"Oh god, oh shit, I don't have enough compassionate empathy for this, uhhhhhhhhh-"
Hey, do me a favor. If you're gonna vent to someone, ASK FIRST. The amount of times my friends have suddenly and completely out of the blue started venting about their lives, and then simultaneously not given a shit about my life or my struggles, is too often to count.

Greetings bugs and worms!
This comic is a little different than what I usually do but I worked real hard on it—Maybe I'll make more infographic stuff in the future this ended up being fun. Hope you learned something new :)
If you are still curious and want to learn more about OCD, you can visit the International OCD Foundation's website. I also recommend this amazing TED ED video "Starving The Monster", which was my first introduction to the disorder and this video by John Green about his own experience with OCD.
The IOCDF's website can also help you find support groups, therapy, and has lots of online guides and resources as well if you or a loved one is struggling with the disorder. It is very comprehensive!
Reblog to teach your followers about OCD
(But also not reblogging doesn't make you evil, silly goose)

lead balloon (the tumblr post that saved me)
if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.

no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.
I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.
I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.
If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.

“Oh look! A core memory!”
Yeah, and my mother was well aware schizophrenia runs in the family on her side! I spent my ENTIRE childhood in frequent episodes of psychosis with magical thinking and ALSO believing that I was broken for not being like others. I also got taken advantage of A LOT due to my delusions making me highly gullible. I didn't even piece together what was wrong with me until I went to new psychiatrist on my own when I was 18 and immediately got diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder.
My mother was also in the room with me when I said all that to the optometrist, but I refuse to draw her face so you're getting this angle instead. But she KNEW what I said too. Which makes this even more bullshit.

Come On Man, You're Making It Out To Be Worse Than It Really Is
A comic to mock my thinking process when I was around 13/14. I would make a small mistake or do something silly, and when I didn't immediately get validation for it I would cry about it and then do things to make it worse.
