#morality ocd

[ablednt]

I will say whilst I'm glad morality OCD is getting talked about a lot more lately I'm dreading the eventual "autistic sense of justice" treatment it's inevitably going to get. The morals in morality don't have to be and often aren't correct and even when they are having it doesn't make you more likely to actually act on those morals.

The idea you can obsess compulse yourself into being a good person is why your brain is tormenting you like this in the first place. Do not try and make your mental illness righteous do not treat it like good person who's too nicies disease or infantilize people over it.

Having moral OCD and making an actual genuine mistake, or reflecting back on your actions and having actual legitimate regrets, is like handing yourself a loaded gun and convincing yourself you’re a bad person if you don’t pull the trigger.

"de-stigmatize mental illness!" very cool now can you please extend like one or two ounces of support towards people who have intrusive thoughts related to sexual violence.

So like did anyone else develop morality OCD from tumblr/tiktok/twitter/specific areas of social media prone to producing echo chambers

Cuz I’m so certain I’m not the only one still suffering from the compulsion to overanalyze everything I see and everything I say and do to ensure it is “morally perfect” otherwise my chest gets tight and I can’t shake the feeling that somebody is watching and waiting to “cancel” me
