Just a blog about my experience with #actual OCD. Feel free to ask me questions, or talk about your own experiences in the interest of better educating people on #actual OCD. ^_^ Now featuring depressive symptoms.

Why is it?? That I can go through the whole day feeling fine and dandy but the second I lay down for bed impending doom settles on me?

I don’t think people realise how hard it is to re-discover the person you were before depression or even try to remember your own personality

[threedollarwine]

and if you’ve had depression since early childhood you don’t even know if you have your own personality you didn’t have time to be a person before depression and it’s scary having no idea who you are

me: I’m doing pretty well, I feel pretty good me ten minutes later: not once in my life have I ever been ok

It’s worth it.

Cause one day, you’ll be in your fluffy bunny pjs being super cute and comfy, watching netflix, and eating pretzls.

Looks at the clock. It’s five.

I’m sorry, professor, I’d go to class but I’m scheduled to cry in *checks watch* about ten minutes.

when will my motivation return from war

[flowerais-deactivated20211031]

things you will experience if you keep doing your best

actually looking forward to things and having enough energy to do everything you want to do 

the fresh feeling after cleaning everything and throwing away things that were piling up since forever, including mentally

realising that you haven’t thought about someone for three days straight when you’ve been sad about them for a long time

making a new friend who genuinely likes talking to you after feeling like you don’t belong anywhere or you’re better off alone

making more time for people that really matter to you and actually love you unconditionally instead of endlessly wondering why some people left you or didn’t reciprocate

not placing your entire sense of worth on someone else because you feel happy and whole by yourself 

an outward change in appearance, almost a kind of glow because you’re radiating warmth and strength from inside

good grades, making huge improvements and achieving whatever goals you have in mind

feeling calmer and not relying on external validation because you see your own worth, trust yourself fully and can accept imperfection, laugh at your own embarrassing moments, encourage yourself when you’re down and quickly forgive your own mistakes 

gaining enough respect for yourself to treat yourself gently and not tolerating anyone who treats you badly

realising that you feel lighter inside and nothing is as much as a chore as it used to be

feeling yourself become less unaffected by small things that used to ruin your day

realising that you can make any changes in your life if you stopped discouraging yourself so much

realising you don’t need many superficial distractions anymore because you actually feel okay

[abocd]

It's gonna be ok. I'm going to be ok.

why do neurotypicals™ start flinging the term “psychopath” at the slightest indication of neurodivergence, however harmless, like a chimp flinging poo (without even knowing what the word means) ???

btw, this is due to a delay in auditory processing, and can be caused by adhd

[abocd]

Lol I do this all the fucking time. Drives my mom insane.

[cherryliqor-deactivated20180108]

“skip dinner and become thinner” more like “skip dinner and you have an eating disorder please get help”

[cherryliqor-deactivated20180108]

“a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips” more like “a moment on the lips is okay to have, please take care of yourself in this lifetime”

[cherryliqor-deactivated20180108]

“every time you eat you delay becoming skinnier” more like “every time you eat you give your body the nutrients it needs in order to survive, please keep surviving”

[cherryliqor-deactivated20180108]

“you’ll be able to wear whatever you want when you get to your ugw” more like “you’ll be able to wear whatever you want now because fashion =/= weight”

[ossifiedocelot]

“Don’t reward yourself with food your not a dog” more like treat yourself because you’re amazing and deserve happiness

[pixelshearts]

This is actually really helpful thanks

[aninactivebloggfgfgf]

I love this post for how it politely demolishes destructive pro ana/mia mantras i love it

[marzipanandminutiae]

“if you can pinch an inch” congrats you have skin and flesh like all humans

[the-incedible-sulk]

I… I… thanks… for sharing this cause I needed a lot.. hopefully anyone who follows me and needs can benefit from it too…

[jynxlovesluck]

I really wish this was a thing I saw a few years ago, but I’m glad it’s circulation is moving strong. Just like you my wonderful followers <3<3<3 be brave darlings, I believe in you

[biscuitfoot-deactivated20190628]

Take care of yourself, guys. Eating is good for you, your body needs it or it will shut down. If you feel like you need to get healthier or lose weight, there’s tons of ways you can do that, that doesn’t put your body in danger. NEVER STARVE YOURSELF
