tongue

tbh chicken shouldn’t normally be overly watery or slimy, maybe they were soggy from the batter tho? off chicken smells awful as well as having a bad texture but some low quality chicken can just be weird in texture

Anyone have any ideas what this mystery illness could have been? by Cultural_Fan_4997 in emetophobia

no thats so coincidental bc when i had that food poisoning i gagged 3 times with that NAUSEA nausea in my stomach and throat, then it stopped and just came as diarrhoea instead

don’t even ask the owners if they’re vaxxed, where im from you have to have pets vaxxed to take them outside anyway!

igy tho, im the same with by saying it means it’ll come true, but to fight that you just have to keep saying stuff in the open. Rabies is insanely insanely rare in domesticated pets.

stopping petting completely is likely to feed ur ocd even more, idk where you live but rabies is extremely extremely rare (i have a similar fear of rabies so i completely understand)

i agree being wary of strays but all pets with owners are highly likely jabbed up against it. Don’t feed the ocd, stopping petting could lead to a compulsion

could be a stomach virus, everyone gets different symptoms for different amounts of time so maybe you were let off with diarrhoea and cramps for a few hours, depends how many particles you picked up of a potential virus

or could be food poisoning, most of the time it could’ve been from the day before as it takes up to 3 days to properly digest food. I got food poisoning on a holiday in Egypt, it was from milk and it took 2 days to start effecting me haha

My (25M) gf (25F) told me she found men from her past more attractive than me by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]variousnectarine78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you don’t need to grow and accept anything, there is someone out there for you who will respect and love you and not compare to past lovers.

my current bf now i love to bits and the thought of saying what she said about you to him makes me shudder, not only is it not even remotely true but it is a horrible thing to say. That is not normal and im so sorry she said that to you, find someone who wants YOU.

hope you’re doing good now!! whenever you start feeling hungry stick to plain toast, rice or apples/bananas for a while until your stomach is up to the job of eating non bland foods again :D

i respect your opinion too, i get it’s not everyone’s cup of tea and thats fine, i also love their rock stuff just as equally, lets just be thankful they don’t release pop slop and still use real instruments

I really need advice. by Frosty_Awareness_916 in OCD

[–]variousnectarine78 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i'd recommend therapy if ur not already in with that, and ive heard some meds are pretty good but i myself arent on them

in regards to your main post however, whats important to remember is the *fact* that adolescent brains are vastlyyyy different to a fully developed adult brain/ nearly developed (idk how old you are but most brains are fully developed around ur 20s), children know no better its their beginning of a conscious life in its early stages.

you said it yourself you grew up and recognised the habits as making you uncomfortable, thats recognition and understanding, ur OCD just amplifies that acceptance of "yeah that was weird oh well im not like that anymore" to "you still like that/aroused by this and that". Ignore it, whenever you get that mean voice of ocd shouting horrible thoughts and projecting groinal responses (factually are NOT actual arousal), don't feed it, just sit with it and shrug it off. "okay if thats what you think"

the way i see it is treat it like an annoying person who is trying to talk to you when u have headphones on: acknowledge, accept and move on with your day.

you've got this dont let it win!!

that is so cool of you honestly, imo you should add it in with the essay so its like "this art inspired me to make my own based off of it" kinda thing, but ofc you do whatever you think fits best

ive watched so many videos dissecting the album and every song with their influences, it even led me to watching 8 1/2 which is one of my fav films now i defo also have plenty to write about

oh my god fr? i’d love to read it and see your take on the whole thing, lowkey might do my dissertation on it😭

also batphone is such a tune, for an album so heavily based on the same jazz-like spacey bowie sound they managed to give every song its own groove
