I have never considered OCD being in the cards. Genuinely, I just thought I was a bane of the existence with anxiety. Like if anyone read my intrusive thoughts, they’d be like WTF. Welp, I ventured into the OCD sub because someone recommended me to brows since apparently having the consistent worry of going crazy, or constantly worried over the edge about viruses, and basically turning myself into a compulsive worry ball is not just anxiety.

It makes me feel less alone and I am grateful for this subs existence.

Now, I have been dealing with this all my life and it genuinely sucks, like I crave to live a normal life. I would like to know is there any remedies?

I have a psychiatrist appointment tomorrow, but she is hesitant to diagnose me. Is there any medications I can bring up to her?

Thanks!

There is nothing that grinds my gears more than a bot having to ask me “tell me, who are you trying to reach”.

Me: Pharmacy

Bot: “I am sorry I didn’t quite get that”

Me: PHARMACY

Bot: “customer service?”

Me: “no.”

Bot: “ba-bye”

Like please can I talk to a fricken human???

Not talking about adoptions, but why did you decide to procreate so many? How do you feel about the decisions now? Did you want that many children to begin with? I am just curious.

I don’t even know how to announce this to everyone in my life, but everyone I know will call, and if I cannot answer, I have no idea what they called about. Not even a text.

Then, I will call them back when I can, not hear from them, I’ll leave a voicemail saying something like, “I hope everything is okay, sorry for missing your voice mail, you can call or text me”. Then when we FINALLY when we get in touch, they usually start with, “hey, what’s up” or something nonchalant 😭I will mention something like, “is everything okay? I left you a voicemail” and then, they are like “oh I didn’t see it.”

And also, I imagine once they hear the start of my voice mail, they immediately hang up, because yes, in my voicemail, I state to please leave a message or text.

So why do you guys do this?

I bloody hate you. You have caused my fence and your supportive fence to take it down, I cannot plant anything in my flowerbeds because you are on the other side of the fence taking up my nutrients, you decided to attach yourself to my yard and grow too, and now I have a hoard of rats because of you.

I would weedX you, but I would like to stay cordial with my neighbors. So. This is just a rant.

edit: to address the rat poison in the comments, I used corn pellets which I believe is not terrible for wild life. However, I hated the idea that my grandmother kept insisting on poison poison and mothballs (I refuse). So I am planning to have an exterminator come out.

Andddd now I am scared I contracted something. Will I be okay? And what is the best way to get rid of this hoard of rats in my back yard?

Lately, there has been a crazy amount of people being where they shouldn’t be. For instance, on a parkway, there was a bicyclist in the middle of the road going about 5 miles an hour when the speed limit is 75, I nearly shit myself because it was a close call, and I had to slam on my break so hard that I almost turned over my car. It was approaching on an exit ramp where you could visibly see a car, but that’s about it.

Before that, there was a truck that broke down and instead of running or waiting, a man walked, I repeat walked across an interstate highway.

Earlier today, a car pulled out and slowly turned on the road last minute and me along with the car next to me almost hit him.

The people wearing black clothes at night are now at the bottom of the list, as these fum ducks have evolved to be ignorant in the day time too. It has got significantly worse over the years with the amount of idiocracy allowed on the roads, and I am fed up.

Has anyone with “a bumpy brain” but never had a seizure that you are aware of have taken this medication?

My neurologist told me I just have a bumpy brain, but it is classified as epilepsy, because my anxiousness, and I really want to find a medication to change my life but can’t stop reading labels, does anyone take this and has found it to be okay with their bumpy brain?

Any ideas welcome!

As the title may seem, I have anxiety and depression lol.

Allegedly there are fatal reactions with serotonin, and I am scared of that along with seizures or something. Then, you can get hyper mania, can someone share their experiences? Thank you!

Edit: you guys have made me feel more comforted with it, thank you. Id really like to feel human again, and I have high hopes, thank you! But please these are so heart felt messages, if you’d like to share your experiences, please do!

Like, I will be somewhere and see a person with, lets say a cool outfit. I compliment them, and they will just glare at me and walk away. Or being in a group project and you offer an idea, but like the silence is so strong, haha. Ya, idk what that is about.

Idk what you call it, but like not the stem part, so… the butt of the banana??? Why? It leaves a non stringy mess, and you can open it pretty well without mushing the top part of the banana.

Maybe I'm a weirdo, but I have had more than enough friends or people ask if they can have __, of mine. I forgot to put my scrunchy up? “Oooh can I have this? “ I feel offended for some reason as it is usually things I obviously use daily.

Im a bull in a china shop, may you share your secure, any stone but good stone for the title above? Thanks!
