Moment of appreciation for all drivers out there with OCD. The intrusive thoughts. The way the steering wheel isn’t straight. The uneven muscle use. Whatever it hits you with — I am giving you a little bouquet of flowers. You are loved <333

happy disability month to all my baddies that take zoloft

I have a secret for you

part of the reason that zozo is so horrible at first is because it basically zaps the magnesium and potassium out of you

so when I was on it, the side effects were kicking my ass until I started incorporating things like bananas and kale into my diet and it actually worked, the pain subsided.

if you are taking this and struggling id highly suggest making sure that you make some smoothies about it

I think in my experience with it, the best/funniest way to describe living with OCD/anxiety issues/intrusive thoughts is that it feels like having a Tumblr user who sends anon hate in your brain; a loud, annoying, pathetic little voice that jumps to the most ridiculous, disgusting, uncharitable, nonsensical, bad faith, and upsetting-to-you-personally hot take on almost everything you do, see, like, believe, think, enjoy, and feel. And it harasses/bullies you by spamming these takes at you repetitively and demanding you engage with them, but the only way to really deal with it is learn to distinguish it from your real anons/thoughts and ignore it as the powerless deranged weakling it is because engaging with it is useless and just encourages it to keep bugging you.

⚠️Let us be who we're meant to be and give us strength to be able to stop pretending to be something we're not, something that's not even real! Society brainwashes young people into believing our bodies aren't good enough and they edit their models to create a "perfect" image that is surreal and unattainable so, people start hating themselves and becoming depressed and suicidal because they believe they should look like that when that's not even reality but they don't know any better. It either takes their life or ruins it forever because now they will forever have a stigma attached to their brain that was unwillingly put there by our society and they will constantly push people away feeling "not good enough " and constantly asking themselves why? And cutting themselves just to take the edge off and to feel something other than "that" unwanted ugly feeling. These people are forever effected with PTSD, OCD, Anxiety, Depression, Anorexia, Bulimia, self harm, racing thoughts, fear of being rejected, losing out on the life they should have had if only these images/thoughts/preconceived notions hadn't been forced upon them in the first place!! If only my voice mattered enough to change our world. Commercials/ADS should have real people and never have underwear/lingerie/swim suit ads because it may be offensive to others and is definitely inappropriate for younger audiences!! If we can't wear it into a store than why should it be on TV or billboards for anyone/everyone to see??!!

I am 32 and I still suffer greatly from what society has done to me, my quality of life is gone and can't be fixed. It's too late for me but not for others!! #RaiseAwareness 💕

To love and accept myself I have to accept the role OCD has played on me and my life.

“Forced diversity” okay but why do we have to force it? Why do we have to fight so hard to give women and POC quality roles in the media? Why are neurodivergent people rarely ever portrayed correctly? Why do women’s roles cater to the male gaze? Why do we have to struggle just to see Asian actors not get typecasted? Let’s unpack that

Living with ocd is basically living your days without knowing which new or old obsession your brain is going to choose to ruin a good streak that felt too long to be true.

Living with ocd is basically talking in a foreign language that no one understands and is always misinterpreted for those who have claimed to know me better than myself and suffer because of my condition more than myself.

In my case, living with ocd is to suffer in silence, because there could be no one that could be struggling harder than my ''mother'', for calling her something. For her, it's always a battle and competition for the attention. And I'm sick of hiding my suffering and still feeling so guilty about having ocd, of not being able to overcome it overnight because, according to my ''''mother''' I'm not putting enough effort to get better, unlike her.

OCD Awareness

(The reason I’m making this is bc today my OCD has been extra annoying and I’m tired of people not taking OCD seriously)

OCD stands for “Obsessive Compulsive Disorder”. It’s uncontrollable reoccurring thoughts (also called intrusive thoughts) and/or behaviors (compulsions) that the person who has OCD feels the urge to repeat over and over.

OCD can significantly impact a person life. It can interrupt social interactions, it can cause a person to avoid certain situations, people, things, and etc. OCD can also make the person feel disgusted, fear, anger, and sadness. The severity of OCD varies between person.

Mental disorders like anxiety can worsen OCD, for example the higher the persons anxiety level is the more likely chance their OCD can trigger and how often the OCD triggers.

OCD is a incurable mental disorder but it can be treated with medication and/or different types of therapy to help lower the severity.

