thinking very hard about Mr. R.M. Renfield on this day (dracula daily folks who don't want spoilers, stop reading here!)

do you ever think about how Renfield was able to pluck the Count from thin air, as mist, and hold him so tightly that he was forced to take physical form to get free again and that Renfield was able to do so simply because he believed that he could, wanted to badly enough and what if October wasn't the first time because I think about that... Just A Little Bit

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:

Defining Rumination

How to Stop Ruminating

ERP Exercises for Compulsive Rumination

What to Do When You're Triggered

Just want to add that if you're on the spectrum, you may also experience Autistic Rumination, which is distinct from the obsessive variety, despite the two having some overlapping characteristics!

so embarrassing to watch yourself become obsessed with a character that feels tailor made for you specifically to become obsessed with. feels like i fell into a trap made just for me. like damn they got me. those are all the things i like and go crazy for

can we please talk about how basil got arrested for being in a play about lesbians and was pissed off enough about it that he went on to write about it in length in his memoirs almost 40 years later?? i really appreciate that he didn't just pretend that it didn't happen, but continued to bring up the play in later years

(if you've never read the captive, i really recommend it! it's not particularly shocking by our standards ofc, but the ending is quite interesting -- not meant to be a happy ending but it can be read as such!)

YES!

Basil, and his costars, were arrested on February 9th 1927 (nearly 100 years ago!) and were released on bail. Two other plays were also closed, it was a bid by a local politician to try and make point of closing down 'immoral' plays.

Rathbone felt that the closing of the play was a "hideous betrayal, this most infamous example of the imposition of political censorship on a democratic society ever known in the history of responsible creative theater; this cold-blooded unscrupulous sabotage of an important contemporary work of art; this cheap political expedient to gain votes by humiliating and despoiling the right of public opinion to express itself and act upon its considered judgment as respected and respectable citizens" (In and Out of Character, p. 105).

—Variety, February 16, 1927, p. 39 For anyone that wants to read more about it, I suggest checking it out here Here are some photos from the play:
