Not all people with OCD/OCPD are ready for exposure therapy. Forcing someone who is not ready into exposure therapy is extremely traumatizing.

If your friend/family member has OCD/OCPD and needs the windows closed and you purposely open them in attempt to “help them” you’re forcing a mentally ill person into a breakdown they didn’t need.

If your friend/family member has OCD/OCPD and contamination anxiety and you purposely wipe dirt on them or spill something on them to try and “help them” you are traumatizing someone.

You are not a liscened psychologist, you cannot practice exposure therapy because you don’t know how to. All you’re gonna do is traumatize them and ruin your relationship!

shoutout to people with ocd who:

-have intense delusions and paranoia -hallucinate little things -have super graphic or ugly intrusive thoughts that make them feel guilty -wash their hands so much that they bleed -spend hours fixating on tiny little things they did wrong -have involuntary tics and twitches related to obsessions and compulsions -have to avoid certain topics to not have anxiety attacks -can’t sleep because of their symptoms -have dreams about their biggest fears or worst intrusive thoughts

trust me, you aren’t alone in these. you are strong. feel free to add on to the list

somebody: "why do you talk about yourself and your brain as though they're separate entities?"

me, *shoving my three mental illnesses and assorted problems in a nearby cupboard*: "no particular reason I guess, just a quirk of mine"

Having multiple mental illnesses be like..

Me: I have 5 mental disorders Person: I believe you n support you Narrator: the person did not believe them and definitely did not support them

therapist: have u considered doing something about it

me: what the fuck. what the Fuck is that. what the fucking fuck

No one thinks I’m serious when I tell them I have memory problems at my age, like I’m not joking, I’m being completely honest when I say I can’t remember what happened yesterday.

does anxiety count as cardio

[schizobling]

I’m almost laughing at my deteriorating mental health at this point because it’s just so ridiculous that this many symptoms are acting up at once

[lithiumloser]

my life is a game of “is this a symptom or does everyone experience this?”
