i’m forever showing up at doorsteps with get-well-soon cards and warm tomato soup, trying to rescue other people the way i wish someone would rescue me.

hi. i have sever ocd and my intrusive rhoughs have been exponentially distressing and disturbing, and i do not feel strong enough to bear them for much longer. ive also suffered from a few eating disorders and cutrently struggle w self harm addiction. i am weight my options and seriously considering voluntary admission into a psych ward or residential
i was wonderign ! was your psych ward admittance voluntary or involuntary? how did it help / hinder you, and have you gotten any better? if so, what are some ocd coping mechanisms you've found work for you that arent so harmful?
thank ykh & i hope you are staying safe ♡
Hey! I’m so sorry you’re struggling like this ❤️ I know how it feels, and you’re definitely not alon
I was voluntarily admitted to the psych ward— however, there are different types of psych wards and this was a “light” psych ward. It was a 100% voluntary 3-5 day treatment program at my community’s Crisis Center. It was a calm, supportive, environment, where I made friends and was connected with a psychiatrist and therapist who help me to this day!
That said, psych wards are really traumatic, or might not have people educated on OCD treatment. Others (like mine) save lives.
If you can— research your local mental health treatment options and find out which seems like the best for you.
But however you do it— please get help. ❤️ I know how you feel, and how insurmountable it all seems, but recovery IS possible. I— and so many other people— are living proof.

I unironically like the song 1-800-miss-your-guts by the tramp stamps and y’all can’t shame me for that, if I’m wrong I don’t wanna be right.

One time I was in the psych ward because of my severe OCD and intrusive thoughts and was SO upset because I couldn’t find any rep/ books about people with similar experiences, so I wrote a 72,000 word YA romance novel about a girl with severe OCD and her boyfriend…
…anyway, if you’ve read this far, you might as well follow @UnthinkableThingsNovel on Insta & TikTok to read more about this book and help me get it published 😳😳🫶
