I recently decided to try digital art for the first time ever. I like to hand draw my OCD because journaling gets too dark. Anyway here are some OCD self portraits.

One of my everyday ocd intrusive thought themes is around genitalia. The amount of things my brain associates with genitalia is insane. Like the gear shift in my car, I cannot keep my hand on that because its a dick.

Anyway todays one was that brains have testies in them. I am a youth worker and was making a brain map for a client to help them understand trauma response. I almost couldn’t give it to them because i convinced myself that i was giving them a picture of secret testies and that someone makes me a creep.

Anyway please enjoy brain testies

Unpopular Opinion (maybe, idk)

Okay, i understand the value in recieving a diagnosis, it can be extremely fuxking validating. But on the other hand it can be very hard to seperate yourself from a diagnosis.

But for what reason would people want to fake/self dx (controversal topic, no hate towards self diagnosis as a first step to getting help, hate towards those who self dx like its a fashion Statement) having a mental/physical illness? Is it for clout? Is it for attention.

Because if you really want my crippling disorders i will gladly give them to you. No backsies.

PSA: Those ‘reblog this or your “important person” will die/ something bad will happen’ posts are harmful to those with OCD.
