Probably also worth mentioning that I have pretty bad OCD. I’m not asking whether or not this is completely necessary. I don’t want to make it worse but the waiting to change it out is causing me a lot of stress. The pain is already keeping me up, alongside the anxiety.
I’d love to have a shower (Is it okay to let soap get on the area? The wounds are small but deep. And infected (cat bite / scratch - I am already on the correct antibiotics and got a booster tetanus shot under 12 hours of the incident). I will change it out with Mupirocin ointment, gauze, and cohesive bandaging (I currently have Filoxmull directly over wounds, with Mupirocin ointment on top, wrapped in bandaging from the nurse in urgent care).
Thanks so much!

istg most people I know use it KNOWING all the bad sides to it and it literally infuriates me. my parents will cause arguments over me asking them to stop using it. i’m beginning to feel more and more stressed and have less care for whatever happens to their intellectual capacity because of using it. I know nobody believes how bad it also is for the world in general, but I can’t shake this sense of impending doom and nobody around me is realising it because we are so fortunate to live in a first world country. seeing ai (and at times not recognising it) sends me into a panic and it’s gotten to the point where i’m avoiding the news and social media just so I don’t have to see it and feed into the cycle. i’ve also had to switch from google and safari to ecosia (which also has an ai section, but you can switch it off) just because of their annoying ai functions. i’m so mad, i’m so sad, and i’m so so incredibly scared - especially as a young adult. my life feels like it’s over before it’s even begun.
