Some days being a person with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder can actually come in handy... like the days you’re doing a Big Spring Clean. Most people wouldn’t even think of dusting the skirting board under the bed, never mind get a deep sense of satisfaction from doing so! #ocdwarrior #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #atidyhomeisahappyhome #atidyhomeisatidymind #sometimesocdpaysoff #ocdqueen #yourenotdoingitright #ihavetodoit #ocdhumor #gottalaugh

@clockworkotter replied to your post “My dad and I both have this auditory thing that we’ve tried explaining...”

I call it my "auditory dyslexia" because for whatever reason phrasing it that way is easier for people who don't experience it to understand

Good description.

@ocd-queen replied to your post “Your auditory post sounds (haha, pun!) exactly like what I have....”

I have Sensory Processing Disorder & this is one of the many frustrations I have to deal with because of it. I constantly need people to carefully repeat what they say to me several times, I always need subtitles when watching tv/movies because it feels like the words get mumbled together or like I can't concentrate on what is being said. (Like they're speaking an entirely different language that I don't understand) remembering information that has been given verbally is impossible & confusing.

Strangely I have only really needed subtitles with like... Brokeback Mountain because I couldn’t understand Heath Ledger lol.

And omfg verbal information, ugh. I cannot remember directions to places if given verbally, or like, make mental task lists. I rely heavily on GPS and on list apps otherwise I will get lost and get nothing done. That information doesn’t go anywhere in my head, it just gets like. Smooshed and jumbled and chopped and pooped out, most of the time.

Im too scared of snapchat i have no idea how it wors weeeh

It’s fun! You just like, take snaps or videos of stuff and it has fun filters and effects. You can send pics privately or add to your “story.” The main thing is that things posted to your story are only available for 24 hours. So you’re not making like, a post on instagram that’ll always be there. It goes up in like a reel of your day. I have so much fun watching other people’s stories. :D Showing what you’re up to or cool things you saw or just being silly, whatever.

It’s actually the most common type of arthritis in the US. (It’s just not as well known as say, Rheumatoid for example) My doctors were trying to figure out whether I had fibromyalgia or AS, it turned out it was the spinal arthritis. But you can suffer from both.

I’ll see what my chiropractor thinks too, because honestly from the beginning he has suspected that this is more than just fibro and he has been SO FRUSTRATED by how my doctors have barely even tried this entire time. I see him in a few days and I’ll update him on everything that happened last week. He literally has to do so much work on my upper spine each time, like I have to just ragdoll and let him pull and pull because my vertebrae are compressing together and that is the spot where my pain is the worst. It radiates out and hurts my arms and hands so bad that I pretty much lose all productivity. Like, texting on my phone becomes painful, like each letter has a sharp tack on it.

If I could manage this ONE specific symptom, then all my others would be easier to deal with. Friday and Saturday my pain was just so easy that I really got to feel my other symptoms more clearly, the fatigue especially. But even then, because I wasn’t in excruciating fire hot pain, I was able to work on stuff all day and then stay up playing video games without really taking breaks. When normally like I’ve said, when it’s that bad even just 20 minutes at my desk is enough to make me woozy from pain.

Right now my pain is kinda backish, hard to say, I’m about to take something for it and I ran out of my delicious tumeric juice blend from that awesome place (I started editing my video for it today, hopefully I can get it up this weekend!) which I also believe was helping the pain. But it’s just like this always, caught in the swirl, tomorrow is acupuncture, then chiro again, I just kinda have to ride whatever waves my body is doing and do my best. Trying to take lots of time during meditation to just say THANK YOU to my body for doing all it can even when it feels this bad, like damn. I’m just the driver, yes I have to feel all this pain too, but our bodies works on their own doing all this complex stuff. I can’t imagine how that must feel because I DO feel how it feels for a body to push itself like that.

Everyone, just take a moment to hug yourself and say, “Body, you’re doing your best. Thank you.”

@ocd-queen replied to your post:Doc called, updates on last week’s tests[[MOR]...

Has your rheumatologist ever thought of looking into Ankylosing Spondylitis? It’s a type of arthritis/autoimmune disease that affects your spine & major joints. When they did my blood work & x-rays, I had a severe vitamin D deficiency, swelling around my lower spine, & two of my SI joints had started to fuse. (Sorry if you’ve already looked into this, it just sounds very similar to me & I just wanted to make sure) Gastrointestinal issues such as IBS or an IBD are also common amongst sufferers.

Ohh, no. I’ll be sure to bring this up at my next appointment. Thank you for the info.

ocd-queen replied to your post: This guy is SJ-swiveling SO HARD at me...

Oh man, I just saw the post with the picture attached to it. That’s messed up on so many levels I don’t even know how I’d respond. I’m sorry you’re having to deal with those kinds of people right now.

Yeah. I shot a commercial with this guy last year and... fff... He was a bit intensely religious, but seemed open minded and tolerant, so this is so weird for me to see.
