Hallo Hallo!!

m Moose! He/They/Sprout pronouns please

m a 22 yr old trying my best with a body that only half works most of the time and thanks to that I tend to be very very sleepy/brainfoggy a lot of the time

I make art sometimes, that’ll be at: @sleepy-cervidae

I like many things and will reblog about them as I see fit. These things in no particular order are: pokemon, bugs, nature, robots, Star Trek, Toronto Maple Leafs, The Adventure Zone, Anime (too many to list reasonably), Disability Justice, and whatever else strikes my fancy at the moment.

Best things a female character can be are angry, violent and covered with blood.

Art fight attacks can be a form of psychological warfare if you have a wretched soul

its probably a normal sign for the economy that all of my adulthood fantasies are like "imagine having your own kitchen living room and bathroom to decorate" "what if i could get on a train" "maybe one day i could purchase a sturdy pair of shoes" "i should save and invest in a single bicycle"

btw it's so fucking stupid you can be anxious physically in your body even after you've decided mentally you don't care. I'm supposed to be in charge here

you should get a second evening for reading fan fiction. And you should get an extra day in the week to do arts and crafts.

Hey do you know what rumination is?

Rumination is probably the most common type of OCD compulsion, but I rarely see anyone talking about it. I've talked to multiple people diagnosed with OCD who didn't even recognize it as a compulsion.

Basically, if you have OCD you have terrible intrusive thoughts. They can be about anything, but common themes are fear of being a bad person, fear of hurting someone, fear of contamination. etc.

Rumination is when you get stuck in a spiral. Rumination is when you spend hours catastrophizing, overthinking, analyzing, telling yourself it's going to be okay.

I'll say it again:

Rumination is a compulsion.

Rumination is a compulsion, and that means you have to stop doing it.

I did ERP (exposure response prevention) for my OCD with a therapist! For 9 months! And it did help, but the idea didn't really click until I found this website a couple years later.

And Oh My God. It made things make so much more sense, and I was able to pull myself out of an episode even though I wasn't in therapy or on meds at the time.

Genuinely if you have OCD, or even if you suspect you have OCD, I'm begging you to read some of these articles.

Like this was genuinely life changing for me.

Here are some of the ones that were most helpful to me:
