#diagnosed OCD

[ocd--culture-is]

diagnosed OCD culture is people not understanding how hard it is to NOT do a compulsion.

"lmao I let the intrusive thoughts win, I'm so delulu" I'm begging you to have a single ounce of understanding and common sense before you say things like this.

Tired of random tiktok people in comment sections saying they "let the intrusive thoughts win" when they mean impulsive thoughts, instead. There is a huge difference.

And stop using the term delusional unless you actually fucking are. It's gross.

Sincerely, someone who is having a very bad time with ocd and delusions today.

Had a meltdown last night trying to tell my mom I think I'm autistic. She immediately shut me down and said it's impossible.. that she "knows" I'm not... I currently have a knot on my head from hitting myself there before I could calm myself.. I felt angry at first, then stupid, and then guilty for the entire thing. I should have known better than to mention it. It's so painful. All I ask for is an open ear, and it seems that is too much for the people I have been taught to rely on.

curious to know abt the correlation between neurodiverse folks and tattoos. bc i as an audhder would simply Never Get A Tattoo because i hate the idea of something being on my body permanently.

(this is also why i want to go on t and have the ftm surgeries but also don't want to anything permanent bc What If I Regret It)

so like nd people. what's y'all's opinions on tattoos.

I'm upset with tiktok. Particularly the mental health aspect of tiktok. It's so inaccurate most of the time but people act like it's not. You shouldn't take mental advice from tiktok. Tiktok is partially responsible for setting back the public's perception of OCD, we were gaining traction in helping people understand that intrusive thoughts don't make us, killers, creeps, or dangerous.

Now we've got tiktok people telling everyone that intrusive thoughts are about wanting to eat too much candy, or poke a Llama in the face because it's so cute. No those are just thoughts, normal thoughts, impulsive thoughts.

They are likely not ego dystonic. They likely do not clash with your sense of self, you most likely do not have a negative or anxious reaction to these thoughts. Intrusive thoughts are unwanted, scary, distressing thoughts that pop into your mind randomly and you don't want them.

People with ocd can't control their thoughts, but now we have people calling OCD people and people with other conditions monsters because they have real intrusive thoughts that follow a common theme, hurting others, doing something bad or perverted. Or something you don't want to do, it can even be thoughts about joining another religion or secretly being a sexuality and not knowing it.

Intrusive thoughts can be anything, but they are always unpleasant and unwanted, they are considered to be ego dystonic meaning they do not go along with a person's sense of self.

When I was younger I would have thoughts about pushing people into the street and them getting run over by cars, I hated those thoughts. I didn't want them, those were intrusive thoughts. Tiktok has harmed OCD acceptance and imagine what it's going to do to Autism, which I also have, if people keep taking advice from tiktok. Please don't take tiktok advice

the thing about mental disorders is after you're diagnosed with more than 2 people stop taking you seriously

You know when everything was going well, your like 99% recovered and have your mental illnesses under control. You even know what you'll do in the future and you're excited, ready to start working towards it. Then you just kinda crash very suddenly and violently, the urges come back and intensely.

You realise the signs were there, your mood tracker rating your stability lower, you find your logging more erratic emotions than previously, but you managed to over look these things.

Now you turn to Tumblr because even Reddit finds you too much at the moment. Nothing went wrong, the peace was broken anyway. It's a matter of seeing how long you survive.

Does anyone else with OCD who also happens to get high also experience fluctuating reactions to the high?

Sometimes it helps, sometimes it makes me worse. I've yet to figure out why or what the signs are that one will happen over the other.

Advice?

"you can't have all of these disorders at the same time you have to be lying" if I could have less I would!!!

Every day I think about Grian OCD

Okay, I have a question for all the neurodivergents out there. A few mins ago, I was interacting publicly (reblogs, comments, etc.) with someone on another one of my sideblogs. And it occurred to me that, even though it's somewhat to a lesser degree, I'm still masking while on Tumblr dot com (a.k.a., Neurodivergent Central).
