catch 22 and ocd (from someone who has ocd)

so so many hypochondriacs in that book. Everyone is afraid of disease. If at least Doc Daneeka doesn’t have obsessive compulsive disorder then I’ll eat my hat.

what’s especially interesting is that ocd can occur naturally or be caused by trauma. Trauma like everyone in that book has.

listen I swear I’m onto something ok

I'm glad people seem to be liking my Skid and Pump OCD Analysis post and think it's pretty detailed! ^-^ I was a bit worried it wasn't that good, mostly because it was actually meant to be LONGER but my WiFi has been a bit in and out due to weather where I'm at, and I've had to split it into two posts so Tumblr would save it lol. The second post is more like "things that are not specific to OCD but interact with it or are somewhat related", because I thought it'd make more sense to split it that way.

Also, I'm currently making a post for Carmen and Roy OCD Headcanons in between writing bursts for my second Skid and Pump post, to give my brain a refresher from the two spooky creatures. So I guess if you're fans of them, you can look out for that post!

jamie tartt has ocd but in a very specific way that only makes sense in my head and would be incomprehensible if i tried to explain it. i’m right though just trust me

ive been laboring for ages trying to work out what it is that peter nureyev jon sims and jedidiah martin have in common that makes me like . Group Them together in my head . like they have similar arcs with their love interests kinda but like theres also a VIBE to them that they share a very specific one and i have come to the conclusoin that its that all three of them are compuslive . a little obsessive too . got a disorder perhaps idk im not a doctor

more cam ocd headcanons bc it's been a rough 24 hours

cam's ocd makes her go nonverbal at times due to avoidance compulsions- when she's doing really bad, all words feel Wrong and it prevents her from speaking (as well as writing) . this is,,, very stressful and quite scary :-(( [this is smth i experience and . this is a "projecting to cope" moment bc idk ANYONE ELSE who has this]

relationships are . hard . with ocd . she's constantly questioning "do i have terrible thoughts about my friends? am i really attracted to my partner? do i Deserve [x good relationship]" which can get . really exhausting . there are times where she just needs to spend a few days alone Coping because being around people just exacerbates her guilt

speaking of Coping . her mental health days look like: hiding underneath her extremely heavy weighted blanket, ordering fancy coffee/foods because they make her feel good, and SLEEPING for once in her life

her ocd can make sleep quite difficult because of anxiety/intrusive thoughts- she has an extensive nighttime routine which makes it easier to fall asleep at night though (with calming sensory aspects- scents, sensations, and sounds . + our lord and saviour melatonin) . arastoo learns her nighttime routine quite quickly and simply just sits there while she does it because . it makes him happy to see her take care of herself . <3

sometimes when people find out about her ocd they make jokes abt how germy her job is and it makes her SO MAD because her ocd is . entirely unrelated to germs or dirt in general . in fact she is a wildly messy person who is not concerned in the least about cleaning . so the misconception drives her MAD
