Breaking the cycle is important, no doubt. The issue I take is the quote makes it seem like all they had to do was carry the hair dryer with them. There’s so much more that needs to be done.

No argument here. I just don’t think the other medical professionals are given a fair shake in the original quote.

Sure, but the quote seems to deride the other medical professionals involved. They were likely not idiots: they were likely thinking longer term.

When monitored, sure. The approach I would guess an OCD specialist would use (I’m not one, so this is only a guess) is to have the patient dry their hair, leave the bathroom, and wait as long as they can bear without checking to make sure t

That’s awesome! It’s funny because taking pictures was one of the major compulsions I had to break.

Just recently went through my phone and spent an hour deleting all the photos I took of appliances, etc. I had taken during the height of my OCD. It must have been hundreds of pictures.

Except that the small steps that seem innocuous actually turn into dramatic problems in the case of OCD.

Having lived through OCD and come out the other side, I completely understand why the solution was considered bad. Sure, this solves the particular obsession. But the issue is that OCD is never satisfied. You develop rituals like this and t

The principles in this article seem paradoxically conflicting, especially this one (“[don’t] Take pleasure in writing more code”) and “[don’t] Write for machines, not humans” Inherently, more code means more chances to explain what it’s do

Came to make a comment like this. Some jobs are great to do entirely remotely and forcing workers in those roles to come into an office is completely outdated bullshit. But there are tons of jobs that require trust and collaboration. For th

The author’s response doesn’t really address the complaint in the post quoted. The complaint was that Gemini lacks basic utility. Intentionally making things that lack utility is a great way to express an idea, but to me that’s an art form

The response to expect with #2 is that you get paid back in the form of fast search results, map directions, live communications, personalized news feeds, targeted advertisements, etc. Pay no attention to the fact that you’re not getting ve

Like art, discounting the human experience in mathematics strips away so much of its meaning. > It took me an entire three-year education as a mathematics undergraduate before I could look at Euler’s identity and say, “Yeah, it’s no big

Wow, and board games! At the beginning of the pandemic, my son was obsessed with chess but wanted to invent his own variants like horde or crazyhouse. Instead of buying several chess sets, I whipped together something like this but with onl

Quite an assumption to make about those that don’t like to re-read books. I love reading, I’m very picky about the books I read, and yet I find I’m only re-reading a small handful of books, many years after I last read them. What am I to re

While I generally agree with your sentiment, I did want to point out that you lambast the minimalist movement for adding white space, then critique this site for not having enough white space.

As someone who has dealt with anxiety, depression, and OCD, I am truly sorry that you have to go through that. I don’t know if you’ve talked to doctors about it, but if you found their support lacking, please keep trying. It took 5 differen
