Rant ahead: I saw a post on insta talking about how ocd and other Neurodivergencies shouldn’t be called disorders because there’s nothing wrong with the person it’s just society 😐. I can see what they mean with that statement when it comes to adhd or autism but not ocd. We could live in a perfect world and still be tortured by ocd, because it’s are brains oppressing us, not society. They also mention that medication is a “tool of capitalism built to make people conform” I’m not trying to conform with my ocd I’m just trying to relieve the mental torture caused by my malfunctioning brain first off. They go on to mention, again, how it’s not a disorder and rather “essential biodiversity” which again is harmful because they’re aren’t really any upsides to having ocd. We could live in a perfect world and still have ocd because it’s our own brains working against us. I’m just sick of the invalidation.

@Isabella Wow you have to be delusional to think that. Thats seriously awful. That is so damaging and they don’t understand that someone with ocd could read it and be devastated. I just hope it gets deleted for containing misinformation

Because of this precise issue I argued with a woman on Instagram. I told her that when she stresses the divergence part it makes light of this horrible disorder because it's painful and it's an ilness. I don't understand also people saying like ocd taught them this or that. How can a sickness teach you something? They approach it like any other life experience but it's just mental torture. I don't understand people Jesus.

For real, it brings me more comfort to call it a disorder/ mental illness
