OCD had been kicking my ass recently, so here’s a poem.

things i’m learning that i’m allowed to do 🩷
I can prefer media that people might think is immature for my age
the things i like don’t have to make sense to anyone but me and they don’t even have to make sense to me either
i can decorate and personalize everything i own to be the most me
i can buy pink everything and anything
my room, my taste in music, and my clothes don’t have to always match
i can prefer all my clothes are the same textures/fabrics with similar colors/prints/patterns
my outfits can be as silly and childish and immature as i want them to be
i can’t always control what i like and why, sometimes things just feel right
i can carry a stuffed animal with me wherever i want because it helps my anxiety and makes me feel safer
i don’t have to explain why something makes me happy or sad or why i like something
i can communicate in a way that tires me the least
i can use my mobility aid, i can even decorate it and put stickers on it
I can put pins on everything, i don’t just have to pick one or two
i can wear a soft hooded bathrobe instead of my scratchy winter coat and it’s just as warm and feels like i’m wrapped in a blanket
my comfort items don’t need to make sense to anyone
i can wear wigs (i felt really weird about doing anything other than my natural hair, like i was a “bad” black person because i wanted long wavy pink hair at times)
i don’t have to dress simply but i can still be comfy
the things i collect don’t have to be sophisticated
i can like music that kinda sounds like beeps and boops
i can also like music in different languages
i can listen to lullabies to sleep because i fall asleep way easier when i do
i can sleep with stuffed animals too
the books i read don’t have to be sophisticated or classic, i can prefer reading about fairies and magic and pretty things, i can even have books that are mostly pictures
i don’t have to wear jeans (ever)
i don’t have to feel bad for being different and not being able to do the same things as other people my age
it’s okay to not want my food to touch and it’s okay to have lots of different things like that
i’m not bad for needing a little extra care and sensitivity
i’m not bad for being unable to work
being autistic does make me different but i’m still me and i can love me and other people can love me too
i’m not bad

i love waking up in the morning and rememebering that my mental illness doesnt define me and that everyday im making progress even (especially) when it feels like im not and that im the happiest ive ever been since the onset and that none of this is my fault and newsflash buddy its not your fault either. im sure you had very specific circumstances that caused the onset that you obsess over and probably blame yourself for but i dont care. everyone thinks theyre the exception to the rule of ‘its not your fault’ but there are no exceptions. its not your fault. whatever it is, its not your fault. and i mean whatever. not your fault. i love you.

le wise ocd philosopher has arrived
idk i can just yell my thoughts at the void so . if this realization is in any way useful to someone... awesome.
for me, ocd is .. like a small animal living in my head. the animal, like most animals.. doesnt really do things because its "evil"; it doesnt have a concept of morality or shame etc. this animal.. the only thing it wants is attention . of any kind. positive or negative its good for him. doesnt make a difference if you tell him you love him or if you yell at him; he doesnt understand what you're saying anyways but he loves having your attention.
for this he keeps showing you fun things he finds around your head and mashes them together. shows them to you. sees if this catches ur attention. if not... boo. throw it away, mix something else, try again etc. he scans things u see and takes something in your head, mix them together; BAM! new weird sparkly thing. do you like this?
it has no idea what the things its making say, or mean at all and he couldnt care less. the only thing he cares about is if the things make you pay attention to him.
this animal is your guy. please dont hate him; hes not doing this to be "evil" to you, he doesnt understand any of that or what you yell at him. but, you can train him like any cute animal : ) only engage with him and pay attention to him when he shows u stuff you like. if he shows you stuff you DONT like (intrusive thoughts) kindly just look at it, acknowledge hes showing u something, and then keep doing whatever u were doing. dont talk to him anymore and dont pay attention to him again if he keeps showing you this same thing.
he will learn showing you this particular thing doesnt get him anything .,,, throw it away and lets get something else!!
it.. will make u feel bad to not pay attention to him. maybe you feel like you need to lecture him on why its a bad thing the thing he just made. or you just want to yell at him. do not. he doesnt understand what you say to him! its just attention to him. and thats what he wants. please dont encourage behaviors you dont like... and dont send mixed signals! hes just a little guy..! hes trying to understand what he can show u to get your attention and what not. positive reinforcement and what not..
anyways. yeah. i guess you have to be a bit heartless by ignoring him when he keeps showing you the same damn stupid thing... but its better for the both of you! its like if your dog pissed on the couch and you told him "good job!" . no! thats not what you want to do.. so dont feel bad. you just want your animal to grow into a pleasant little lad. he wont die if you ignore him a bit when he shows you something stupid. he gets bored very quickly and makes another thing to try.
anyways. yup :3 i know this is hard for a lot of people with ocd to accept; that your ocd isnt some weird exterior evil entity but just your reactions to a stream of consciousness but.. i guess now that ive been dealing with this fucker for like 4-5 years i have got to learn something lol... again this may just be more personal but if any of this helps anyone.. that would be so cool.

I want to devote more of my life to myself. The world is hard to navigate as a black autistic queer and I deserve to make it easier on myself. I want to wear clothes that make me feel good and take care of myself. I want to feel comfortable needing comfort items and using my mobility aid. I want to be able to wear my gloves outside when i can’t touch things so i can still experience everything. i want to put stickers on my cane and maybe a little keychain on it. I want to do things that make living easier and more fun even if i look silly

Impulsive thought got the best of me today
Had the whiteout in my hand and the computer in front of me and really thought
“I wonder what would happen if I just- run the white out over the computer? Without even a second thought I did and then proceeded to panic because it actually got on the computer and wouldn’t come off
