OCD culture is ruminating over every bad thing you've done and desperately wanting to beg for forgiveness.
.
POCD culture is sometimes wanting to tell your mom about having OCD, but deciding not to because she might not even believe you (or worse, she’ll think you’re dangerous for your intrusive thoughts.)
.
POCD culture is being very amused by the fact that your therapist told you that you don’t have OCD after you spent hours taking OCD quizzes trying to determine it— and one session later you started confessing random groinal responses you had ten years ago and attraction to a kid 1 year younger than you to your therapist to convince yourself that you’re a pedophile.

Side effects of having OCD - you can't watch horror movies because you brain will use scenes from them to make you suffer
(yeah 😭)
(CW: Obsessions/grooming mention)
OCD culture is interacting with someone younger than you online and being terrified of "accidentally grooming them"

ocd culture is deleting and restarting entire projects in the middle of the process because they don't feel "correct" enough and then continuing them the exact same way
