Bladder OCD

I'm sure this is more common than we talk about. Anyone else feel constant anxiety about wetting/dribbling, even right after going to the restroom? I only feel at ease when wearing pads/protective underwear. I've been trying to find ways to cope that aren't costly and bad for the environment. What if I suddenly void with no warning (which I have no past of) and humiliate myself and make a huge mess lol? This disorder is exhausting.

All notifications sound the same

Hey all, coming from a pixel user to razr. I used to be able to differentiate my text notifications vs something like the discord beep, but on razr they're all the same. Any way to fix this? Waiting on an important text but being juked by emails lol

Refuse to operate due to self harm

hey all, just left urgent care because a self inflicted wound wouldn't clot. skin glue and butterfly bandages will be on for a week, and im having surgery in two days. my dad offhandedly shared his anxiety that the surgeons will deem me mentally incompetent and bail on the surgery. should i be worried? (spoiler: i already am)

edit: its on my upper thigh and it was out of an OCD compulsion, not depression. I'm not in crisis, but I appreciate everyone's kind words regardless. I have someone caring for me the entire way through my recovery, I won't be alone and I won't be hurting myself further 🫡

update: surgeon asked if i was okay casually, i explained that it was OCD and that was that. thank you to everyone who commented, I'm sorry to cause concern and more.

Crying in the classroom

These kids are so disrespectful. They think because I'm not their normal teacher they can treat me however they want. It's so draining and exhausting. Sending kids to the office all day makes me feel like a failure, but I can't handle them anymore. The school secretaries are no better. I'm young, so they talk down to me as if I'm a student (which I get mistaken for constantly, I'm 5'4). I love subbing but I can't believe what actual teachers have to put up with.

How soon after top surgery can I tattoo the area?

I'm planning on having my nipples tattooed, along with a tattoo over my scars. My roommate who's 3(?) years post-op recently got a tattoo around the area and noted that some places had feelings and some didn't, and recommended I get it done sooner rather than later. Does anyone have a recommendation?

It was his dad's, then his brother's, now his. It's too tattered to wear, and I can't seem to find it in this heather gray anywhere
