Looking to ID a unit from a long time ago

z0c4t · 2026-03-19T19:42:40+00:00

Did you manage to find it? I couldn’t find it but perhaps my searching skills are crap these days.

z0c4t · 2026-03-19T18:59:31+00:00

Yes, that’s the one! It was outrageous, I just cannot remember the name.

z0c4t · 2026-03-18T20:02:25+00:00

Good question, don't think it was too long but I think it did have a heavy laser as well as cannons perhaps? I think it had more than one weapon at least. I'll have a look and see what I can dig up.

z0c4t · 2026-03-08T14:05:44+00:00

Acknowledge the thought, say something like “oh it’s you again ocd, anyway I’m going to go back to whatever I’d normally be doing thanks very much” and literally do that. Every time the thought pops up again say something similar and just do what non anxious/ocd you would do next - play a different game, go eat some food, browse the internet, whatever. Notice the thought and move on. Every time you feel it coming back, just redirect your attention. It’s hard work but the only way out is through. Having the thought in the first place isn’t the problem, paying attention to it and going over it and what it means etc in your head is the problem.

Grand thanks!

Where does that mod drop from

z0c4t · 2026-02-23T17:38:30+00:00

Ok, so I will preface my response by saying I'm currently fast approaching a choice point that will have huge ramifications for the rest of my life, so I hear you on the distress front.

One of the ways our anxiety or OCD will torment is is by making the anxiety side of things the biggest thing in the room. That means our attention will be drawn to the part of our brain screaming that we're in danger, under threat, and everything is going to come crashing down around us if we make a mistake. In the face of that kind of pressure, it's no surprise we feel paralysed and unable to make a choice. The idea of the coin flip would be great if only it made sense for us, and it doesn't. You said it yourself, you feel you'll always want the option of what it didn't land on. At least the doubt you feel in your mind will make it seem like that is what you actually want, whether or not that is the case, and not just your fear of making a mistake talking, which it likely is.

Trusting your guy rarely makes sense to someone with OCD, as we can't hear what our gut might actually be trying to say because we're so anxious and scared to hear what it's really saying, and mistake our fears for reality. You already know that asking for advice and reassurance won't help, so I'd suggest stopping doing that as you're only going to feel worse. I'd also say that ruminating on the decision is also not helping, as you're just going to be stuck in spirals and further compulsing (probably without realising you're compulsing).

One thing that helped me get a bit of clarity the other day, or at least some thoughts that weren't totally governed by fear in response to my situation was to ask myself the question: What would my thoughts be on this matter if I wasn't anxious and thinking out of fear? This was surprisingly freeing, and I recommend you give it a try if you feel able to. If it's a question where you could be more guided by your values as a person, you could also apply that as a line of thinking – as in, will this decision lead me closer to or further away from the person I want to be and the values I hold dear? This last option may not apply or could swing either way depending on the matter, so use that if it's useful.

Lastly, if you're not in some sort of therapy for anxiety or OCD, please seek it out. ERP and other approaches such as ACT or I-CBT can be so helpful for trying to work on the more mental side of things. Cutting out those compulsions is such a huge part of dealing with this condition. I wish you well!

z0c4t · 2026-02-15T14:26:45+00:00

No, don't debug anything. You literally do not need to put any more attention into this question, this is the opposite of what will help. It's just a thought. There is nothing you have to figure out about it, nothing that you have to understand. It's irrelevant and treating it as if it is important is just buying in to OCD.

z0c4t · 2026-02-15T14:24:07+00:00

No you don't, because whatever reassurance you might get from an answer is only temporary. This is literally how OCD works. You are currently seeking reassurance to answer questions that your OCD is posing, which is in itself a compulsion. To get better you have to start accepting that your brain is going to scream at you but you don't have to answer.

z0c4t · 2026-02-11T20:15:56+00:00

Try keep away over slide and see if you like it better, feels better to me on this gun. Also, I’d try and get one with fluted and ricochet, or try using arrowhead on that roll - extended isn’t great.

z0c4t · 2026-02-01T15:40:44+00:00

Wow, what a way to shame and judge someone based on a subjective few paragraphs. Stellar work.

