it’s kinda incredible that there was a span of time where I was saying things like “yeah despite being raised non-religiously and not believing in god I nonetheless have what I can only describe as catholic guilt so severe I have to mentally flagellate myself for it” while wholeheartedly believing there was no way I could have ocd cause I didn’t really have symptoms of it. boy are you stupid.
#Like when younger I figured it was just regular anxiety#And now I’m diagnosed.#But in between there was the area of “hmm. This is something horrible happening to me. However can’t be ocd I must actually be evil/cursed”#Incredible stuff.#Circles and spirals#Oh yeah and like. Some of my symptoms totally could be labelled as just anxiety instead. Doesn’t mean I have ocd necessarily.#It’s the frequency+ intensity+ rationale + patterns of them that makes it be ocd.#Dunno why I’m going on a soapbox in the tags here.