The rarity of OCD is a controversial subject, some say it’s common and others think it’s rare.

“Well everyone has a little bit of OCD”, no, there’s a difference between “Wait did I lock the door?” then you check to see if you locked it then you resume your normal activities, THEN there’s “Wait did I locked the door?” then you go and check but that’s not enough, the intrusive thoughts gets so stressful to the point where you have to create a certain ritual and/or routine in order to relieve that stress even if it’s a short period of time. Also there’s a difference between OCD and a pet peeve, just because you can’t stand to see a painting crooked does not mean that you have OCD.

The cause of OCD is still unknown, researchers are still trying to figure it out, but some strongly believe that genetics and/or events that have happened has to do with it.

There are different types of OCD so some people that have OCD may not experience every single thing in this post. I really hope this post spreads some sort of awareness about OCD.

a moment of appreciation for anyone and everyone who struggles with OCD. We can be standing in the grocery line having the most horrific and socially inappropriate thought ever and still function. That’s freaking impressive

Nikola Tesla on his OCD

“I had a violent aversion against the earrings of women but other ornaments, as bracelets, pleased me more or less according to design. The sight of a pearl would almost give me a fit but I was fascinated with the glitter of crystals or objects with sharp edges and plane surfaces. I would not touch the hair of other people except, perhaps, at the point of a revolver. I would get a fever by looking at a peach and if a piece of camphor was anywhere in the house it caused me the keenest discomfort. Even now I am not insensible to some of these upsetting impulses. When I drop little squares of paper in a dish filled with liquid, I always sense a peculiar and awful taste in my mouth. I counted the steps in my walks and calculated the cubical contents of soup plates, coffee cups and pieces of food - otherwise my meal was unenjoyable. All repeated acts or operations I performed had to be divisible by three and if I mist I felt impelled to do it all over again, even if it took hours.”

–Nikola Tesla

i feel like people should know there are differences between a kleptomaniac and a "mwehehehe I'm stealing because I'm evil and i like money >:)" character

Saying this as someone that absolutely loves silly cartoon thieves and goons, kleptomania is a compulsive disorder it's not the same thing as stealing for the need of money or becuz you're evil and fucked up

So stop calling thief characters kleptomaniacs, it's pretty frickin harmful for people that actually suffer that disorder :/

Not saying you cannot make a thief character a kleptomaniac,,but you need to know at least what the disorder is like and have some respect

So yeah, the raccoon brothers from happy tree friends are not kleptomaniacs even though so many people said that, they steal because they're evil and greedy, and if it's canon then it's a really bad stereotype or representation (flippy also is a really bad representation of a person with ptsd)

Emotions OCD Actally Causes

Madison: Now don’t get me wrong OCD DEFINITELY causes anxiety but more than just anxiety keeps us stuck. I remember vividly near the end of my spiral I was no longer anxious but more frustrated and sad that I couldn’t just “stop”. And lo and behold that was also keeping me stuck. This disorder is sneaky. It will always try to find ways to keep you stuck and without know what it’s using it’s harder to know what’s OCD! Tell me in the comments what emotions you feel besides anxiety!! Follow @obsessivelystrong for more OCD and related content

To all my OCD people going through big changes; me too.

I just learned through my therapist that there’s something called a transition period. I just graduated high school, am going off to college, I have a sibling who moved out, and everything is changing. And while that is all exciting, a transition period is a time of CHANGE. Your OCD clings to that.

In the past month, I have gone from assuming I have heart problems, to breast cancer, to a new obsession which is unwanted intrusive thoughts, and now hearing loss. It is a battle.

I don’t really make mental health posts, but I just put headphones on for the first time in weeks because I finally convinced myself listening to music wasn’t going to give me tinnitus, or make the possibly nonexistent ringing in my ear worse. And the thought of not being able to enjoy music actually makes me so sad, because my first and forever biggest passion is music.

To those who struggle with this disorder too, it is incredibly hard, and not talked about enough. These struggles are just as hard as others, and I hope those who have OCD know they’re not alone.

Like I’ve said before, this will always be a safe space for anybody. No matter your struggle. And as some of you have been transparent with me, I thought maybe a little transparency on my end would be cool as well.

I’m always thinking of you all, and I’m still so excited to get back to writing. I hope everybody is doing well, and taking time for themselves.
