My entire existence feels like that one meme of "But why?" I don't know why I lie so much about literally everything but I also just. Do Not Care. It's like the universe gave me one (1) whole emotion and guilt/remorse is not one of them.

Guilt is a feeling after compulsive actions, thoughts or situation. It is all the what-ifs that keep crawling through your spine until all that is left is the sadness or remorse about things that you could’ve done but didn’t do. It is the worst feeling that drowns you with its intensity. Working on your id to satisfy your needs may result in guilt. You may ask what id is? It is the act of doing things according to one’s own will that may or may not bound to societal norms. They are basically the impulsive thoughts one has like breaking something or doing something unreasonable. People call id selfish but I think id is the suppressed want of a person that is not fulfilled due to the adherence of societal norms and expectations. I sometimes wonder that what will happen if there is a day when one can do whatever they want without any limitations. Would it create a disaster? Maybe, maybe not. I don’t what would it result to but i do know that it will be the day when the suppressed id will be let free.

Greetings bugs and worms!

This comic is a little different than what I usually do but I worked real hard on it—Maybe I'll make more infographic stuff in the future this ended up being fun. Hope you learned something new :)

If you are still curious and want to learn more about OCD, you can visit the International OCD Foundation's website. I also recommend this amazing TED ED video "Starving The Monster", which was my first introduction to the disorder and this video by John Green about his own experience with OCD.

The IOCDF's website can also help you find support groups, therapy, and has lots of online guides and resources as well if you or a loved one is struggling with the disorder. It is very comprehensive!

Reblog to teach your followers about OCD

(But also not reblogging doesn't make you evil, silly goose)

my range of emotions go from “it’s scary how much i feel” to “it’s scary how much i don’t feel”

When i have nothing to hyperfixate on

When i finally have a hyperfixation but now i gotta read and know everything to ever exist in this world and beyond about it and i can't handle this pressure

Being on the internet with OCD is like “I want to post a picture of my outfit because I look bomb but what if my full address and National Insurance number is written in the reflection of this random public bathroom mirror and I didn’t notice”

[ocd--culture--is]

ocd+autistic culture is being in public and having a constant dialogue "im being normal? i think i look normal, do i look normal? im walking right? is my face too serious? i would look worse if i smiled? omg that person is going to think im following them, omg they're going to think im a predator. please please please dont look back i swear im not weird-"

[obsessive-compulsive-culture-is]

obsessive/compulsive culture is overthinking, then realizing you’re overthinking and overthinking your overthinking, then realizing you’re overthinking your overthinking and overthinking your overthinking of overthinking, and then-

‘letting my intrusive thoughts win’

shut the fuck up.

you’re referring to impulsive thoughts, intrusive thoughts are undesirable and often horrific for the person experiencing them. you dying your hair randomly is not an intrusive thought.

if i let my intrusive thoughts dictate my actions, id be in jail for a long fucking time.

It’s not really a confession but sort of I guess? More like a habit I have gotten to sort of help with this. Which is I have started to when I type, and I notice I’m typing a lie, to just put in parentheses next to it the word “lie” with the truth or the closest version of it next to it, sometimes I don’t really put anything next to it cause I can’t find the words to type the truth, so I just leave a nice little “(lie)” next to the text I do.

I haven’t found a way to, you know, use that in actual conversations yet, wether verbal or written, but it has helped with deconstructing lying to myself in my diary and in general when I’m alone. Or well, more like it makes me realize when I lie, and I hope it sort of stops me from lying at all when it’s just me alone

ocd is literally just having a guy in your head that torments you with false prophecies & visions

Forgive yourself for the way you behaved when you were in pain. You didn't mean to drag your loved ones down with you. You were only thrashing and flailing and trying to not to drown. They didn't leave because you were a bad person. They left because they couldn't save you and had to save themselves. It's not an indictment of either your worth or their love. You didn't ask too much, they just couldn't be what you needed and had to make space for someone who could.

In another life, where you had had the help you deserved, where you had had the space to breathe, where something had been different, it wouldn't have happened. Sometimes, it's all just a consequence of circumstances outside of our control. None of you deserved any of this, and you all get to hurt and grieve and be angry that it all fell out this way. But don't be ashamed that the pain got the best of you. You didn't fall short any more than they did. You just became overwhelmed.
