Hi guys, this is a really weird thing I've been experiencing lately and I was wondering if I should go see a doctor or not. (I try to avoid going when I can because it causes me a lot of stress, but I really don't want to keep feeling like this.).

I'm 18, female, white, live in the US, and am overweight. I have OCD and low blood pressure.

I'm a cashier at a grocery store, been working there for about 2 years, and recently came back from a 4 month break where I was working a different job. Ever since I came back, I've started feeling sick during almost every shift. My throat hurts, lymph nodes feel swollen up, and, my inner ear hurts and pops much louder when I swallow. It feels like I'm getting a cold of some kind, but I'll improve when I leave and be fine by the next morning.

Symptoms start an hour or two into my shift, and I'm only there for 4 hour shifts. No one else has complained about feeling sick so I don't think it's anything like black mold. My current theory is that the air conditioning is drying out my throat, but fluids don't really help and I don't know if that'd explain the whole sickly feeling I have.

Any advice would be really appreciated, because I already hate this job enough and feeling sick during every waking moment makes it so much worse. Feeling any out of the ordinary symptoms stresses me out really bad because of my OCD as well.

Thanks :)

Hi everyone, I'm about to get my wisdom teeth removed this Monday and it's causing a lot of stress. I tend to do checking behavior with my tongue (touching it to my teeth and where my wisdom teeth are). I'll also do this weird suction thing in the back of my mouth, which I don't really know how to describe but they're both making me really worried about recovery and the possibility of getting dry socket. I also crack my jaw a lot without even realizing it. I'm kind of falling into a cycle of constantly looking up information about the surgery, which is making my anxiety even worse. I've also started obsessing over how I swallow and am wondering if that could screw up my clotting

I'm just curious if anyone has any advice or could share their experiences having dental surgery with OCD. All 4 of my teeth are impacted and are being removed. I think I'm only going to get more worried as I get closer to Monday (it's 1am and I'm writing this because I can't sleep), so any advice or reassurance would be greatly appreciated!

I finally got my dice turning out nice, but I'm now having trouble sanding down the higher side (the side that touched the lid of the mold)

I have all the tools I need, and have been sanding them in a circle, but the sides I polish turn out completely uneven. I end up sanding the sides of dice more than the middle, which makes that side super wobbly.

Any tips or tricks? I have pretty unsteady hands but have been trying to go slow :/
