A comic about primarily obsessional OCD, otherwise known as Pure 'O' OCD

-

I'm really happy with how this turned out. I hope you can resonate and come away from this comic with renewed hope. At the very least, I hope you learned something from this. Thank you for reading. Please take care.

consider: intrusive thoughts described like shitty Buzzfeed articles

“Top 10 Reasons Why You’re Actually a Pedophile”

“People Are Sharing the Best Slurs to Scream at the Top of Your Lungs and Honestly I Am So Here For It”

“Tell Me Your Favorite Color and I’ll Tell You You Can Jump In Front of A Moving Train Right Now”

“You’ve Heard of [Normal Activity], But Have You Heard of All the Horrible Ways You Can Die While Doing It???!!”

“This Quiz Will RevealWhich Hand You Could Hypothetically Stick in a Blender!”

Just a reminder that OCD is not a homogenous experience

Not everyone with OCD has contamination OCD

Not everyone with OCD washes their hands obsessively

Not everyone with OCD has observable compulsions

Not everyone with OCD feels the need to be neat and have symmetry

Not everyone with OCD worries about germs

Not everyone with OCD feels able to talk about their rituals, compulsions or intrusive thoughts

Treat your intrusive thoughts like an edgelord little brother. Imagine them in the cracking voice of a 13 year old telling a dead baby joke in the back of the school bus. It makes shit so much less scary.

hint for everyone who has real fucked up sexual/violent OCD obsessions: it feels real for everybody. yes, that real. you might have have unnerving sensations in your groin, in your fingertips, in your lips that make you feel like a set trap. you might understand the emotional logic of why somebody would like and do the things you're thinking about. in your hysteria, you might generate justifications for the act in your mind, unsure of whether you actually mean them. after however long you've been thinking about this one thing, you might feel completely numb to its horror and let your festering imagination play out beside you with no opposition. you might have thought so many bad things that you know you have crossed a line, where now, things forever cannot be undone or unknown. knowing you're horrible, you might not care.

and still, none of it is true.

in a year or three or more, you may know that the roiling mess of your brain isn't what you are, that you do not have that awful secret, and that you are never going back to believing it.

A genuine thank you to people who have started using the term ‘impulsive thought(s)’ instead of ‘intrusive thought(s)’ when joking around. It’s a little thing but it’s also so very meaningful to people who struggle with intrusive thoughts like myself. It can be debilitating and terrifying beyond words, so seeing people use the term so loosely, especially often in favor of them “winning” can be incredibly distressing.

And for those who think it’s stupid and that people are being too serious about it or giving it too much thought: yeah, you’re absolutely right, and that’s part of the issues we struggle with. The thoughts are relentless. For a lot of people- the struggle is minute to minute or even second to second, and even the smallest things can derail our entire day.

So again, thank you to everyone who goes out of their way to say ‘impulsive’ instead.

And if you struggle with intrusive thoughts- you are NOT a monster, you are NOT crazy, you are NOT your thoughts, and you are NOT alone, even when it feels that way♥️

Ocd is awful because you could think that you’ve put your mind at ease once you’ve done/fixed the thing you were ruminating about, then you start over analyzing that one thing again and again, trying to fix it or add onto it just to make it even worse than it was before.
