me listening to people say they’re “so OCD” just bc they like to put their pens in rainbow order when i literally got hospitalized bc my ocd convinced me that if i moved i was going to kill my mom so all i could do was sit curled up in a ball and sob bc i was afraid

308

Like cool man my ocd makes me think im in the epstein files

183

“i like all my stuff in order i’m so ocd” and then they bitch at me when mine prevents me from doing a lot of very basic shit because it’s a mild inconvenience to them or annoys them to watch

136

As someone who does not have OCD but does have a sister with OCD, this phrase irritates me too. My sister doesn’t care for it either.

106

Same with “I get so distracted by my phone I think I have adhd”

95

My professor literally says all the time he’s “so ocd” because he likes to organize his slides. I can’t touch certain surfaces because I’m afraid someone touched lead paint dust before touching that surface and now I can’t touch it or I’ll die from lead poisoning

64

Where do people even get these stereotypes from ? Like for example why do people think they bipolar bc they get mad quick or something or why do people even wanna be diagnosed with certain stuff anyways ?😫

53

“Ugh I clean so much I must have OCD” bitch I get intrusive suicidal thoughts every day making me fear that one day I might kms even though I don’t want to. We are not the same!!

50

“I get intrusive thoughts to I probably have OCD” “I shudder when I’m nervous I might have Tourette’s” “I can’t focus on anything I might have adhd” “I forget things so easily I have adhd” SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP

47

Every day I have to fight the urge to scrub/wash my hands till they are raw and bleeding and also have to fight the urge to fight a mfer when they say shit like this at work especially when our job is to organize things 🤦‍♂️

41

Me when I tell people I have ODC but they hit me with “How can you have OCD your room is a mess” BITCH BFFR

24

“i’m so ocd!” my ocd causes me to have such debilitating fear of my pet dying i’ll often not even leave the house just to keep an eye on them

23

Guys it’s leaking into the medical field too I went in for an adhd diagnosis and answered yes for every question about it and she tried to diagnose me with OCD bc I mentioned I didn’t like planning things on Tuesday :///

20

So ocd but my ocd doesn’t allow me to live with other people bc ik im insane and will have panic attacks and projectial vomit thinking about how dirty water bottle tops are so I don’t have water bottles in my house

18

As a kid I’d have to look in the mirror 4 times every time I passed it. Once I thought I didn’t do it right so I started freaking out and my grandpa took my mirror out of my room. But I thought if he did that, a demon would come out of the mirror and kill me. I had a full blown meltdown and got the mirror back. This still happens at times but my ocd has gotten a lot better. Everything I did was in sets of 4, it was just so bad

18

oh my gosh i’m so glad i’m not alone

15

“I’m so ocd i like to sort my closet by color” i’m afraid that if i don’t walk correctly on the sidewalk my best friend is going to get into a car accident. So cool that you like your shirts organized

15

People often mix up perfectionism with OCD

15

me when i have full on anxiety attacks when someone beeps the lock on their car one too many or too little times

14

i quite literally saved this image just for people who say things like this

13

“I experienced more than 2 emotions in the last hour, so I must have bipolar” bro 🙄

10

Like sorry that’s not ocd that’s just a preference 😭

10

That’s just being normal! Do you have thoughts of the universe collapsing in on itself if you don’t flip the light switch 3 times?

8

people say shit like this and then get mad at people w ocd who cant do certain tasks. like NO im not almost 22 without my license to spite you and use you for your car, last time i tried to drive I WAS CONVINCED I WAS GONNA GET HIT AND DIE AT EVERY TURN

7

Everyone speculated me for having ocd since im very particular about my room being, was later told its my anxiety and adhd working together

6

"i'm so ocd" cool i can't clean my room and if i think about the fire alarm it's gonna go off and everyone's gonna die

6

Whole time my ocd be like jump up and down three times or your whole family is gonna die 😭

6

My mother has OCD, and while it is mild, it is also diagnosed OCD, and I hate when people say things like this. My mother will freak out if anything that she’s put anywhere isn’t exactly where it was before and will randomly on a Tuesday be like: “This thing I put here is now pissing me off. It needs to be somewhere new or I will kill someone about it.” And she’ll spend the next 2 hours rearranging the kitchen. You ask her why everything’s different and she’ll go: “It’s always been like this”

6

“i’m so ocd” if i roll my windows down im convinced someone is going to shoot me

5

Legit, like it’s ruined my life, I wish it was just me being organized
