if you could diagnose kevin what would it be

female hysteria

[xxpunkbovidxx]

It's all "we support all mental illnesses/disorders" until the Schizospec person has delusions

Until the being with OSDD/DID switches

Until the being with ASPD struggles with empathy

Until the being with PTSD has an episode because they're having flashbacks

Until the being with depression is too depressed to brush their teeth

Until the being with ADHD forgets something important

Until the being with OCD gets stressed because they can't do their counting ritual

Until the being with Autism Spectrum Disorder gets overstimulated at the party

No, you don't support us.

hello here to give some parent advice re: sleep

1) you could be sleeping too much. it's a thing! it's very possible you need less than eight hours

2) you could be sleeping at the wrong time - some people have delayed sleep schedules and sleep best and rest the best at different times

3) you could be waking up in the middle of a sleep cycle. the average sleep cycle is 90 minutes, if you wake up in the middle of one you might feel more sleepy (same theory as napping - either you take a 15-20 minute power nap or you sleep 90 minutes, it'll be the most refreshing)

4) your quality of sleep isn't good enough, due to pillow/duvet/sleep posture/room temperature/noise levels

5) tiredness can also come from a whole lot of other things - eating too much, eating too little, generally poor diet, stress etc

hope you wake up soon x

aww thanks so much vio!!

i’m probably not sleeping too much lol, hopefully not (i’ve gone on less than 8 hours before, not very fun) and i have the same sleep cycle as the other days, just tuesday’s and thursdays i have to wake up to an alarm which body does not like

i have been struggling to eat enough so that could actually contribute :(

my therapist suggested i imagine my intrusive thoughts in the voice of donald trump bc i do not possess an ounce of respect for him or trust in his competence. going thru it today so i made this. hope this helps

[sp1resong]

being self aware suuuucks like yeah this thought pattern/behavior is stupid and pointless and a symptom. i know this. [does it anyways

the worst part about ocd and ocd-like tendencies is that you think hyper-analyzing your thoughts and constantly psychoanalyzing yourself will fix you but that's actually part of the disorder. it's the disorder. disordering.

[dead-core]

i just need to have more rules for myself. more rules and limits. surely that will help me

I HATE MORAL OCD. well i shouldnt say hate thats a strong word. and i dont want to sound like i hate people WITH moral ocd because i dont of course. i just hate having it. but i shouldnt think that, i do like having morals, its just stressful to be thinking about them so constantly and scrutinizing every little thing i do or think. but really thats the least i could do so i should at least try, right? just because i suffer from— no, struggle with moral ocd doesn’t mean i should just stop thinking about things all together, thats not what im saying and i should make that clear, but i

dear people with OCD: the next time you have spiraling & intrusive thoughts, what-ifs, or catastrophizing scenarios, I am sending a cardigan-wearing 46-year old NYU professor directly into your brain and he says "Aaaaand scene!!!" and he claps his hands slowly. and he says "Wow. Wow. Powerful stuff. Evocative imagery. A little bit post-modern, a little bit hysterical realism in the vein of Don Delilo but let's pause right here." and you will recognize your thoughts as a perplexing avant-garde film shown to an audience of 15 liberal arts students who are now trying to get a good grade and sleep with their professor.

if you have OCD that moralistic post it not about you. keep scrolling. i love you

[werewiire]

my therapist: “you need to unlearn the belief that failing to completely explain every statement you make will cause people to misinterpret and hate you. that’s generally not how people think, and it’s just your OCD talking.”

I DESPERATELY needed someone to tell me this as I grew up in leftist online spaces. So now I am going to tell YOU:

If you

Check what you sent over and over to make sure you didn’t say a slur instead of “hello how are you”

Fear that someone will find you thinking not-leftist-enough thoughts and will call you out and ruin you

Feel you have to make your intentions clear and over-explain your actions

Find yourself consistently resisting the urge to engage in reassurance-seeking WRT being a good enough ally to marginalized people

Stay up late endlessly debating political ethics in your head

Have a set of actions that you take after discovering you made a morally wrong decision so that you can atone, which you rely on for reassurance that you are not a bad person

Would rather not make a decision at all than make a decision that is the lesser of two evils, but is not morally pure

then I am gently, but firmly, requesting that you look into moral scrupulosity OCD.

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!
