#pure ocd

[asexual-amanita]

Intrusive thoughts, by definition, are unwanted, and almost always distressing. They are not

“omg I totally want to dye my hair all of a sudden!”

This is an extremely important distinction to me as someone with severe OCD. I frequently have thoughts and obsessions about murder, assault, and pedophilia. These are not wanted nor are they secret desires.

Unironically I think a lot of the tumblr-specific discourse issues wouldn't be as bad if people familiarized themselves with moral scrupolousity ocd

I'm really happy with how this turned out. I hope you can resonate and come away from this comic with renewed hope. At the very least, I hope you learned something from this. Thank you for reading. Please take care.

oh yeah no don't worry about it everything will be fine AS LONG AS you perform this task you KNOW is irrational absolutely perfectly every time it comes up, and as long as you can keep that up everything will be fine and if you stop trying or if you fail something catastrophic will happen and it will be all your fault and sure you know that it's impossible to keep this up forever but you're technically capable of doing it for now regardless of the incredible toll it's taking on you and as long as that remains the case wouldn't it be morally unconscionable to stop trying?

Desmond Hume may not have OCD but his time on the island sure gave him the full experience of it. and for Round 2, back at it again and this time with the added realism of incredibly disturbing unwanted thoughts that are both traumatizing to witness and seemingly your moral responsibility to resolve!

hint for everyone who has real fucked up sexual/violent OCD obsessions: it feels real for everybody. yes, that real. you might have have unnerving sensations in your groin, in your fingertips, in your lips that make you feel like a set trap. you might understand the emotional logic of why somebody would like and do the things you're thinking about. in your hysteria, you might generate justifications for the act in your mind, unsure of whether you actually mean them. after however long you've been thinking about this one thing, you might feel completely numb to its horror and let your festering imagination play out beside you with no opposition. you might have thought so many bad things that you know you have crossed a line, where now, things forever cannot be undone or unknown. knowing you're horrible, you might not care.

and still, none of it is true.

in a year or three or more, you may know that the roiling mess of your brain isn't what you are, that you do not have that awful secret, and that you are never going back to believing it.

having ocd is so funny bc you’ll be like “oh my god what if i just imagined all my symptoms and i don’t actually have ocd and i’ve been lying to everyone this whole time” and it’s like, dawg. that is The Symptom.
