Here's an idea:

Instead of doing that thing?

Just sit still.

We don't do compulsive behaviors because we lack willpower. We do them because it's the only way we know how to self soothe. Soothing is an instinctual behavior, not a moral one.

My ADHD and OCD kicked in and I couldn't finish the timeline for the fantasy worldbuilding project I'm working on, I just couldn't get my body to do what my mind wanted, sorta because it wasn't perfect enough. I would just stare at my computer not being able to do anything. It was frustrating. I know I should schedule around my ADHD to make my mental health a better place for everyone or whatever. But I've been procrastinating on writing for like a year now. So I've been forcing myself to write whether or not my body wants to. I know that's bad for me. I just really want to get this worldbuilding project done, or at least this part.

We struggle with a lot of BFRBs. So I just wanna say shout out to all my fellow hair pullers, lip biters, nose pickers, nail biters, skin pickers, scab and booger eaters!

We deserve dignity and respect, no matter how 'disgusting' our compulsive behaviors may be. You're not alone, everything I listed we struggle with too! We understand the shame that comes with BFRB, especially the less socially acceptable ones. We hear you, we see you!

A few years ago, I started having to give a "kiss" to every animal I saw. It's a mental kiss. So when I see someone walking a dog, I just say "kiss" in my head. (It actually started with me actually pursing my lips and doing a little kiss, but I was able to change to the mental kiss when I got worried people would see me doing that).

This expanded, so that whenever I saw a picture of an animal, I had to give a kiss. Then even drawings of animals (not all drawings. They have to be realistic enough to trigger my kiss response). Now whenever I'm scrolling through tumblr, I'm constantly giving mental kisses to all the critters I see.

I don't know what happens if I don't give an animal a kiss. I've tried to not do it, but after a few seconds it stresses me out so bad that I always give a kiss in the end.

Also, many years ago, I was interested in Buddhism, and was going to a Buddhist temple for a while. I learned to chant Amitabha Buddha's name. At some point, I started saying his name three times when anything bad was happening. I don't know how I came up with three times, since I think you're supposed to say it at least ten times. I was the only white person at the temple I went to, and there as a bit of a language barrier (services were in Chinese), so my learning curve there was steep. But like, when someone was sick or in a bad place, I'd chant the Buddha's name. And then when I would hear about someone dying or suffering I'd have to chant it. If I think a bad thought about someone, then I have to chant it.

I'm not Buddhist. I explored that possibility and determined it wasn't for me. But I can't stop chanting the Buddha's name. I don't know what happens if I do stop, but I can only imagine it's bad.

When I see a poster for a lost pet, I now have to give it a mental kiss, and chant the Buddha's name. When the poster is in my neighborhood, and I see it every day while walking my dog, I have to give a mental kiss and chant the Buddha's name for it every day.

Sometimes, it gets tiring. Sometimes, I chant the Buddha's name for someone in my family, and then I have to chant for everyone in my family, and all the pets.

Sometimes, I see a picture of a dozen wolves or something, and I have to give everybody a kiss (though I've started being able to satisfy the urge by giving one "broad kiss" to the whole group). Scrolling reddit's popular page is an exercise in compulsive actions, because every other post is either an animal, or a story about someone dying or suffering.

But I can never stop. I don't know what happens if I stop, but it's certainly bad. I don't know how the world functioned before I started doing these things.

PS: I have been going to therapy and been on meds for anxiety for years. I just thought I'd share.

Tumblr triggers my compulsive organization/arranging behaviors when I queue and tag things, and I lose hours every day I queue stuff. For zero reason. No one cares. Theres zero consequences. The only way I can think to avoid that is to either completely stop tagging or only tag things I have quick tags for and to stay off the queue page on desktop, only hitting shuffle on mobile.

Because when I'm not compulsively organizing on tumblr I get other things I want to do done.

one of my definitely neurodivergent traits is that i have a compulsion to reinforce cardboard boxes for storage purposes.

I mean this in itself is ONLY possible because I tend to keep most cardboard boxes that come into my possession. (I was about to take a pic of the stack of random boxes I have here but realized that I'd have to individually blur out a bunch of shipping labels that have my address on them) And like, most of them do end up being useful in some way, mostly as I go through all the junk I've accumulated over the years and sort things into piles (yes I also enjoy sorting objects into piles according to various attributes....)

but it does beyond simply reusing.. i often can't help myself but spend a few hours actually repairing some really old ones that got worn out and tore, reinforcing the spots with weakness or add structural integrity by adding cardboard. lots of complicated cutting and trimming. lots of packing tape. i buy packing tape in packs of at least 5-6.

actually organizing and sorting objects into that small box might end up being a 1+ hour job lmao 🤣😂
