A not often talked about ocd quirks that i deal with is giving inanimate objects humans feelings which creates unhealthy attachment to said objects.

For example, these pants i can no longer wear, will feel rejected if i donate them- better horde them.

Better say sorry repeatedly to this plant as i prune it - just incase it feels pain.

You put a scratch on the object? - you have now ruined its life as well as your own.

This is a universal fear, right?

people with sexual, violent, or otherwise taboo intrusive thoughts… I hope you know that your thoughts don’t define you. I hope you know that you deserve love, respect, and kindness. and I hope you have a good day

While i mostly agree with everything. For my OCD specifically option two is a gateway drug to a mini relapse. After multiple years of therapy I question at what point do accommodations support the obsessive compulsive cycle.

My OCD would love it if my whanau helped me with my compulsive behaviours. Like it makes me excited to think about it haha. But no, not helpful.

Like a simple “hey friend my ocd is a bit loud today can you do blah blah this one time” is helpful. But that same friend doing that thing every time is not really that supportive of recovery. Same for family as well.

how to be kind to people with ocd in your life

- avoid reblogging guilt trippy posts (if you don’t reblog x you’re a bad person) and chain mail (if you dont reblog x your mom will die)

- ask your friends with ocd what accommodations they might need due to their specific rituals, and try to be understanding even if it doesn’t make sense to you

- also understand that having ocd can make it difficult to reach out and talk about your problems, so make sure to check up on ur ocd-having friends if they seem down or haven’t spoken to you in a while

- don’t force people with ocd to do exposures. we can do it on our own time if/when we’re ready. you should never force someone with ocd to do something in order to “face their fears”
