ocd culture is wasting your life being anxious about wasting your life

Disabled culture is getting really upset at how little people on this website seem to care about people with OCD. Like, reblog bait all you want but dont tie morality and shit to it. Dont make it a ‘ill know if you dont reblog this!’ or ‘i dont trust you if you ignore this’ or ‘reblog to save a life’ or whatever, cause that wont make a person WANT to reblog it more, itll just fucking stress people out, which is made WORSE if any of said people have OCD (like myself)
Am I making ANY sense?
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense! I really hate that too. I don’t even have OCD and those sorts of posts still have had a horrible affect on my ability to engage with anything of that kind, politics especially, even when it is something I find important to talk about. I cannot imagine how awful it can get with OCD or similar disorders added to the mix.
For anyone who needs to hear it: the sort of person that you are is not determined by what you don’t reblog. You do not need to interact with anything or anyone to prove you’re not an evil person. If people start bringing morality into it, it is alright to block them! Take care of and protect yourselves!

questioning ocd culture is swearing up and down that you do NOT have ocd and are being dramatic/that even suspecting that you may have it makes you a bad person or a faker and then heavily relating to every symptom you come across on an otherworldly level.
this fr before being diagnosed, very normal apparently but it's so frustating

(CW: Obsessions/grooming mention)
OCD culture is interacting with someone younger than you online and being terrified of "accidentally grooming them"

npd + ocd + p-did (all suspected) culture is not being able to handle positive attention because you feel like you don't deserve it and not being able to handle neutral/neg attention without feeling strong need to block the person/leave the place that caused it and also not being able to tell if you have npd/ocd bc symptom holders mentally ill sisyphus

needing help isn't a moral or personal failing. every person on this earth needs help from infancy to being elderly and everything else in between, we all need help at one point or another. the vast majority of us do not farm the wheat for or bread, nor do we mill it, or turn it into dough, or even bake it. so many other people help us every single day of our lives. needing help with your health is no different.
it's not bad to need accommodations with walking, moving, talking, hearing, perceiving stimuli, eating, making phone calls, doing laundry, taking medications, getting to sleep, staying awake, keeping yourself grounded, remembering or keeping track of things, making it to things on time, or anything else. it's natural to need help, we are a social species. please allow yourself to ask for help when you need it, that's how humanity has continued to survive.

i just wanted to say to every disabled person: Someone doubting your condition or telling you you don't have something doesn't change whether or not it's happening. someone's disbelief of gravity doesn't change the effect of its forces. you are the expert, don't worry about what someone else says about your lived experience, especially strangers. you know you best

moral/harm ocd culture is asking "are you sure" 100 times when someone says you're not a bad person.

psychotic plural with ocd culture is playing the game of "was that my own thought, a headmate, a hallucination, or an intrusive thought?"

ocd culture is holding yourself responsible for everyone's wellbeing, so if you don't offer help to every single stranger that might be having a bad day you must to be a terrible & selfish person and everyone knows it and they're judging you and you'll never be able to show your face around here again

ace (with ocd) culture is always having a karen in your head asking you the same questions a real life karen would: "how can you be sure if you've never tried it? maybe you just need to meet the right person. are you sure you're not just being shy? childish? is asexuality even a real thing?" and ALSO having a little demon in your head that constantly tells you that you're attracted to your friends and you're lying to everyone about your asexuality

