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:

Referring to someone as your “partner” sounds as if you are deliberately obscuring their gender and may subtly out you. “My ex”, however, is entirely unobtrusively gender-neutral. #breakupallrelationships

Thinking about how much the revival of mainstream public gutter racism in North America relied on the fact that, even back when "racism is bad" was unassailable Common Sense, there was still an exception made for Muslims. You could be bigoted against them and still be welcome in elite circles.

"Oh but Muslims aren't a race!" Yeah, but you're eliding an entire religion with it's most fundamentalist version.

And then you're eliding all Arabs and Iranians and Pakistanis and such with being "Muslim"

And then you're eliding everyone who looks kind of brown with being "Arab" (remember that this was the line of attack against Obama, and was how Trump became a cult figure on the US right)

And then they just keep bootstrapping this up to fascism and genocide because, for my entire life as a politically aware individual, even when we "all" agreed that racism was bad, there were exceptions.

[quasi-normalcy]

Anyway the lesson here is that if you talk about universal human rights and you make an exception for anyone (say, for example, a captive population in the Middle East who should be expected to endure permanent military occupation because "they're all a bunch of bloodthirsty Jihadists who don't value human life"), you make an exception for everyone, including yourself.

"I really tried to be, you know, not a cliche of a world leading woman that we all see, that you have to be harder than the others and tougher, and then you have to look a certain way. There are so many wrong things going on thinking about these women. So that was the first thing. And I think she really believes that the world is worth saving and that we can actually do it if we make an effort." - Sandra Hüller

we're all obsessed with material conditions until a trans guy exists and then what really matters is his male soul and the body it might hypothetically have in any number of situations that are not reality and have no bearing on it. "if trans men were cis they'd be cis men" "if trans men were cis they'd be cis women" it literally does not matter because we're not fucking cis
