TBH I don’t know a whole lot about peripheral staring ocd, I don’t have that, but it seems somewhat similar to what I have. I have taboo thoughts OCD (among other flavors, it kinda depends what’s going on in my life) and tbqh the only thing that really helped me was ERP/therapy. It got so bad before I went to therapy I was considering suicide. I was so anxious and spiraling I was spending 8-hours a day doing compulsions and the time spent not doing compulsions, I was so anxious it literally felt like a cat on my chest, I couldn’t breath well.

Anyway, fast forward to like 6 weeks after I started Therapy and symptoms much more manageable. Now I’m a year out from starting therapy and like, it’s still there, but I have a path forward/plan to deal with the intrusive thoughts. It’s very manageable and sometimes flare ups happen but they only last for a day or two at most before I get them under control

Death to israel

The original issue was that it had a Star of David on it - to be clear I support the burn emoji

Yeah it’s frustrating. Don’t know if I’m being misgendered but generally I assume I am if a man is calling me bro

Me too me too. The other thing you can do for your front door is take a short video of you showing it’s locked. I always am like “OMG DID I LOCK THE DOOR” when I get on a plane lol

No way to know but to try

Lmao me too! I had the same thought

Do you need some help with some of those questions?

Like, just carry your adhd meds in the bottle with your name. Literally no one will check. Same deal with needles and estrogen.

If you’re worreid about your house catching fire when you’re gone take a pic of your stove being off. If you’re in a house turn off the main water valve before you leave.

If it’s expensive for you, it’s fair to ask for her to buy the plane ticket since she wants you to visit. She might do it lol. If she doesn’t, “I can’t afford it” is totally acceptable.

Maybe you will get arrested but honestly you almost certainly won’t. You just won’t lol.

And yes… using vacation of visiting family is a thing. It sucks. I don’t really like doing it lol. Sorry.

Vegas is fun and all but now it’s like super expensive to go. It used to be that it was cheap and then you spend all the money on gambling. Now is ridiculously expensive and then you have no gambling money

[venting] AHHH IM CRUSHING SO HARD ON THIS GIRL AND IM MOVING FAR AWAY VERY SOON!!! I feel this like incredible sense of loss because I really feel like we could have been so amazing together…. But I’m also in an open relationship and yeah idk I am feeling so goddamn confused and torn apart. Trying to figure out the open thing but yeah idk I’ve been crushing on this girl for a year or so… I don’t know if it would ever work out or if she feels the same about me…

idk if I should say anything or what. I really want to but I feel like my brain is clouded by emotions and it might make her uncomfortable…. But I’ve also used that reasoning to basically avoid telling anyone anything about my feelings for my whole life. Idk.

It’s true but I think I’ve seen lots of trans girls go from “I don’t wanna get rid of it” to “I’m getting bottom surgery” over the course of a few years, so it’s a little bit of a mine field if you only have a penis genital preference. Like, I wouldn’t want to stand in the way of my partner getting bottom surgery (I don’t have an exclusive preference but yeah I’ve seen this happen a few times)

If he successfully does this idk what to do, seems like a bad precedent

This guy is queer and has dated trans women before, and from what I can tell he definitely sees me as a woman, but I had the same fears and issues with men before. Also chasers are gross :(

It’s an unfortunate reality but a ton ton ton of people don’t actually reach out to make plans even though they are my friends. I generally make things happen. I know who my friends are because they show up when I invite them :)

I have found that with people with similar interests (lots of my friends climb) I just made a group chat with everyone and am like “Hello everyone I am climbing today at this location and this time, come join me!!” And I usually get a few people. They’re not always the same people either so I get a lot of quality time with different friends this way, while leaving it completely up to them to show up or not.

I’m sorry you deal with understanding social cues, there’s a lot of nuance and it’s pretty subtle :/ the way I go about it is if I like hanging out with a person I’ll reach out to them and ask if they want to do something. If they reject me a few times without trying to set something up I just give up

I went on a date with a reaaaaalllyyyy cute guy last night. We talked for like 3 hours and he kissed me goodbye. So forearms were like double the size of mine I was in a puddle at the end, this is my first time that I’ve had a guy make me feel this way and I’m like what the hell, how have I missed this my whole life 😭

I feel like I’ve always been attracted to men in kinda a different way, like they were my friend and we were the same, while women were like this other species, but i really like it flipped around lol. 😝

I think this is what the fascists in the Netherlands are like, maybe minus the George Floyd stuff (like what the hell maybe she hates cops??)

There’s definitely a contingent of “white power includes white gays” people

Wait is the ceasefire in effect now??

Pakistan has nukes tho

Is he completely delusional? Is this a purposeful lie? I honestly can’t tell

I feel that. At like 23 or 24 I kinda realized I was probably trans but I was so scared of grappling with it I just stuck my head in the sand for another 5 years. Tbh I feel a ton of regret around that decision
