I'm waiting for a reply from a psychologist (to schedule a first appointment and understand if I will ever be able to go on hrt) since basically last Friday and I'm getting hella anxious. Someone put me out of my misery

[titan-god-helios]

the autistic urge to perfectly categorise every single aspect of my identity is back and im now researching ocd at midnight and wondering if im faking it to be quirky tm or if this is a real and valid thing i might be experiencing (from what ive looked at so far it's likely that i have it but i feel like it just looks as if im diagnosis shopping from the outside, especially because ive already self dxxed with autism and adhd albeit with quite literally months of research so i know theyre valid diagnoses but imposter syndrome and hhhhhhh) that being said, if y'all have any resources and good research things//articles etc PLEASEEE reblog with em or link in the comments tyty

That moment when your therapist introduces a new treatment modality you’re gonna try with an acronym that makes it sound like you’ll be getting an electric shock through the head that is going to fix your entire brain,

but then you find out you’re literally just gonna be feeling the feelings and remembering the remembories that you spend every day trying to NOT feel or remember

I wish I didn't overthink. I wish I didn't feel everything at 200% with very little reprieve because my OCD brain likes to hold on to things.

I am so bloody tired.

i don’t think people will ever realise how serious, dehabilitating, draining ocd is.

it’s not all about lining things up and washing your hands

it’s about the convincing yourself you’re something awful.

compulsions that are time consuming and draining.

it’s the constant worry you’ve done or said something to offend someone.

it’s the co morbid disorders like trichotillomania, misophonia and more just draining you more.

it’s the constant “just rights”.

it’s the permanent engraved intrusive thoughts that are constantly replaying.

it’s the constant seeking reassurance.

it’s about living in fear because you’re so scared you’ll act out on an intrusive thought.

it’s the constant dread and anxiety.

so so many more.

why, what and how would you want this disorder

why are you romanticising this
