Hey do you know what rumination is?

Rumination is probably the most common type of OCD compulsion, but I rarely see anyone talking about it. I've talked to multiple people diagnosed with OCD who didn't even recognize it as a compulsion.

Basically, if you have OCD you have terrible intrusive thoughts. They can be about anything, but common themes are fear of being a bad person, fear of hurting someone, fear of contamination. etc.

Rumination is when you get stuck in a spiral. Rumination is when you spend hours catastrophizing, overthinking, analyzing, telling yourself it's going to be okay.

I'll say it again:

Rumination is a compulsion.

Rumination is a compulsion, and that means you have to stop doing it.

I did ERP (exposure response prevention) for my OCD with a therapist! For 9 months! And it did help, but the idea didn't really click until I found this website a couple years later.

And Oh My God. It made things make so much more sense, and I was able to pull myself out of an episode even though I wasn't in therapy or on meds at the time.

Genuinely if you have OCD, or even if you suspect you have OCD, I'm begging you to read some of these articles.

Like this was genuinely life changing for me.

Here are some of the ones that were most helpful to me:

PLEASE DON'T WAIT UNTIL MY BABY BECOMES ANOTHER TRAGIC STORY YOU READ TOMORROW.

I keep imagining the moment someone asks me, "Is Qais still alive?!" I am terrified that one day I will not know how to answer. No mother should ever live with that fear hanging over every breath.

[savee-baby]

Every day, I fight two battles at once: comforting my child through pain and searching for a way to afford the medicine, bandages, and treatment he still desperately needs. I feel myself breaking a little more each day.

[savee-baby]

I am pleading with you as a persecuted mother in Gaza, helplessly watching my baby bleed before my eyes with no way to ease his pain. Please donate today and help me save his life before it is too late.

Please donate now Gofundme

[savee-baby]

I am not asking for miracles. I am asking for the chance to keep fighting for my son. Please donate or share Qais's story today. Your kindness could help protect his future and remind us we are not alone.

I've added a print link to this one since it's popular and I thought I could create a slightly altered and bolder colour profile which would look nice printed

when you get crazy enough about The Character you'd think the situations you imagine them in would get more elaborate and lore intensive. but no. imagining my wizard pacing around huffily being slightly peeved at a mild inconvenience. I don’t even know what the inconvenience IS. and it's giving me enough joy to power a city for a month

[crabussy]

you understand this post more than anyone else

i do think we should normalise being like. platonically enamoured with someone. perhaps i love and admire you dearly and there's nothing romantic about it
