It’s all fun and games till you don’t inherit the cleaning ocd from the fem side of your family but the sexual ocd.

To trans and queer/lgbt people with POCD

I am sorry if it feels like the entire world seems to be cutting into you specifically hard. I am sorry if you are feeling like the world is repeating your own worst nightmares. I am sorry if you are afraid of yourself at a time when you just want to exist.  

I am not going to give reassurance because that does not help people like us. But I am sorry that it hurts.

A post that will hopefully grant comfort for my fellow OCDer’s (because I need to tell myself this too).

It’s ok if it’s your OCD is debilitating today. It’s also ok if you haven’t been suffering from it for a while. It’s ok if you have a theme that has come back after you started recovering—recovery is not linear, some people might deal with these ups and downs for their whole lives. It’s gonna be alright. OCD is a bitch and a liar.

But your suffering is real. I love you. You’re going to be ok.

OCD REMINDER

I see a lot of people feel isolated, or like they're an exception to the 'OCD rules'. Reminder that, all these different subsets of OCD aren't different types of OCD. Like, HOCD (Homosexual OCD) is not a different diagnosis, it's just OCD. Real Event OCD? That's just a nickname; still just OCD! In reality, all these different 'types' are really just types of intrusive thoughts/obsessions. You're valid no matter what your 'type' is, and the treatment is always the same. CBT, ERP and SSRIs.

Side note: yes, you there with POCD, Real Event OCD or any identity manipulating obsessions, you still deserve to get better. Your OCD isn't special. It will tell you it is, but it's not. It's not unique, just a whiny little glitch in your mind.
