It’s so annoying when people think OCD is just “being neat” lmao, I’m sorry but with my OCD it makes me question literally everything and makes me think someone is gonna die if I do certain things or do something “the wrong way” or if it feels like I opened a water bottle the way my mind didn’t like. And so much more. I’m seriously gonna make a video explaining what OCD really is, all the subtypes and how debilitating it is and put it on youtube. I’m SOOOOO sick of people making a joke out of it

I blame the media for taking OCD and making into what the general public thinks it is. However, I’ve seen more and more people stand up for what OCD really is when I see people and celebrities post making a joke of it. I think with more time and education it will become more understood

They don't understand it- don't take it personally.

I’m having extra trouble lately. When I fight my OCD, I say, “I am not my OCD; I am Karen.” And now with “Karen” becoming a word meaning “racist b*tch”, it’s like my real identity is also being disseminated. (Plus it’s totally distracting from the real issues of news stories in which it often appears.). They don’t understand OCD; you have the option to educate them but don’t have to. Even if they are joking around about OCD, which causes you suffering, remember, You are Not your OCD. You are you. OCD is a jerk, and You can make fun of it (rather than others with it) if it helps you overcome it. Good luck!

Thank you! I’m sorry that you’re struggling with your name right now, I can see how OCD would take that and turn it against you right now.

Hey everyone. I’ve been doing okay today. But I’ve been on twitter today and I don’t know if anyone has seen this but there’s a lot of people that speculate Shawn Mendes suffers from SOOCD. So I started reading about it and there’s a lot of people just laughing about it or saying he’s homophobic or closeted and it’s really stressing me out. I know I’ve said it a million times but it feels too real to be a ‘mental disorder’. How on earth can this be OCD and not just a sexual identity crisis?

Where to draw the line with ERP
Okay, so for the most part, if you have harm ocd/intrusive thoughts, you’ll understand (hopefully). If you haven’t seen, everyone is talking about the Netflix documentary “Dahmer”. Most harm ocd sufferers (myself included) that I’ve gotten to know all struggle with fears of being evil in any way (like a sociopath/narcissistic, etc). Do we need to make ourselves watch it? Even some of my friends without OCD say they couldn’t do it. The reason I don’t want to watch it is because I’m afraid it’ll trigger me. I’ll look for any common traits (this is what I do) and it’ll send me into a panic attack. But aren’t we SUPPOSED to on purpose watch things that bring us distress? The series has everyone talking about mental health and it SUCKS because OCD is considered “mental health” and I feel like it lumps us all into a giant category. Everything true crime triggers my harm ocd. I don’t even want to know humans are capable of such things because then it reminds me “it’s all possible”. I don’t know if I explained it well, but does ANYONE understand where I’m coming from 🥺🥺🥺🥺
