Having OCD and being an extreme procrastinator have caused me to waste my life.
2025.01.19 17:35 PghNH Having OCD and being an extreme procrastinator have caused me to waste my life.
It's not a good combination. I have small rituals that I do daily which I can easily take care of. However, I have a larger, more complex thing that I need to do in order to get myself to an "official" spot where things are started up correctly. Without going into too many details, it involves writing and notebooks I use but also the process of buying the notebooks and pens which has to go a certain way. My emphasis on this ritual has grown over the years such that I dread doing it . . . so I keep putting it off because each time I try, something goes wrong. The last time I seriously tried was Fall 2022, and it didn't work.
So this has caused me to waste years because if I'm not in a spot where things are correct, I don't feel that I can do certain things. Among those things I don't do is that I haven't watched quite a bit of movies on Blu-ray, or listened to some albums on CD, or read some books, that I have already bought. To be fair, all of those (except for some of the albums) are movies I have viewed; they're just new editions. For some reason I have reserved the watching/listening of them to a time when I'm in a correct spot with my OCD. I keep looking forward in my mind to having that time when I can watch them, but I keep putting it off. So I have movies I bought up to eight or more years ago that I haven't watched in full (I have opened them, just not done full watches).
Many of those movies and albums are in the world of David Lynch, my favorite filmmaker who just passed. So that is why I am so down, because I had wanted to watch and experience all that stuff while he was alive. Even when he revealed just a few months ago that he had bad emphysema, I kept procrastinating trying to do this ritual. So at this point things have an asterisk for me mentally because I procrastinated myself out of things feeling correct or relevant.
I still use a VCR for some things, if you can believe that, and I bought a factory sealed VCR from the early 2000s on eBay a month ago because it's something I wanted to do. I had a 30-day return policy on it. However, because I have procrastinated on opening it because my OCD didn't feel it was the right time, I have basically missed that window. So if it doesn't work, I can't return it and I'm out that money.
I'm really trying to work through these feelings and look at the reality of the situation and find a way through. I don't desire to cast aside all the rituals because to me that would mean disrespecting all the years I've wasted. I just want to minimize their importance and somehow get more energy actually to do this. I had a ritual set that I did in the late '90s and early '00s that served the same purpose as this, but I grew out of it because it was even more ridiculous. I haven't sloughed this off, though. Anyway, I'm not sure if this is relatable, but I wanted to write it out. Thanks for reading, if you did.

2025.01.19 17:35 bearsandsnails Soo I totally failed at dahlias last year- advice on how to succeed this year?
I am completely new to gardening- and I have always dreamed of having dahlias. I ordered around 5 tubers last year and 2 cuttings. And not one succeeded and grew. I’m confused as to what I did wrong and I want to try again this year but worried it will be a waste again. Things I can think of being issues: my automated sprinkler system may have made the area for the tubers too wet? I may have kept the tubers in the boxes they came in for too long (wasn’t ready to plant yet at the time).

2025.01.19 17:35 hoardac Any recommendations for a quick PTO attachment.
Wondering if anybody is using any type of quick PTO attachment setup. I got a Pats quick hitch set for x-mas and it is awesome. The ease of hooking up to my snowblower is great. Would like to make the whole hooking up attachments easy just have the pto to sort out. Watched some videos but they are trying to sell pto quick connect stuff, looking for some real world experience.

2025.01.19 17:35 Fun-Adeptness-6211 Is it bad to push through throat pain eating/drinking?
Currently pushing through some incredibly intense pain to get food and water in my stomach. I am eating like bowls of instant mashed potatoes with chicken noodle soup over them and ice cream. After I take my pain killers which don't really do anything I do just eat and drink as much as I can, but I worry I am going to peel of a scab or hinder healing. Am I pushing too hard? This is day 3 for me. I am also not sleeping at all due to how painful it is when I wake up. I hope my effort to eat/drink isn't negated by the fact that my body is not sleeping, just resting...

2025.01.19 17:35 Virtual_Abies_870 Check out my first ever feature film trailer!
 | Hi everyone! I’m a 19-year-old self-taught filmmaker, and I’ve been working on my very first feature film! This is the trailer, and I’d love to hear your thoughts. I’m fortunate to have an amazing team of volunteers supporting me, and I’m pretty happy with how it’s turning out so far. I’m still deep in post-production, handling everything from video editing and VFX to sound design, coloring, and pretty much all aspects of post 😅. I’m over critical when it comes to things I make, but I decided to let like minded people give me their thoughts. Take a look and let me know what you think! submitted by Virtual_Abies_870 to filmmaking [link] [comments] |
