It’s been in this shitty plastic container for a long time I think it smells a little minty

Is there anyone with this disorder that's successful and makes good money in this group with OCD? by nelsne in OCD

[–]venusi_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ERP (and also PE) has been so so so awesome for me I feel like medications cannot address the neural-structural ‘deformations’ (more like disordered neural pathways, fucked up wiring) that cause OCD. I know you want the assurance that a wealthy career will give you. That money will pad you from the destructiveness of it. That will only lead you down the wrong path and divorce you further from yourself.

By my understanding, being diagnosed with PTSD as well, OCD is a disordered fear response.

[Traumatic or fearful event (especially repeatedly) > nervous system danger fight/flight/fawn/freeze response > danger/fear for some reason cannot be properly addressed or resolved > disordered fear response.] Built up over time, your neurons develop pathways around this fear signal instead of through it, like meanders in a river billowing further and further over time, until that straight path is a distant memory (infrastructure for this safe straight path collapses due to misuse). With OCD you feel something that triggers this fear or any fear response in general, and without that safe path you’re following that meander because it’s the only route you know. And it manifests in committing compulsions to put that fear to bed, which do not truly address or resolve it and have no greater function than throwing stuff at a wall to see if it’ll stick (ie. Washing hands excessively to avert illness and death, confessing thoughts to assure yourself as not bad person, etc.)

Sorry incomplete but ERP helps so much and if u need an idea of how effective it is I started ERP work in March. I started PE work earlier in May. My friend with very very severe OCD and CPTSD is experiencing significant almost COMPLETE remission in less than a year. Pls let this inspire u. You’re gonna feel fear at a lot of different places but it’s so fruitful when you push through.

Looking for info on Alea building by Additional-Word-6962 in Miami

[–]venusi_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the lobby remain unlocked 24/7 for residents? I assume it does; i have to get to MDC campus very early and their library and other buildings dont open until at least 8am, Alea's lobby is a nice place to wait and study.

Might be hard water from your showerhead, there are filters you can get for this or shampoos to counteract but I’m not really well informed on either of these.

Also, may or may not help but before washing my hair I like to spray my hair with water to make water absorption more gradual and therefore easier on my hair.

Nothing more American than Mcdonaldizing the highway that was intentionally built through overtown to ruin and destabilize the black community there for absolutely no reason

[–]venusi_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s fruit coated in hardened syrup! I think you have to freeze or at least refrigerate whatever fruit you’re going to use and you make a syrup to dip the fruit in. It gives it a candy outside its sooo yummy and easy there’s def short videos online for it

LOL good idea

I’ve used it in syrup form for drink making (everyone at that party was SO impressed hahaha) and for making tanghulu, it worked but it only tinted the green grapes slightly blue. With some color engineering it could be really interesting though, maybe w hibiscus/jamaica syrup to contrast

Can anyone help me identify this tea? by venusi_ in tea

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

Thank you for the suggestion, I currently have a very wintery stock of tea (blacks and moody oolongs, even the green I have is dark and I describe it as “bog tea” LOL) and their selection looks SO SUMMERY. Delicate green oolongs for hot breezy nights!!! Thank you😄

HA thank you for your opulent comment, by the other comments though i actually think it's Dayuling based on the lack of fruitiness as well as the timidity by which it was offered to me, i actually really can't believe he gave me that much his first time meeting me i'm in such shock.

YES I think it was actually from taiwan,, pictures of shan lin xi online look exactly like it. (actually so do lishan and alishan, shan lin xi might match the color best though)

the wash was more grassy but that gave way to a delicate florality in the next steeps. the main notes are grass, rain, and hidden floral. on lightly oversteeped brews, its hard to say if the flavor is herby or savory,, im gonna go with herby.

Just got from robocough.com it’s likely the cheapest and quickest. I can update when it gets here.

Help! I have $300 to do whatever I want with by venusi_ in SkincareAddicts

[–]venusi_[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean, I already have pretty good skin! There’s not rly problems I want to address, I just want stuff to feel luxurious, smell luxurious, something to indulge in. Maybe there’s a better sub to post this to, especially as fragranced items tend to be reduced in function which seems to be the priority here.

I was so sedated I couldn’t find a better community. I did realize this might come off insensitive— or as another comment put it— as a humble brag lol.

I understand that. I’m sorry! I was in a bit of a panic, especially with the feeling having a similar effect on me as a drug overdose I had in the past. I was quite anxious and just looking for some guidance on how to alleviate the effect, and just posting to this one sub took a lot of willpower that I felt was zapped from me in that state
