How many babies would you survive?

You are put in a white room, a kilometer tall, a kilometer long and a kilometer wide. You are ageless here, and won't need to sleep, eat or drink. Also you will never go insane.

In front of you, hanging from the ceiling, there is a tube. From the tube, an 18 month "baby" appears that can already walk. It is not sentient, it's more akin to a flesh machine than an actual human being. It dosen't feel pain, and dosen't have a soul. It also will never grow up. Furthermore, is has the sole goal of killing you by any means necessary.

Your job is to defeat the baby by any means necessary. Everytime the baby gets defeated, three things will happen:

>you will get 100 dollars in your bank account

>the baby's body will disappear

>a new baby will immidieatly emerge from the tube, exactly the same as the last one

Time has frozen outside, so don't worry about spending like 10 billion years here. Your memory of this will also get wiped out once you leave.

On the other side of the room, there is a pit. If you throw yourself in the pit, you will return to the real world at this exact moment. If you fall here accidentally, you will be teleported at the center of the room.

The only other way of leaving is to die, and the only way to die is to the baby. If you die, you will return to the real world, same as the pit.

How long can you survive the baby?

I GENUENLY FUCKING HATE MATH

I'm on my last year of highschool, last few months and i'd rather fucking kill myself than take another shitass math test

WHY????? WHAT'S THE POINT? It's not even on the final exams WHY does everyone act like it's so fucking important? I'm in programming (i also hate programming) but LITERALLY EVERY SCHOOL is teaching math like it's fundemental.

"OH LITTLE TIMMY YOUR COOKING IS GREAT AND EVERY MEAL IS DELICIOUS BUT OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO INTEGRALS FUCK OFF AND COME BACK ANOTHER YEAR" WHAT'S THE POINT? WHO'S THE NEUROTYPICAL THAT DECIDED THAT MATH IS SO IMPORTANT.

"Oh but you need to have a cul-" I ALREADY HAVE C2 IN ENGLISH (i'm italian and i live in Italy) I'M GOOD IN LITERATURE, I'M WRITING A BOOK AND I'M AVERAGE IN LITERAL ANYTHING ELSE WHY IS MATH SUCH A BIG DEAL.

today i gave up on taking the test and asked my professor if i could do an oral exam (i had been skipping school specifically to avoid taking this last test) but NOOOOOOOO i gotta do it written GO FUCK YOURSELF

I will continue to have these fuckass toughts WHY DO I HAVE TO TAKE A MATH TEST??? WHY DO I BOTHER TO EVEN GET OUT OF BED IF MY LIFE WILL CONTINUE TO BE LIKE THIS???

I'D RATHER FUCKING KILL MYSELF THAN TO TAKE ANOTHER MATH EXAM

Obsession with fictional (sometimes even real) stories of abuse

I've had his since I was very young. I was always the weird and sensible child, and the first instance of this happening was when I came across a video talking about Epstein island. I was shook to my core, and did everything to avoid thinking and reading about it.

Later, during my first year of highschool, I read Game of Thrones and was shook by Daenery's forced marriage and rape. It happened in later years: I wuold read a book and felt distress when a female character was in danger of getting sexually assaulted. It was manegeable until last year, when I decided to stop reading because this thing kept happening. This obsession, however, did not stop. My brain kept digging up stories i've read in the past, until mid July it attached to a web serial and a korean manwha, both of which happened to talk about bullying to an extreme degree (I was kinda bullied before, but not physically and very sporadically, but I was afraid those people wuold do horrible things to me). It even happened that I got attached to a story of human trafficking on reddit. I'd say that my major fears are bullying, sexual abuse and abuse in general.

It then spiraled from there. I was obsessed with these stories: I was researching the abuse that happened it them, every detail about it. It got to the point where i'd get the urge to look up the same information again and again, and it hurt every time. I'm also a writer, and these character started to "infect" my imaginary world, tough very little. I imagined little unserious stories with them, but it gave me a weird feeling of hyperarousal. My brain also made up "reasons" for me to look up these things, like using them for reference as a drawing, learning their name to put them in the "imaginary world", or even that it wuold be some sort of ERP therapy.

I talked about extensively about it with my therapist, and concluded it was some form of OCD, self harm and vicarious trauma mixed togheder. I fear i \\\*have\\\* to do it. That i'm actually attracted to these things, and that looking them up wuold be a form of ERP therapy, though logically i know it wuold only fuel my OCD.

