fuck OCD.

fuck obsessions. fuck compulsions. fuck intrusive thoughts. fuck uncertainty. fuck constant shame. fuck constant guilt. fuck constant anticipation. fuck the sense of impending doom. fuck ruminating. fuck reassurance seeking. fuck checking. fuck the exhaustion. fuck mental torment. fuck being stuck on everything. fuck not being able to let things go. fuck stigma. fuck fear. fuck isolation. fuck desperation. fuck misery. fuck feeling like the most vile creature on this planet. fuck not being able to control your mind. fuck the temptation of humoring the obsession. fuck "what ifs". fuck the belittling. fuck the countless days and nights spent trying to figure something out for sure. fuck mental reviewing. fuck mental anguish. fuck not being able to ever fully let your guard down.

writing code with ocd is hard

i made the above "microblog" on applicable platforms but seriously. i spend so much time and brainpower trying to keep my code's logic and especially synax clean, aligned, organized and ✨perfect✨ that it's genuinely extremely mentally draining and makes me work a lot slower :<

and i dont know what to do! i wish i could just write messy shitty code that "just works" with bad names and ugly syntax. but that freaks me out !! and instead i have to polish everything until it's as readable as possible, plus trying to align everything across lines

sometimes i can kind of shake the need for perfection when working on a time limit but that just stresses me more. i want to enjoy programming but ugh. ocd makes it suck. seeing ugly variable names makes me feel ICKY and Drained !!

anyway let me know if you

experience this too

have any ideas about how to Not experience this

The Day Before

I’m starting at an inpatient mental health facility and I know it’s been needed for a few years now but I’m a bit scared. I’m trying to go into it with hopefulness and a positive attitude. I’m glad that there will be people there to help me 24/7 but the day before seems so weird. I’m packing up my stuff and I have to think about every small thing.

I am scared that I won’t get better but I’m also scared that I will. Because I don’t know how to not self-sabotage. Anyways, I’ll keep y’all updated on how it goes since they allow phone usage once a day.

CORE FEARS IN #OCD

OCD is never just about OCD. It’s often about what’s underneath the obsession. What are we really afraid of? When you look underneath the obsession, you often find the core fear, the thing that you were afraid will happen if your obsessions come true. Meaning, we’re not really running from our obsessions we’re running from what it might mean for us. With OCD attacking the things we care about and love the most, it makes sense that it would use our core fears to make us believe they are possible of coming true. However, I find it quite interesting that in order to beat us OCD has to come up with a wild obsession. Something we’ve never thought about before, or ever really cared about before OCD latched onto it to make us feel afraid. I find knowing the core fear helpful because it starts to pull off the disguise OCD is using to keep us engaged. Once we know it can become easier to recognize the true reason we’re scared!

Having ocd while traveling is fun because I’m 90% sure that I said the right room number when asking for some extra towels, but also I do not remember and am feeling less and less confident about it by the second and resisting the urge to call again and double check.

Bruh I accidentally clicked on a poll while I was scrolling and it was for the best anime series, but I have no idea what series I just clicked is and I don’t know if it’s gross or not hcfgvfyh just take this that clarification that I have no idea what I just clicked and it does not reflect my opinions. I don’t think my votes are even public I would just feel sick if I didn’t clarify.

[haunt3dgrasshopper]

which one is the clarity? when im thinking logically i feel like i have found clarity. when im having a flare up or something i feel like i've discovered clarity that i want nothing to do with. what am i supposed to believe???

OCD awareness is needed, because the ableism we experience in society is so absurd.

Long distance bf and I have been together for 6 months, it’s not getting better with this ocd or if it’s even ocd.

I feel like I don’t love him genuinely, that he’s the wrong person for me, I sometimes feel like he’s the kind of person that would threaten or make me feel bad that he’d do smth harmful to himself if I leave him.

Context was that we had an argument a month before, it was bad. I didn’t reply to his text messages cause I was really mad and so frustrated. We mostly chat in messenger and we have gc in discord and I got a notif from one of our friends complimenting his new pfp. I checked to see he changed his to this anime girl with a rope around her neck and I got anxious. (She didn’t realized there was a rope around the girl’s neck or didn’t see clearly).

I called him, he picked up on the second call and it was around 3-4am his time. Told him to change it, he was sleepy- wasn’t mad but in a sad tone said okay. He took it off but didn’t changed it till the next day.

He reasoned that he’d never do that kind of thing but wanted to remind himself that what he did was smth he should felt bad with and has changed his pfp to that kind way before we met so it wasnt on me.

I wasn’t reassured but he tried to for like three times I’ve asked, he did booked a therapist and said he really did want to change his ways.

I have a hard time believing if he changed the pfp just out of pity for me so I wouldn’t leave, but everytime he says I’m not the reason cause of it. I still think of the latter.

I’m a lot scared, I try not to question much cause I know even I can be overwhelming based from past relationships.

He gets depressed at times and his therapist said he’s showing signs of ADD and complex PTSD. I try to be more compassionate and empathetic but the pfp still lingers on my mind.

The Morning Of

I have six hours until I leave for my residential program.

Things I’m feeling:

• Scared

• Anxious

• Uncertain

• Sad

• Restless

I hope this will give me what I need and, in time, I’ll look back and be thankful that I took this step. But I’m sitting here wide awake now and thinking about how I’ll miss my family, my boyfriend, and my cat immensely.

I’m scared because I’ve tried so many different medications. Scared because I’m on an ‘addictive substance’ since it’s the only thing that’s helped me in the last three years. Scared because I react so strongly to new meds. Scared because I don’t fit in a box and that normal treatment or SSRIs don’t necessarily work for me. I hope this place is willing to think outside the box for me.

I won’t be able to update for three days since they don’t allow phone use the first three days but hopefully I’ll have more to report on when I log-on next.

Emotions OCD Actally Causes

Madison: Now don’t get me wrong OCD DEFINITELY causes anxiety but more than just anxiety keeps us stuck. I remember vividly near the end of my spiral I was no longer anxious but more frustrated and sad that I couldn’t just “stop”. And lo and behold that was also keeping me stuck. This disorder is sneaky. It will always try to find ways to keep you stuck and without know what it’s using it’s harder to know what’s OCD!

TW: contains quote that could trigger relationship OCD or anyone that struggles with doubt abt how they feel

i hate the idea of "people don't abandon the ones they love" - because that is simply not true. it's okay to choose your own well being over someone you love. it sucks absolute ass trust me but it doesn't mean you didn't love them it just means you put yourself first

i get its to motivate the people that were left behind and teach them to value themselves more than someone that left. but you also have to consider the people that had to learn to let go of something they were desperately holding onto in hopes of things getting better. both parties get fucked in the situation. both sides can coexist and be equally shit

i say this because i have OCD and that idea is harmful to me. i struggled with relationship OCD while i was in their life and i still do. "people don't abandon the ones they love" just further pushes the doubt