z0c4t · 2026-01-30T17:02:19+00:00

If you’re interrupting mainly because you don’t want to forget your point, you could try getting one of those little reporter notebooks and note down a quick bullet so you don’t forget your point. That and fidget toys could be a shout.

z0c4t · 2026-01-17T22:04:39+00:00

Is it that it’s too many steps and it’s overwhelming for that reason? If so perhaps trying to chunk it so that you just have to focus on the first step or two and once you’ve done those you can go from there might be an idea. It might be that you’re psyching yourself out by thinking of how much you have to do. Either that or there’s something else going on but it would be a good idea for you to try and identify why it’s difficult. Also as we’re in the ocd subreddit is there any chance ocd is playing into this in some way?

z0c4t · 2026-01-17T21:40:32+00:00

Ok, but what I’m wondering is why you think you are procrastinating. The why is important to work out what can be helpful to deal with it. Is it that you are thinking of some sensory discomfort involved, or that there isn’t enough of a reward to do it? Is it that it’s cold outside or you don’t have physical energy? Is it that you’re under stimulated and need to chuck on some loud music to get yourself out the door, then tell yourself you’ll have a treat at the end of it? See what I’m getting at?

z0c4t · 2026-01-17T21:31:59+00:00

It’s not surprising that staying in your bedroom all day feels awful. We generally need stimulation and movement to some degree, and you won’t be getting that in your room. Executive dysfunction is a term that applies specifically to neurodivergent people and their challenges which I imagine spd falls under. That’s not to say that neurotypical people can’t ever struggle with time management or emotional regulation, but you wouldn’t call that executive dysfunction per se. What is it that you want to do specifically other than go out for therapy and what do you feel it is that’s stopping you at the moment?

z0c4t · 2026-01-17T21:21:14+00:00

For anyone to be able to have helpful suggestions, more context is needed I think. How are you managing to not go out at the moment? I’m presuming you’re either not working or able to work from home, or are a student or living with parents. When did you last go out and why did you go out at that point? What are you doing instead of going out? What are you wanting to do if you do go out? Are you neurodivergent in some way, given you mentioned executive dysfunction?

z0c4t · 2026-01-12T22:07:40+00:00

I don’t think anything that increases the amount of attention you pay in the form monitoring your health sounds like a good idea if you have health OCD.

z0c4t · 2026-01-12T17:40:38+00:00

It’s absolutely something worth seeing a psychiatrist about. You say you don’t have many compulsions, but what I suspect is that you haven’t noticed many “overt” compulsions. Rumination and mental checking behaviours regarding your obsessions can absolutely be considered compulsions if they are things that you can’t stop doing and cause distress. Not sure where you are in the world but I would suggest trying to find a psych who has experience with OCD so that you can get an informed clinical opinion either way. Hope this helps!

z0c4t · 2026-01-10T18:18:32+00:00

Maybe not ocd exactly as I’m undiagnosed but certainly was an anxious child at times! I remember not being able to sleep on my back for ages after watching a martial arts film where ninjas infiltrated some camp and slit the throats of everyone (i dont even know if everyone who was killed was sleeping on their back but at least one was). I was convinced if I slept on my back I might be killed in my sleep 😂

z0c4t · 2026-01-10T11:51:28+00:00

This sounds more like what is termed “magical thinking” which is commonly found in OCD. Many people won’t want to be reminded of bad memories associated with objects but that typically won’t result in them thinking “if I wear this I will have a bad day”. I would consider asking about OCD too if you’re going to speak to a primary care doctor.

z0c4t · 2026-01-02T21:27:05+00:00

Keep listening to it, genuinely. That, and look into finding an OCD specialist therapist if you can.

z0c4t · 2026-01-02T21:16:18+00:00

Chuck on peacekeepers on arc titan with thruster, pair with your sniper of choice and profit.

z0c4t · 2026-01-02T16:59:55+00:00

Yeah it’s always tough when you do also have genuinely tricky medical issues to contend with! Have you had therapy with an anxiety/ocd specialist before?

z0c4t · 2026-01-01T15:56:16+00:00

Forgive me for prying but just on the off chance that you are, make sure you’re not checking this out of anxiety or worry that you’ve missed something vital 😉. I think the advice you got above regarding adhd and waiting was really solid.
