I was diagnosed with ocd two years ago and I’m unmedicated (I don’t want to get reliant and then something happens and I can’t take em anymore). I’ve lost a lot of sleep and the past two weeks have been hell.

I go through a new compulsion almost monthly. January was rabies, February was my roof collapsing, March was earthquakes, and April it was termites/bedbugs. Now this month is fire.

I’m making a really big decision so I guess im worried that literally any bad thing can go wrong. Since the beginning of the month I’ve been worried about a fire and it went from just constantly checking the stove to sniffing out smoke and now, please don’t make fun of me, I’m sniffing outlets!

I’m worried the outlets will cause a fire and now I’ll basically sniff them to make sure they aren’t smoky. If I see an outlet I have to check and it has to be for a minute. I have to do every single room. My mom caught me too and I was embarrassed because i know I look crazy! I mean how do you explain to your mom why you were in her room sniffing an outlet at 2am!? YOU CANT! I just need help how do I stop giving in?

I’m hanging on strong with this job but I swear it’s like they want you to quit.

So today I clocked for lunch at 1:46 about a minute late from the 1:45 time my lunch is. I take my lunch everything is fine and I go back to my desk (2:46. On the hour) and I see that I was taken out of lunch and put into ready and that I had a call that had been on for two minutes! Even worse the mic was picking up on my coworkers and the cx thought that was me! I wasn’t able to take control before he hung up and I read the transcript and god it was bad.

Just when I thought it couldn’t be worst there was a second script open and that was for five minutes!? I was originally thinking it was just a new policy and that now if you aren’t ready when you’re supposed to they’ll force you ready (which is damn ridiculous if true) but that previous call shows they put me in ready when I would have been on my scheduled lunch! They’ve never done this before and now it’s happening? That’s so weird and it’s not just me my cub neighbor had a similar experience today where she was on her schedule break and she was put on call! I don’t understand why they are doing this!? Has this ever happened to you guys before?

I hate it so much! Like I get it a lot of jobs are like this but it’s genuinely ridiculous! I tell my mom certain things about my job and she looks concerned and tells me I need to file something with DOL (I don’t if they can really do anything they’re provate). It’s genuinely insane and everything you learn is more nonsensical and awful than the last

So I’m an American who got accepted to UWE and I was really really excited but now I’m feeling a bit of dread. I don’t know if any other American students felt that way (especially on the poorer side).

I have to get a student loan to cover the rest of my tuition (fasfa will only cover so much) and I told my family and maybe it’s just them getting into my head but now im rethinking it? What if I’m saddled with debt? What if I’m not smart enough and I flunk? What if I go broke? I can’t get a job? And the list goes on.

Granted I’m a first gen college student and this would basically be my third year of school after a two year gap so I guess maybe the stress is getting to me or maybe I’m about to make a horrible mistake! Would love advice.

Currently I’m going through a really bad fungal infection that’s affecting me. I can’t sleep well from the itchiness and it’s making my skin look really bad and it’s really painful.

It’s the worst on my scalp and my hair looks a mess because I can’t do anything to it’s just been really hard. I’ve been dealing with this for months all I get are topicals. So my mom was able to get me squeezed in with a friend who could help but with where it’s located and the fact I don’t have a car (and my mom won’t let me borrow hers) I would have to mix work.

I told my supervisor and she said to put in for vacation and I tried to but it kept denying it. Turns out I didn’t have enough vacation time and i asked for sick leave but turns out we don’t do that even though that was on the listing! So she says I basically have to do unplanned time off and then I can try sending a doctors note to the 3rd party they use and hope they accept it and if they don’t I get an occurrence because no matter how much you try to be accommodate they just fuck you over it’s ridiculous

I got back my estimate and the dorms are super expensive. I’m looking but really struggling to find good accommodations. What are the best sights to find them?

I’m always worried about developing diabetes and I’ve been having a lot of skin issues especially with my scalp. I’ve been really worried about it because that is a sign of resistance and it’s got me stressed
