I’m trying to distract myself with video game from doing destructive/harmful things but I’m so upset and anxious which makes my stomach feel gross which makes the cycle get worse. I hate OCD so so much and would not wish this on ANYONE. It upsets me when people treat it so trivially.

OCD is not a clean home. It’s a mind dirtied with intrusive thoughts

get some chewable zinc tablets! they’re great for helping you not get sick once you’ve been exposed. It’s good for you and maybe could provide some peace of mind

Ngl I used to be one of those people, but with having to have things a certain way. Then it was correcting people's grammar. Then I found out recently wha OCD really is ... which I do actually have it 😅 sucks ass though, seriously. You got this 🫶

No because I didn’t know I had it till I explained to my therapist that I have to use 3 paper towels after washing my hands, have to park in the same area, have to do my homework in the same order, have to stay within my daily routine to fell content. It makes it very difficult for me when I got used to a situationship ghosting me because I got so used to adding them into my routine

You and all of these other commenters are making me feel seen /gen as someone else with OCD it upsets me when people use it as an adjective. Much love to you <3 I promise it’ll be okay
