[obsessively-compulsive]

hey guys! just in case you don't know who i am, i was previously meintheadhd-ocd!

3 professionals agreed that if i were 18 they'd diagnose me w bpd and it's highly likely i have it now, and i have OCD that creates symptoms of ADHD

asks are always open! feel free to post your own experiences, stories, jokes, relatable things, questions, whatever you want about adhd and/or ocd!

*i'm a minor, so nothing nsfw please

*please try to tw your submissions if you think they might have triggering content

*i am not a professional!! just a 17 year old girl who does way too much research and says "but idk im not sure so u should probably look at other sources too" at the end of every post 😔

*i try to keep my original posts pg or pg-13 but i often rb posts with swearing and similar content (no nsfw unless in the context of informative posts that might, for example, be about things like "ways adhd can affect your life" or "themes of ocd" that mention sexual things in that context)

“stop making your disorders your entire personality”

ok so here’s the problem… i have a personality disorder sooo…

[obsessively-compulsive]

bpd is feeling everything while also feeling nothing. i'm overwhelmed just by the thought of existing

[cvsgirl]

i feel so much that i feel nothing

[bpdgotmelike]

having a friend with the same personality disorder as you is literally just this

[obsessively-compulsive]

so, non-native english speaker writing her

i been on psiquiatrist and neuro over years now and i'm doing my exams, investigating my possible adhd

i will receive the results in some weeks, but my gad is attacking and i just don't know how to STAY FUNCTIONAL and go with my life, cause all i can think is that i'm a faker and am doing it all for attention

any tips to don't let the intrusive thoughts put me down until i receive my results????

Honestly, I'd say just know that no matter what the results are, you have valid struggles that can be helped with things like therapy !! As long as you're recieving treatment the diagnosis isn't as important. Also it's v common to get "impostor syndrome" where you feel like you're faking it, and I feel experience it fairly often as well

[obsessively-compulsive]

Bpd for me is just. I feel like I'm crazy. Can someone please talk to me

Anyway shoutout to people who stim in “stereotypical” ways when stressed/in distress. People who rock, people who hit their heads, people who curl up, people who yell, people who repeat words, people who cry, people who growl, whatever it is. You’re not messed up or stereotypical, it’s okay

Genuinely can’t stand the new favouritism towards video format. You want me to spend a whole two minutes listening to someone say out loud a paragraph I could read in 20 seconds?

(This is about tiktok. I hate tiktok.)

[impishtubist]

It’s not just tiktok, it’s everything. I’m tired of clicking on news articles and instead finding it’s a video I have to watch. I’m tired of being sent to a video when I want to learn about a new thing instead of an article I can skim in less than a minute. You mean you want me to sit through an entire video, listening for the one kernel of information that’s buried in there that I’m interested in? Nah, man, life is too short to waste it like that. I don’t know why any of you like videos lmao.

[obsessively-compulsive]

happy birthday to me!!!! i just sobbed and stayed home from school and got extra grounded and now i won't get my gift and it was part of like some bpd episode type thing idk what it's called but i tend to kind of lose touch with reality? so like i threatened some very self destructive things and anyway i sobbed and went to my room !!!!!

Cluster b culture is having a.. Good day.. and thinking you're not.. you're fine, disorder has simply disappeared.. and then the emptiness settles in and you're like.. "Ah. Okay. Right."

[yardsards]

the funniest thing about having adhd is having a SHITLOAD of unrelated hobbies and there's too many to talk about and you just kinda flit between them at random so when you offhand mention one, people are like "what??? you can [hobby]??? i didn't know you did that"

[esrah-rah-rasputin]

Heyyy also shoutout to other autistic people with funky grammar/syntax.

People who integrate whatever slang they find useful/interesting/whatever into their language even if it “doesn’t fit them” (like I read a lot of British lit growing up so I sometimes use UK wording even though I’m not British), people who flip around the order of words so it still makes sense but is just “out of order”, people who repeat bits of phrases from the first part of their sentences without realizing (“Though I don’t think you’d like that dress though”), people who incorporate wording from different time periods, people who adopt accents really easily, whatever, y’all are cool ily

[obsessively-compulsive]

me!!!!!!!! literally me!!!!!!!

[cluster-b-culture-is]

Queer cluster b culture is not even being sure if you do feel romantic attraction....
