    Your Top 5 Favorite Video Games

    At first it was hard to get into the game but the longer I played the more hooked I got, after day 2 I was in. Playing the side quests are very intriguing and the best part of the game in my opinion.

    Going to an intensive outpatient program

    Thank you, I appreciate the best wishes. I know ultimately this is going to be hard but I can handle it and it will be a good thing for me, it’s just my anxious brain that can’t help but worry about it. My game plan is to not really think about it too much and not think about worst case...

    Comfort smells...

    Mine would be the smell of new shoes, a new car, and sharpie. I don’t know if I’d find it comforting but it’s definitely my favorite smells that I wish I could make a candle or perfume out of and smell it 24/7 for the rest of my life.

    Going to an intensive outpatient program

    I’m going to be starting an outpatient program next month, im very nervous about it because just leaving the house makes me very anxious. I’m mostly going for my anxiety disorders and agoraphobia symptoms. If anyone has gone to an IOP before please let me know your experience and if you have any...

    Emetophobia (Trigger Warning, TMI)

    I also have a phobia of throwing up and always have my whole life. It doesn’t help that I have a strong gag reflex and can gag by just thinking about gagging. If someone around me threw up or if I saw or heard it, I would be in distress the rest of the day. I hate the dentist because of my gag...

    Could this be why I was rejected as a teenager?

    You could say the same for drugs or alcohol. Doesn’t make it true, doesn’t make it a good thing. It feels good temporarily but it won’t last and nothing good will come of it.

    Do not take it easy when my person is critised

    I relate to being loud and not even realizing it and I do not like criticism at all either. It’s possible you might have rejection sensitive dysphoria, I have it and I automatically take criticism or anything like that as rejection which causes me to have an extreme reaction to it.

    Could this be why I was rejected as a teenager?

    I relate to most of what you are saying about not fitting in in high school or having any friends. I don’t think there is anything that you could’ve done differently. I wore the makeup, did my hair, and dressed nice but that never made a difference. I still had no friends or anyone to hangout...

    Do you still borrow books at the Library?

    I have kindle unlimited subscription, I pay $10 a month so I can read any book without paying for it, it’s considered “borrowing” the book. I personally don’t care to own digital books, I always return them to kindle once I finish them. I do get to keep the annotations and writings I do on the...

    Do you still borrow books at the Library?

    I have never borrowed a book from a library, I like to keep the books after I read them because I write and annotate my favorite parts. Especially if it’s a book I’d like to reread or be reminded of when I see it sitting on my book shelf. I do find it to be cheaper to use a kindle instead of...

    My Obsession(s)

    I do tend to hyperfixate on foods and drinks for a certain amount of time. My 8 month long obsession with sushi just ended two weeks ago and my current drink obsession is red Powerade which has lasted 3 weeks now. I do also hyperfixate/ develop an obsession with people as well. It could be with...
