OCD "jokes"

Why is it that it's only mental health conditions that people seem to think it's funny to joke about? People laugh when someone says "I just cleaned my living room, I'm so OCD about my house", but if someone were to say "I just drank two glasses of water, I'm so diabetes" people would probably get reasonably upset. And if there was a person with diabetes there to hear the joke, and they got upset, everyone else in the room would probably have their back. But you can bet that in the first example, if there was a person with OCD there, and they got upset, they would be told they were being "dramatic" or "too sensitive" or needed to "learn to take a joke". So, my point is, these two jokes would invoke very different responses from most people- Even though those are essentially the same thing, because both of those phrases turn a serious condition which causes suffering into the butt of a joke. The difference is, you can prove with concrete on-paper evidence that diabetes exists. With OCD, it's inside your head, so it's way harder to be taken seriously: we can be accused of faking or lying or exaggerating, and what do we actually have to prove that we aren't? So us and our struggles are far more likely to be brushed off, invalidated, and disrespected. Jokes such as the infamous "I'm so OCD" just invalidate the actual struggles of people with OCD. Reminder: OCD is not an adjective!! Then you also have romanticization of the condition: "I wish I had OCD too, I'm so disorganized!" No, no, you do NOT wish you had OCD, it is literally hell for people who have it. It is just as problematic when OCD is treated as a cute quirk or a personality trait as when its existence is denied altogether. Finally, although invalidation and romanticization are both forms of stigma against people with OCD, of course there are more direct forms of stigmatization as well: "What's wrong with you?", "Wow, so you're, like, crazy?", "Stop doing that, you're being insane!" are probably more obvious forms of the prevalent stigma against people who have mental health conditions such as OCD. It's very damaging both to act as if OCD doesn't exist, and to act as if it defines the person dealing with it. So yes, OCD is very much real, it is a part of my life, it is an obstacle I have to face- but OCD is not all that I have experienced, it does not represent my real values, and it does not define who I am as a person. Stop the jokes. Stop the stigma- in ALL its forms.
