it is honestly kind of funny how many Brain Things i can point to throughout my childhood and teenage years which i thought were just fairly normal brain things to experience, which i can now look back on and go "oh. that Wasn't normal, and that Was probably the ocd."

#still don't yet have that diagnosis because i keep forgetting to make an appointment with a psychiatrist or therapist or anything. f. #sometimes i get excessively worried i don't actually have ocd and then i remember that this is literally a trait of ocd and i'm like. #'wait. right. nvm.' #which is. KIND OF FUNNY. #but very genuinely it turns out that telling myself 'x thing doesn't matter. it's fine.' helps 2 stop so many different types of spirals. #or 'x thing is literally a symptom. not worth worrying about.' #or 'x thing is Literally Just A Thought. it is not hurting anyone because it is only in ur brain. ur not affecting anyone else. it's Fine.' #ANYWAY. THIS IS JUST ME. DON'T TAKE THIS AS ADVICE OR ANYTHING. #THIS IS JUST WHAT I'VE FOUND WORKS. #vi.txt
