I hate when people give themselves an OCD diagnosis, or say things like “I’m so OCD sometimes”. It is an actual struggle living with it. Organizing books by color does not make you OCD. think>speak

I wish mine was just organizing books by color. There’s so much more that plagues the mind than that.

Yes. I hate when people say this to me... they have no idea I’ve struggled with OCD for years.

After meeting someone that truly struggles with OCD I’ve never said I was OCD again. And I tend to correct people when they say stuff like that because I know how debilitating my friend’s life is.

I was hospitalized for OCD as a teen and have suffered with it most of my life. It’s fucking awful and debilitating and I find it so aggravating when people compare organizing their closet to what we deal with on a daily basis. I’m not overly PC by nature but this is something that really gets to me. It’s daily torture, not a way to describe your suit jacket line up

@Strat, it’s not offensive, it’s ignorant. There’s a difference. Clearly you’re part of the problem

In a similar vein, do you take anything for it? Ive been taking sertraline (Zoloft) 50mg for about two years. In addition, the book Brain Lock helped a bit.

I struggle with OCD, but I can handle hyperbole.

I’m in Los Angeles and I have extra medication from an egg retrieval cycle that I’d like to give away (free). This bowl has been such a huge community of support for me, so I’m offering here first before taking to my clinic.

Anyone in Los Angeles and in need of these medications? I was fortunate enough to have them fully paid for by insurance, and I’d be happy to pass along that savings to someone who could use it.

Hi Fishes,
I am really looking for some serious advice to cope up with a cracked tailbone. I broke mine during a horse riding incident.

Now, I am getting seriously overweight, in fact, on the verge of getting obese, and this injury right now is pretty much killing the 2022 dream.

I do walk right now, oddly at a slow pace, for about 3-4 km each day. If there any kind of strength training I can introduce in my regimen to err not feel all so depressed with the way I am in for.

About 3 months ago I moved to a new team within my company. The new role came with a higher pay structure and a senior title. My company is currently giving out performance and salary evaluations for next year, and although I had a great evaluation, I received no salary adjustment because I was just “promoted”. While I’m happy with my new team, I can’t get over the fact that I’m not receiving any sort of salary adjustment. It just feels like I’m getting ripped off. Thoughts?

I'm not convinced strategy as we know it in the agency world is even worth it at this point. We pay lip service to it, we scope for it, we have CSOs, but at the end of the day beyond new business, it just isn't held in high esteem - and I don't mean the skepticism it's always garnered.
