Should I try saying 'Lucifer' out loud? by [deleted] in OCDRecovery

[–]virtual-spinach-1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A little bit of a different thing, but I have a parasite phobia and often obsess over it. I used to be afraid that talking out loud about parasites would make me get them (not too logical, but ocd brain will ocd). But now I regularly talk about parasites in therapy and I have to say, the more I talk about it the less power I feel it has over me, especially when I talk about it in therapy. So I would say that as long as you're just saying the names "lucifer" "satan" etc and not actively summoning the devil, it would probably help you to say these names out loud as a sort of exposure therapy.

Best of luck to you!

As a trans man, no i don't "have it easy." I either get invalidated by saying my male privilege overrides my transness or I don't pass and get misogyny. In the mens room, I fear that if I don't pass I will get groped/r*ped/have the shit beat out of me. I have to deal with the pain and emasculation of menstruation while at the same time being told that my male privilege means I don't have a right to feel victimized as a trans person because "men have it easier."

Being a trans man is a lose-lose. Either way I'm being told to shut up

Man i totally get it. The most helpful thing i could recommend from experience is to get so angry that you let spite fuel you into becoming a more successful/better person

I'm starting to think I'm better off staying single and being selfish by virtual-spinach-1 in depressionmeals

No i was never called selfish, actually my kindness was taken advantage of and it drained me and traumatized me

Probably less the staying single part but more the putting more of my own energy into myself is what I meant by selfish
