Remember, everyone has quirks, superstitions, habits, routines, etc. It doesn’t mean you have OCD. It is when these rituals and habits must be done and interfere with your daily life, relationships, and cause distress when they cannot be performed. 

OCD comes in all shapes and sizes, in all sorts of intensities. It can vary just as much as the people who have it vary from each other! 

Self diagnosis is important because not everyone can afford and/or has the insurance to see a doctor or therapist! It might not be an option for some people for many reasons. That’s okay! In the meantime, if you think you have OCD, educate yourself on your potential disorder. Learning more about it is the most crucial step in keeping it in check.  However, it is advised that if you believe you have OCD, you see a medical professional as soon as you are able, as it can help alleviate your suffering.

I’m not a medical expert, I’m just a young adult with OCD that manifested itself many years ago and I am currently being treated for it!

dude. I hate reblog bait so much. Like, I’m sure some other people would ignore it, but having ocd-symptoms and seeing reblog bait is genuinely horrid. I can’t leave it, and I can’t reblog once, it has to be 3, 7, or a multiple of 5, and until it feels right. I hate it.

Disclaimer: nothing good or bad will happen if you repost, like or comment. nothing good or bad will happen if you don’t repost, like, or comment. Stay safe friends.

hey. hot take but making posts that say ‘reblog if you don’t hate this minority 🥺’ are performative and ableist.

posts like these can trigger people with OCD, who might then spiral about how if they don’t reblog this, they must hate that minority. and they must be bigoted and terrible. so they’ll probably reblog out of guilt and obligation.

but here’s the thing. posts like that are meaningless, performative, and shallow. the people who make them are literally just doing the easiest possible form of ‘allyship’ in order to feel all high and mighty and holier than thou, and feeling like they’re morally above people who don’t reblog it. it’s literally meaningless, performative manipulation disguised as ‘activism’.

if you don’t reblog a post like that, it doesn’t make you a bad person. it doesn’t mean you hate that minority. posts like that aren’t real activism.

in fact i’d say that they’re the opposite of activism. people who make those posts are literally guilt tripping and taking advantage of an already mentally/emotionally vulnerable group of people, (people with OCD) and it’s ableist as fuck. reblogging a post that says ‘REBLOG OR ELSE YOU THINK MINORITIES DESERVE DEATH’ means NOTHING.

anyways. people with OCD, i love you, and remember that you’re not obligated to reblog attention seeking posts like that. you’re a great person and i hope you’re having a great day.
