#compulsive behaviors

[1introvertedsage]

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.

I must not google medical conditions. Googling medical conditions is the mind-killer. Googling medical conditions is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my desire to go on WebMD and look up symptoms. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the urge to google medical conditions has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

If it kept you alive then don't regret it.

What's important is surviving. Being alive . By whatever means possible.

Forgive yourself for all those decisions you made, you think were wrong and do the right thing now.

You are here. You are alive. It's all that matters. I am proud of you.

Stumbled into a blog with cats and got inspired. Here a quick sketch of a peepaw Leo and a little Leo finding new ways to annoy his new big bro figure. Big Leo doesn’t mind tho. Casey used to chew on his bandana and scarf when he was a baby.

Fact: There was this phase in my teens where I had this One Piece logo necklace and I’d chew/bite on the chain. Not real healthy to do btw. I wouldn’t call it a stim, I grew out of it, but now I’m gonna give it to Leo.

Me: *is watching horror movies*

My OCD: *takes every note possible and tries to shove them into a filing cabinet that won’t close*

ocd culture is holding yourself responsible for everyone's wellbeing, so if you don't offer help to every single stranger that might be having a bad day you must to be a terrible & selfish person and everyone knows it and they're judging you and you'll never be able to show your face around here again

I have OCD, which means that while my room may not be the neatest, everything is in its correct spot (unless I have to order it again), and if you touch it, I’ll either have a panic attack or bite you. Or both.

Question for any other people who suffer from OCD and like to write: Do you ever get writing-related Themes™ or compulsions, and, if so, how do you manage them?

#actually ocd #ocd #obsessive compulsive disorder #actuallyocd #compulsions #writing compulsions #idk like...how to tag this so it finds people? #currently relevant for me trying to finish a project. I realized it was taking so long and becoming so laborious because the '''editing''' #was actually compulsive behavior haha. ha. #also if ANYONE with ocd has any words of wisdom feel free to share them even if you DON'T have themes/compulsions related to writing

[frankenstein-garbage-dump]

everyone with ocd is allowed to slaughter people who go “omg i’m soooo ocd!” when they straighten a pencil actually

I’ve had a lot of infuriating shit happen to me over the course of my silly little life, but I do think I’ve pinned down the single most impossibly frustrating thing in the whole world.

“Wow, you have amazing coping mechanisms. This is remarkable, you've compensated for your disability so well that you're not even disabled really. I don't think you need medicine or help for it at all since you do so well!”

I’m not saying that abusing neurodivergent children works, but it does insomuch as the ones that survive the process turn out capable of functioning at levels no one should ever expect of anything ever. I can absolutely operate at 200% efficiency, sometimes for weeks, but it is illogical and cruel to expect that from me as the baseline. 

#o thx they're so good on account of i'm alive #if i didn't have them i would be dead already #also it turns out my OCD is not subclinical #it is just pure o #which uh does not really show so it's rarely diagnosed #and like not to make my notes a primer on how ocd works but ocd works bad #compulsions look kinda weird and scary but they help #like compulsions are actually coping mechanisms #and my one actual compulsive behavior is so nice #see i got hit by a car once at a crosswalk #not super bad or nothing #i bruised up my hip and elbow real bad but i was fine #the car did not even stop to check on me #so now i have to hit the crosswalk button three times #or tap three times before crossing the street #i can do it six if i have to #nine is the best #seven is only if i'm praying for something #but the point is when i do that weird thing i do? #i'm no longer full of obsessive thoughts about cars hitting me #i'm safe because i did the ritual #it is compulsive behavior #it isn't bad or disruptive #i'm also terrified of movie theatres now #because my mom died when my phone was off for a prescreened movie #so i just don't go in theatres #if i do then my sibling will get cancer #which thank you so much covid 19 #now i don't even have to think about this one #but the other ones?

I think the most depressing thing that’s happened in my life over the past couple of months is watching an otherwise intelligent friend descend into paranoia and conspiracy. maybe ex friend now, because I don’t feel all that inclined to talk to him these days, but it’s still sad to be a bystander to this who can’t help even if you try to intervene.

#something I’ve been trying to get better at as I’ve gotten older is trying to avoid situations that #spurn incredibly strong emotions in me that impair my social function. #it’s not fair to the people around me and it’s not fair to me either. i deserve better than treating myself like that #and I’m starting to wonder if how someone answers ‘how willing am I to pull my own pigtails’ is correlative with extreme paranoia #social behavior isn’t really my bag outside of being in the world and observing it yknow #but a common denominator here has definitely been seeing someone come to this crossroads #and just choosing to engage anyway instead of telling themselves ‘I need to remove myself from being… #…so fired up constantly. it’s starting to boil my brain.’ they just can’t quit it. #the best kind of evidence – white hot anecdote #but there’s something about this that does seem functionally similar to addiction. just in how compulsive it is. #is anger addiction possible? I guess that’s the burning question.
