I hate all these rules...

TRIGGER WARNING in case you adopt other people's obsessions or compulsions

This is probably just going to end up as a short (or not so short, we'll see) rant. But I need to get this out somehow

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who is living by stupid rules that OCD keeps making up.

Like don't do that certain thing today, or something bad will happen, have to wait till tomorrow.

This is super vague, I know, but for me it's basically forbidding me to do things I wanna do and makes me wait til the next day. Sometimes it even ruins a whole week. I do have to say I've usually been able to break the cycle when it came to a whole week. Like, about half way through or so, I would just do the thing anyways. Which is great as ERP, but damn, why does ERP have to be so friggin' hard?

EXPOSED: Living with OCD through Art (HOW DO I LOVE?) | #OCDArtist #IOCDF #ARTSAVEDMYLIFE | These four paintings began in my Exposure and Response Prevention intensive outpatient program this past July. It took mornings of facing fears I've been ritualizing away my whole life to get to this point, to these paintings. No profession guarantees success, really. Nothing can do that for us, except for us. My dreams, the creative ones, have always been possible. There is no complete dream, though, and I think I'm finally start to live in mine. IRL, tho. My whole life adults have been telling me that when they look at my dreams they just see a hat, meanwhile I moved on, shaking my head because it is just like The Little Prince. We forget. We don't see the snake swallowing the elephant in the room whole, and when we lose that part of ourselves to the lives our adult parents and caregivers who view vulnerability as weakness and creativity as frivolous, we lose who we are meant to become. Our most authentic selves. OCD has me doubting myself every step of the way, so I am finally deciding to fucking side step that shit and live every minute of the life that I am choosing to lead. Not my mom. Not my OCD. Not my trauma. Me. Do your healing and see how you become the person you really, truly did need. It's fucking wild. I couldn't have done it without embracing the artist I was always meant to become. Deepest gratitude to my therapists, psychiatrists (who fucking listened to me), and my husband and favorite human. Also all the love to my cat boys who spend nights sitting up with me while I paint. Recovery from things, OCD or addiction or any other illness that exists, never stops. For me, my 12-step program is ERP. My OCD is lifelong. So I can't stop, and that means I can't stop painting. What a beautiful way to show the ones you love that you love them by waking up every day to face your fears and become the mindful being they, and you, deserve. #artistsoninstagram #artoftheday #exposureresponseprevention #ERP #OCDrecovery #IOCDF #IOCDFARTISTS #OctoberArt #supportdisabledartists👻

Great post as always, be sure to give her a follow! Posted @withrepost • @life_without_anxiety Rituals that one can see are not the only kind of rituals performed by individuals with OCD. Mental rituals are performed internally and are not outwardly observable behaviors. Physically observable rituals include (but are not limited to) compulsive behaviors such as cleaning, ordering/arranging, checking, repeating, using barriers, avoidance, etc. Mental rituals include (but are not limited to) avoidance, neutralizing a “bad” thought with a “good” thought, distraction, ritualistic prayer, checking physical feelings/emotions/thoughts/urges/etc., counting, etc. Rituals, whether they are observable or not, keep us stuck in our OCD as they negatively reinforce the OC cycle to keep playing out (info-graphic of this cycle located in my saved stories). Rituals tell our brain that the upsetting intrusive thoughts are valid and meaningful which keeps the intrusions coming back, getting stronger, and bringing friends. It is so important to resist utilizing compulsions of all types. I believe in your ability to allow your thoughts to float in and out of your mind without performing safety behaviors. I believe in your ability to ride the wave of anxiety and live according to your values. I believe in YOU.💛 . . #ocd #ocdrecovery #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #intrusivethoughts #compulsion #pedophileocd #harmocd #scrupulosity #relationshipocd #contamination #pureocd #anxiety #doubt #fear #anxietydisorder #sexualorientationocd #perfectionism #uncertainty #mentalhealth #panic #exposureresponseprevention #ocdrecovery #mindfulness #exposuretherapy #cbt #recovery #yougotthis #psychology #selfcompassion #wecandohardthings
