SERIOUSLY. CAME ON HERE TO SAY THIS. it’s absolutely ridiculous and SO offensive towards people who ACTUALLY have ocd. my teacher is constantly and i mean CONSTANTLY talking about ‘his ocd’ when he messes up his writing and tries to fix it or if something is slightly crooked. like just because you want something to look nice DOESNT MEAN YOU HAVE OCD. i want to scream this in class yet i keep quiet. it makes me so mad. if only he and others realized how bad ocd really is. god, if only it WERE as simple as saying ‘oh! this drawing looks ugly, UGH! my OCD! i hate it!” truly one of the worst things about ocd imo is having to deal with ignorant people who think they know what the f ocd is. im so mad
Same here I hear it all the time and I just think to myself, “you don’t know the half of it” and I kind of just sigh and laugh because I’m glad they don’t have it (wouldn’t wish it upon anyone) and they have no clue on what it’s really like, and imo I am really confused to how people don’t know the truth about ocd? Why is it seen as “oh I have do so and so, my ocd” and not how it really is and ruins peoples life’s ?? I think more awearness needs to acc be spread and not even just ocd, all mental health issues!
This makes me so angry. Its so hurtful and dismissive. People have no clue what we go through on a daily basis. Sometimes I just don't have the words to explain. Another one I hate is "Everyone is a little OCD" No they aren't!
I remember trying to explain that I have OCD to a friend and they told me that “it’s just wanting things to be clean” and that I’m overreacting. It sucks how people don’t understand what OCD actually is.
The more I come here, the more I realize that ocd is a scary, weird, f*ed up illness, so I don’t get how organized people claim to have ocd or think it’s a cute or funny quirk. If they only knew how miserable life can be sometimes when you have to deal with an inner voice who’s constantly trying to ruin everything, and constantly making you feel scared to even wake up in the morning or go to sleep at night..
I get triggered when people discuss how it frustrates them to hear someone say, “That’s sooo OCD.” Then they talk about how OCD is *real* suffering, and these people don’t know what real suffering is. Another time, a friend asked, “Have you ever struggled with depression?” I said, “I don’t know.” He said, “You’d know if you had.” It makes me feel like suffering is a competition. And that I have to rank a certain percentage in suffering before I’m allowed to express my pain or ask for help or practice self compassion. Maybe nothing is wrong with me. “Suck it up, buttercup.” And all that.
I was wondering if you guys agree. I have PTSD, GAD, depression, an eating disorder and OCD. I feel like every time, OCD is taken the least serious, while to me its the worse... Also, my OCD makes it hard for me to search for help cause my OCD tells me Im a bad person, I dont deserve help, Im not allowed to show my emotions Because of that I cant show how bad it is, especially cause its pure ocd, so people dont mention my struggle or take me serious. But i feel like, in general, of all my disorders, OCD is taken the least serious, while to me its the worst of all. I hate it... i hate OCD so much, its debilitating and nobody can see it.
