Oh thank goodness I finally hit 1 year of meh button clicks
14I have dreadful OCD and over the past several years I’ve been trying and failing to reach a full year so my OCD ritual will finally be complete. I even had to click one extra day since it is a leap year. I’ve been checking this site just to press that damned button. I cannot properly convey the stress and anxiety that came from missing a day.
Now I can finally rest and not worry about this anymore. I completed 1 whole cycle. It sounds weird I’m sure but this is what OCD is like. Just these various irrational rituals you have to complete or you start falling to pieces.
I have finally been able to remove the albatross tied 'round my neck. Thanks for the meh-mories.

Congratulations!
After you’ve rested for a bit, are you ready to tackle this?
(I named the file “FauxCD” because I know it’s just a stereotype, and not necessarily what OCD is like for everyone. I also know that this picture pulls at people who don’t actually have OCD. Again, exploiting stereotypes for humor.)
So your lost your streak of incomplete years?
My streak is 364 days. I was on vacation. It’s the most meh thing I could have done.
Congratulations, , for such an awesome accomplishment! BUT now you must , Due to the OCD work on 2 years & Answer the daily question they ask. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you NOW do Both for 365 days in a Row! No rest for the weary!
MEALS! DEALS! EELS! AWESOME!
@lisagd ouch that is tough. Reason to get an electric car?
@lisagd on this topic (maybe it bothers me more than it should!) the extra .9 cents has driven me crazy for years. I remember my parents getting gas for the Buick at like 40 cents a gallon and the .9 was a way to mark-up the price by “almost” a whole cent and I’m not sure when that started (before my time), but obviously the first company to try it established a rule that ALL gas would be sold this way (at least in the U.S.) I remember my mother trying to explain to me how the .9 worked because it made no sense to me then (still doesn’t now, but I understand how it came to be).
But with gas at, let’s say, an even $4, I can understand marketing at $3.99, but $3.999? Be serious! But if any station tries it, people will go to the station across the street that looks “cheaper” but it’s only 0.1 cent less per gallon.
@lisagd @pmarin Here is your $0.009 reason.

Congratulation!! After working in a psych of an absurd amount of years and seeing just about everything, I truly get it. I think I’m more fucked up than the day I started working.
@Star2236 I’ve yet to meet an adult who got less messed up as they got older
