Perhaps unrelated, but I wonder who these mentors were in the case of people like da Vinci, Socrates, Archimedes, Newton et al. They must have had some adults who guided them towar…

Due to mental illness, I've spent 22-23 hours of my day for the last 4.5 years in bed on my smartphone. I only leave for food & bathroom. My BMI has been 17-19 for the entire perio…

My insurance potentially would not cover 10mg, so I'd split the 20mg tablets to 10mg per day for the first week, I suppose. SSRIs don't seem to treat OCD at low doses, so they want…

I did see a counselor for about 6 months, and I was kicked out in June, as they believed I required a higher level of care, such as an intensive outpatient program and/or an SSRI. …

I value my intellect, but I've been rendered non-functional by OCD, anxiety et al. Strongly considering a medication, I now have a prescription for escitalopram 20mg. I'm 27. For o…

They were blue-collar artists. They just tried. They did not wait for ideal conditions. Solomon in Ecclesiastes 11 preaches such wisdom. They planted seeds without bothering to che…

I do plan on moving to an unpolluted area, or at least that's what my OCD wants. OCD is "what if?"-centric. I do try to consider that intelligent people live, typically, in pollute…

I appreciate this response & the link, thank you!

If this were true, then it would help, but I doubt it. The ideal is to give up on timewasting/unimportant activities(Quadrants 3&4 on Eisenhower Matrix) and try/begin important act…

I'm not sure if this is directly related, but: I have PTSD & OCD, and when I peruse Google Scholar for information about toxicology, or the effects of air pollution on the brain, o…