Everytime I give in these urges i always feel great distress and hyperarousal, to the point I can't function properly, followed by a great emptiness and numbness. I also tend to associate unrelated things to these pieces of fiction, like a character's hair or name, and I tend to avoid it.

I don't want to do it. I don't want to hurt myself. I'm also contemplating death. Not considering it, but being a little more neutral about it.

# Please, if anyone knows what this is and how to treat it, please advise, I don't want to keep living like this

Need help with vicarious trauma (mentions of rape and self harm)

i already went into detail about how my ocd manifests in my other posts, so i'll repost something i already posted + other things:

>i view a glimpse of a piece of fiction. in particular, i see a notion of a character suffering (either being sexually assaulted, raped, or bullied, for about a year it's been one of those)

>then i'm compelled to research into the abuse. how it was carried out, why it was carried out etc.

>usually, i'll be relieved when it turns out said abuse wasn't as serious or shown as much as I thought

>when it was shown, however, i fall into a spiral of researching it more. i'm compelled to research the exact wording, trivial information etc. and my brain will even make up questions

>for example, my brain told me to research a fanfiction (this media has a pretty expansive fanfiction community) about a character of my obsessions being sexually enslaved.

>even before, that same day, I remembered seeing a video about a videogame about human traficking where you pick vulnerable victims in a school, mutilte them and ship them to clients. and now my brain wants me to look how these teens were taken

>just now I attempted to search one of these characters of pinterest. I only inserted their names in the seach bar, i didn't see the results

>i've also had an "imaginary world" of sorts since childhood, and whenever I have these episodes these same characters seem to "bleed into" my world. I often put them into ridicolous situations, or even have them interact with my characters (i'm an author)

>also i get compelled to search up seemingly innocous details about the material, like names, hair color, styles etc. And when I see those things outside that context i get distressed

i've talked about it extensively with my therapist, and we've formulated multiple theories. one of these is that this is a sort of self harm, specifically self-harm ocd. i feel awful when reviewing the materials mentioned above, empty inside. and when i'm particularly angry about something i tend to pull my hair, crying a bit (not sobbing, just tearing up) and drive my nails into my skin.

I also theorized that it could be some sort of vicarious trauma, since i'm a pretty empathetic person.

i wonder if such a thing is even possible. i don't know if i'm being insensitive, and I apologize if I offend anyone, but I wanted to know if it is possible to feel this way towards fictional people.

please advise and thank you

I gave in to a small compulsion and it clicked just now and i'm scared

I've went about it extensively in my other posts, but long story short my ocd is latching onto fictional depictions of abuse. There were two pieces of fiction which were my bane for almost a year, the first one's obsession however is weakening, maybe because i'm obsessed with the second, but that is fading too.

Basically i forgot the name of the sister of one of the abusers, who abused the main character of this story. I recognized that it was a compulsion, although the distress associated with it was small, almost impercettible. Regardless, I managed to find this character's name on fandom without going in the abuser's page (I already did something similar but instead i went to the video that started the obsession with the second and I was burned out for days)(also the sister literally did nothing, she was a tertiary character).

It was almost meccanical, and when I did found out the name i moved on, deleted the search history, and didn't think much of it until now.

For about a month i think I managed to suppress the urge to look up other two names from the second obsession: the father of the main victim (whom is now kinda my obsession, although weak) and another victim.

Now that I realized the error i made, the urge to look up those names has risen, though relatively weak. I know it will hurt if I do, i know the relief will be nothing but temporary as I take another step into the abyss, but my OCD tells me i have to do this otherwise it will never get better.

Please advise

Like, i'm mostly talking about polytheistic mythologies where there's a specific god representing a concept. Like there's a god representing war, another representing harvest, another one representing more abstract concepts like luck etc.

And in most mythologies, these gods didn't come all at once: there's a long history about each of them. So I was wondering, before that specific god was born/created, what was of the concept they represented.

For example, Aphrodite was the daughter of Uranus, but emerged from the sea after a long time, long after the titans were killed. *before* she was born what was it like? Did people were stricly in platonic relationships but after she was born they started to fall in love in the usual way? Or what about Tyr, the norse god of war? Was there peace before him? Or did all these concepts existed before their respective deities but were just unassigned?

Long story short i found her in the holy nation, brought her to the hub, took all her clothes and replaced them with others, cured her and put her in a bed.

She just woke up and attacked me. How do i get her to join my group?
