A frank discussion on the effects of working with mental health troubles.
The last time I worked was nine years ago, before my son was born. I have struggled with Obsessive compulsive disorder since I was fifteen years old. Work in any capacity was a struggle, the constant fear of contamination from the children I worked with and the environment I was in was not suitable. Had I known myself better, I would have pursued a different career. Now at thirty-four years old…

can ppl PLS stop treating intrusive thoughts as either as like "ooh i wanna eat this leaf im quirky 🤪" or "since u had this thought it means ur dangerous"/demonizing them??? this was the type of shit that made it so hard for me to open up about my OCD and the intrusive thoughts that came with it. it took me around 8-9 years to say anything, firstly bc i didn't kno what was happening to me (i first had symptoms around 9 years old), but then when i was old enough to kno that what i was feeling wasn't normal, i didn't say anything for a long time bc i was afraid i was a horrible person, that the thoughts were true, and that everyone felt this way and i was just "sensitive" or bad at dealing with it.
the fact that it has become a buzzword/term on the internet for things that r perceived as "cool" or "fun" by those who do not suffer with ocd or other things that cause intrusive thoughts while simultaneously being demonized by these same ppl when a person w a mental illness talks abt what they actually are is so wild to me.
and also, very important thing for fellow ocd-sufferers and other mentally ill ppl: intrusive thoughts DO NOT reflect your true feelings. despite the fact that there is a general (and extremely harmful, imo) belief by many that your thoughts define you, this is not true. this really made my ocd worse, because i thought for sure that since i was having horrible thoughts, i was a bad person. intrusive thoughts are ego-dystonic; in other words they DO NOT REFLECT WHO WE TRULY ARE! i need to remind myself of this each and every day.

A friendly reminder not to take offense to when people don’t text you back. Individuals with mental health conditions can struggle daily with the simplest of tasks like brushing their teeth or washing their hair. They feel so defeated that they are worried to put you in a negative headspace so they don’t want to reply. Simple things become overwhelming. Don’t give up on your friends and loved ones for not replying and instead keep lifting them up and sending encouraging reminders.

Y'all for folks with anxiety and intrusive toughts like me, i have a theory:
Do you ever feel like your brain will literally make up excuses to be anxious?, like looks for reasons, and if it can't find it, it will make up one
I feel like our brains need that anxiety, like it needs to be in constant stimulation, and if it cannot find one in life it will make its own, and the anxiety itself is the stimulation the brain craves.