apparently it is morally wrong to have a crush/sexual feelings for anyone in general. Like. the whole 'dont sexualize literal people ewwww.' i really really wish less teens were on the internet because of this kind of stuff. we are mass-producing mental illness and i am not kidding.
like imagine being 15, having a crush on someone in your class, going on the internet, and being bombarded with all sorts of people saying its wrong to experience sexual thoughts towards people in your peer group. its wrong for adults to have sexual thoughts about other adults. its even more wrong for you, a teen, to have sexual thoughts about your classmates.
you are 16 now and very lucky to be in therapy with a well off enough family. you confess to your therapist how evil you are for wanting to touch or look at that one girl in your class. she looks at you with confusion, like how your mother looks at you when you ask her why you have a computer and your friend doesn't. why is it fair. everyone's confused about you and you are confused too. you're evil, you must be, because you have dirty disgusting feelings. you deserve to be mocked online, says dogluvr15089. you're an evil monster, says @Official Priest of West California. you're a pervert and sexual predator, says fandom_m0m321. they have stupid names and no faces-- but if all of them are saying it then it must have some truth to it, right? your therapist is saying something but you don't hear her, you're in your head wondering if you should punish yourself, how you should punish yourself. when you're back in the room with her you ask her what's wrong with you. she writes you a diagnosis for ocd and anxiety. you take the drugs, like the good, righteous, pure teenager you want to be. they make you feel weirdly empty, and not very hungry, and kinda sleepy. they might give you dementia in your 50s but who cares. you deserve it for being gross. you look through the comments even on other people's stuff, the comments telling them the same thing you were told. you're still punishing yourself for natural feelings-- seeking out the same degrading bullying when you don't get enough of it. you don't tell your therapist you are doing this; because you know she would tell you to stop and you don't want to stop. it's a compulsion. you talked about those last Tuesday.
you're 17. you haven't asked anyone out. by some miracle, a girl who likes you takes the initiative. you stumble through the date awkwardly and anxiously, trying not to touch her, flinching away when your fingers brush over a cheap burger. she asks if you're okay, and then asks, "don't you like me?" She asks, "why do you look like you're scared of me or something?" You stay silent. But then when it happens again, she gets up to leave and the rejection causes the dam to break. You try not to cry, because that's Emotional Manipulation. You choose your words carefully, because you don't want to accidentally Gaslight her like the evil thing you are. You stumble through it but you tell her you're sorry, you tell her you've never had the chance to date. You tell her, shaking like a leaf, like a dumb idiot, that you really really like her and she's very pretty and you're scared to say Hot or Sexy so you don't. And you tell her you're scared. You're really scared she'll see you're a bad person and leave you for someone more pure and good. You try really hard to phrase it like a PR team would. She tells you that's ridiculous, laughing like sunshine and kisses and god, sex. But most of all you've never heard someone so flippantly tell you how ridiculous of a notion that is. She makes you feel brave. You tell her what people have been telling you, scared that you're Trauma Bonding her but pushing through. She, with more surprise, again tells you it's ridiculous. She's not laughing anymore, but you want to make her laugh. You ask with a voice too small for your age if its okay you think her laugh is really sexy. She smiles so brightly its blinding, and says she thinks you're sexy too. You hold hands when you leave together. You go on more dates later, and the two of you talk about your problems and your dreams. And she shows you how to yell at "internet dumbasses." And you still go to therapy except this time you think it's working, because this time you Get It. You get it's ridiculous, and you're happy enough to try to heal.
And you know what? You're one of the lucky few that got that chance. Many teens struggle with mental health problems due to the internet. Not all of them are caused by this purity bullshit. Some of it is body image-- accounts that encourage eating disorders and low self-esteem. Some of it is trends and feeling lonely and unlikeable. Social media doesn't just excaberate mental illness. Sometimes it really and truly produces it and this fact needs more awareness.

I love you people with dermotillamania. I love you people walking the weird blurry line between self harm and skin condition. I love you people with healing scabs and scars and bandaids. I love you people who get triggered by short sleeves and can’t explain it. I love you people who have to take deep breaths while wearing a tank top. I love you people with scars that look like stars and planets and stories written on your skin. I love you people with short nails and long elaborate nails. I love you people who are learning to find boundaries around triggers. I love you people who hide your infections and don’t believe their story is valid. I love you people who are caring for eachother in this community. I love you people who don’t trust their hands but are learning to trust their heart. You are valuable and loved and beautiful. I am kissing your forehead and wishing you joy

shoutout to disabled people who are too sick to take care of their teeth. here's to you if you have to get frequent fillings, root canals, teeth extracted, implants, or dentures because taking care of your teeth is to difficult or impossible with your disabilities. here's to you if you forget to brush, can't afford tooth brushes, toothpaste, mouth wash, etc., if you are or have been homeless and struggled to access dental care, if you're too poor or don't have insurance to see the dentist, if you dissociate, if you are psychotic and don't trust dentists, if your chronic fatigue prevents you from daily maintenance, or whatever it is that holds you back, shoutout to you.
dental care is a nightmare to keep up with given the amount of sugars, acids and harmful additives that are put into just about everything in our modern diet. many of the sugars and acids alone damage our teeth in substantial ways that are difficult to keep up with even if you are abled, let alone the cost, time and transportation it takes to get access to dentistry. if you have to get teeth extracted or replaced, you are not failing. that is also part of your care. you are still doing your best.
