It must be hair day. I just got a headblade and can’t believe how much better bald looks than buzzed when you’re balding anyway

Would recommend for anyone who wants to cut their hair and not their head :smiley:

Listening to a song I wrote today. Its rubbish. I’m amazed the police didn’t descend on my house just having been playing it on earphones before it might become a threat to the general public. Having a hoot :slight_smile:

Good SSRI medication, a great ERP therapist, and finally understanding what it is that has been going on in my head since my teens. I’ve built a great life: wife, house, fufilling career, toys for making music, but I’ve been unable to appreciate it in more than bursts till this year. It’s crazy how much space has been freed up in my head now I am dealing with my OCD - though I had no idea that was the name for it because I am so disorganised and messy. Turns out it has nothing to do with orderliness and cleanliness, those are just the most visible compulsions that only a portion of sufferers exhibit.

I’ve known deep down I love my life, but it’s something else to be able to actually connect with that feeling now I’m not engaged in the perpetual dread spiral every waking hour.

So happy for you @saltmart

Pretty sure I’ve got something like OCD I generally joke about it. (The version I have is called CDO … same as OCD except everything has to be in alphabetical order.)

Really hard to let go of even the smallest things…sometimes it seems useful… but hard to stay happy without intense stimulation.

I’m learning

If you do find yourself frequently bombarded/under seige by thought that are unpleasant and you feel you have little to no control over and just want to stop, then I can’t reccomend seeing a professional enough. It has changed my life.

Thank you @saltmarket that is considerate of you… and so glad to hear you’ve found a positive life changing path.

I wouldn’t go that far in describing my tendencies… it’s more of an “over achiever” thing. Not that I’ve managed to ever “over” achieve anything. Sometimes my brain won’t stop… I’ve learned to recognize that and get some rest.

As I get older it’s easier to see why I’ve heard the phrase “will you calm down!” So often. It’s gotten to the point where I can see it coming and get in front of it.

I married my soul mate because she is so good at pulling me gently back to Earth whenever I start hovering six inches above the ground.

YESSSS! Pen and paper nerds unite

My wife has the orderly / cleanliness version of OCD and the positive side of that has rubbed off on me quite a bit; I’ve learned how to organize my studio way more efficiently than I ever would’ve in the past.

I’m still trying to get tested for possible ASD, but it’s funny to consider the upsides of some of these issues, even if they seem like they only hinder us.

I bought a pair of “customer returned” jbls from a 2 star website, and somehow it went over amazingly well. received them and thought one would be punched in or both of them crapped out. they were essentially new I think and I couldnt see anything wrong or used about them besides what looks like a small factory mistake applying the vinyl on the mdf on one. pretty happy since I got the pair of 6"s for less than fair market value of used 5"s
