Something I’ve noticed while lurking in this subreddit is that it seems requesting a congressional inquiry into the status of your clearance is generally frowned upon except for extreme cases. I guess I’m just curious as to why that is?
Title pretty much says it all. I experienced a very intense OCD-related spiral while at work today and while I’m doing better now than I was a few hours ago I’m still pretty on edge. I don’t want to go into detail for what caused it (saving it for my journal), but I wanted to know if anyone on here has any coping mechanisms for when they experience intense spiraling like I did today? Or if anyone has any positive vibes they could send my way I would really appreciate that as well! Thank you to anyone who reads this!
So last night I was out drinking and I was at a rave. I saw a man I thought was cute so I went over to him and started flirting with him bc I thought he also felt the same way. We’re talking and at one point I tell him I think he’s beautiful and I even have my arm wrapped around his shoulder. It turns out he didn’t feel that way I felt bc shortly after he put on his coat and told me he had to use the restroom and I did not see him again after that. I’ve been spiraling all day because of how horrified I am that I may have made him uncomfortable, which was absolutely not my intention. I talked to my friend about it and he doesn’t seem to think it was actually that big of a deal since aside from wrapping my arm around his shoulder nothing actually happened. However, the guilt has been eating me up and making me feel sick to my stomach. If I ever see the man again I do know that I have every intention of apologizing profusely but aside from that idk what to do and I’m freaking out.
