Nothing grinds my gears quite like someone saying “I’m so ocd haha”. Like it’s nothing, Because then when someone is really struggling with ocd people don’t see it as serious and complex as it is because of how loosely spoken about it is. Same goes for any mental illness. Anyway rant over sending peace ✌🏼

The biggest issue I have is it makes everyone have this impression that OCD can only be organizational, and because I don't have that subtype a lot of people don't believe me when I say that I have OCD

I hate it too

My own family use it loosely, I’m not offended though- let them think it’s so innocent, and have the world treat you innocently. I can imagine it’s different for those with schizophrenia which is super stigmatised

Sometimes being egotistic about mental health, takes it away from how poor mental health is ‘normal’, id rather have people see it as nothing than THIS BIG HUGE THING - cause I see it as that too much, which is why it’s still here
