“Just Right” OCD (JR-OCD*): a subtype of OCD where obsessions are centered on things being “just right”. People with JR-OCD experience intrusive thoughts around organization, symmetry, and a subjective sense of “rightness” and they perform compulsions until they feel that it is “perfect” (people with JR-OCD often describe themselves as perfectionists). The obsessive feeling is that of something being “not right” until a certain action is performed to “correct” it, and if this doesn’t happen the person experiences intense anxiety- the compulsion needs to be done for the anxiety to subside. Compulsions may include obsessively rearranging books in order of height, spending an hour trying to put a candle in the exact center of a table, taking perfectly even steps while walking, being unable to stop moving a picture frame until it’s “perfectly even”, needing to turn a light on and off several times before leaving a room, needing eyeliner to be perfectly symmetrical, and avoiding any situation that will require them to perform their compuslsions in public in order not to feel anxious. However, like all forms of OCD the exact manifestations vary and are specific to each individual with the disorder.

Colors represent my interpretation of the feeling of “rightness”.

*JR-OCD is a shorthand to go along with the other subtypes that have them.

ocd & ocspec (obsessive compulsive spectrum*) symbols & flags!

✩ this post is a collaborative project with @mogaicemetery so much love to doll & veir help! row one: the ocd symbol - the hour glass

this is intended to represent ocd and its subsets, with the sand pouring representing the constant stream of obsessions / intrusive thoughts and the flipping of the hourglass representing the compulsions, starting the cycle over again.

it was created with inspiration from the neurodivergent infinity symbol and adhd butterfly symbol. there are three different colors - black for standard png use, teal for ocd awareness, and rainbow for neurodivergency.

a unicode symbol that works well for this is the white hourglass: ⧖

row two: the black and teal hourglasses placed on the ocd flag (linked) and the ocd flag cropped to 16:9 scale row three: the ocspec symbol - the four club-spoked asterisk.

this is intended to represent the obsessive compulsive spectrum, with the clubs representing neurodivergency, the radial symmetry symbolizes the different specific directions obsessive compulsive disorders can manifest as whilst existing within a larger spectrum, and obsessive/compulsive represented by the horizontal/vertical directions respectively.

the unicode symbol used for this is the four club-spoked asterisk: ✥

row four: the ocspec flag (created by mons) / the symbol & flag

✩ color meanings are as follows: purple for obsessions, indigo for behaviors, teal for ocd, white for bfrbs, green for compulsions

*obsessive compulsive spectrum includes but not limited to: ocd, body focused repetitive behavior, eating disorders, trichotillomania, and hoarding

Signs of online grooming

1) adults should not talk to you (a minor) about sex. In any way. They shouldn’t be telling you details about their sexual abuse or sex life. They shouldn’t ask you questions about your sex life or sexual habits. They shouldn’t try to convince you to do sexual acts. They shouldn’t ask for nudes. They shouldn’t send nudes. They shouldn’t send you porn or nsfw materials. They shouldn’t be talking about this stuff in front of you.

This includes fandom stuff and drawings. This includes nsfw fanfiction or audios. This includes role playing.

One of the most overlooked forms of online grooming is exposure to nsfw fandom content or coercion, or requests of nsfw role plays, drawings, ect. It doesn’t matter if it’s fiction. Adults should not expose you to sexual content.

2) they offer to buy you stuff or meet up.

3) they make you feel special. They may compliment you, draw you stuff, give you shout outs, participate in activities you like, ect.

4) they ask you personal questions. Do you get along with your family? Do you have any friends? Where do you live? What do you look like?

—————————————————————

5) they talk to you about personal issues or financial issues. They basically treat you like a therapist. OR they repeatedly ask you to confide in them. They may threaten suicide or self harm as well.

6) they compliment you in inappropriate ways. Saying you’re “hot” or “sexy.”

Notes:

•if you are an older teen, the predator might use excuses such as “you’re old enough”, or “you’re legal”, ect for their behaviors. Don’t listen to them. A teenager is still a minor and in the eyes of regular adults, they are still children.

•anyone can be a predator and anyone can be a victim.

•minors who are closed lgbt teens, abuse victims, or have mental illnesses tend to be more vulnerable to grooming.

For anyone who was groomed online, it is not your fault. You are not dumb. You’re not to blame at all. Groomers are incredibly manipulative and good at what they do.

Your trauma is valid. It happening online doesn’t mean it’s less harmful to you.

"My child is completely fine" Your child talks to their comfort characters and acts out scenarios with them but also worries that they're insane for pretending to be friends with non existent people, however, it's their only somewhat healthy coping mechanism that is not self destructive so they compulsively use it as an escapism technique, while feeling horribly guilty and crazy because if they ever told anyone that they still basically have imaginary friends they'd probably be laughed at so instead they unload all their struggles on the characters they talk to and end up even telling them about this bad habit of excessively daydreaming and playing pretend so that they eventually create an inception of escapism because now they realise that they are talking about the crazy coping mechanism while practicing said coping mechanism and eventually have to explain to the character that THEY are the escapism because "oh shit, I'm doing it right now because I'm talking to you!"
