Put this on your blog if it’s 100% alright for someone thinking about suicide to message you for a chat, even if you don’t know each other.

Self harm comes in many forms, texting you when I know you won’t reply is one of them.

*picks stars and puts in ur hair*

I'm frickin speechless my dude

“Courage is more than just a house … It’s more that we’re a movement and creating a really, really awesome dialogue in our city and making that change.“ 🌈🏡

please

[anxious-aloe]

Can you do something for me, please?

I want you to reblog this if you believe that two people can be very close and physically affectionate with one another, but still have a completely nonsexual, non-romantic relationship. 

Even if the two people in question are capable of being sexually or romantically attracted to one another. 

Because the friendship I share with someone I consider family in a way that transcends blood has been typecast as a romantic relationship ENTIRELY too many times, and I’m beginning to get sick of it.

OCD about OCD

1. The topic of OCD is brought up

2. You wonder: do I have OCD?

3. You don’t stop wondering

4. You take an OCD screening test

5. You take it again

6. You take every OCD test you can find, becoming confused because not all your symptoms line up with the test questions

7. You write down all the symptoms you can think of relating to OCD

8. You circle your symptoms, then rewrite the list so it looks neater

9. Then you rewrite the list another 5 times, because each time you think of new possible symptoms and want to put them in a certain section

10. Eventually you ask someone: do you think I have OCD?

11. They say yes, but you don’t believe them. How can you, when you don’t know how much they actually know about OCD.

12. You get a diagnosis of OCD from a psychiatrist but you’re still not sure, after all: some tests online said you didn’t have OCD, and it’s always at the back of your mind

13. There are times when you can’t research OCD and it makes you anxious, so you tap your fingers on the table to get rid of the anxious energy. It seems to help (but it doesn’t, not really)

14. You re-read the lists you have of your OCD symptoms

15. You re-read the information you saw about OCD and re-take the tests

16. You ask someone else if they think you have OCD, they’re annoyed, but you have new evidence so you HAVE to ask

17. They say they don’t know and that sends you into a panic

18. You ask someone else and they say they can’t give a diagnosis

19. You stay up late several days a week, asking people online if they think you have OCD, rewriting your symptoms over and over

20. Someone suggests you could have OCPD. You worry you were wrong all along, were you actually faking? Did you evaluate your own symptoms wrong? How well do you even know yourself?

21. Then you do the whole thing again, this time with OCPD. And stress about who you are. What do YOU know about anything? Can you trust your own mind?

22. You learn that compulsions are similar to stims. You obsess over whether or not you have autism.

23. Then tourettes, despite the fact you have no symptoms of this disorder. But since you “don’t know yourself” how can you be sure? Besides, compulsions and tics are quite similar, right?

24. The obsessing never ends. You attain new compulsions to help yourself cope.

25. It. Never. Ends.

♥ just ocd things ♥

not being able to explain why you need someone to do something, getting really angry about it, and then realising an hour later it was just your fucked up brain

people constantly teasing you for getting fixated on one little thing and then dangling said thing in your face just to wind you up

let mental/physical clutter pile up around you because you know once you start you won’t be able to stop but the fact it’s there stresses you out even more and before you know it you’re a sobbing, hyperventilating mess

people thinking ocd is just germophobia and that it’s all about cleanliness

keeping your mouth shut when people say “oh my god i’m so ocd”

keeping your mouth shut when people say “shouldn’t it be called cdo lolololol” like no because then it would be called compulsive disorder obsessive and that’s just fucking annoying stfu

constant invalidation

losing all your friends :):):)

giving into the most stupid of compulsions because you are far too exhausted for a panic attack

intrusive thoughts

“we’re all a little bit ocd”

getting really stressed when people say you’re ocd nope you’re not ocd you HAVE ocd (unless the actual disorder itself is reading this in which case i’m terribly sorry also fuck you)

the big bang theory turning the very thing that makes your life a living hell into a running gag lmao he has to knock three times it’s SO FUNNY

“why are you so stressed all the time? just chill out man”

constant invalidation

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder for the unnaflicted

It’s like, you keep gettin this pop-up notification. And it won’t go away unless you do the action it’s telling you to (sometimes not even then!) like. The x button does not work. Nothing works. You can’t get rid of it. Tap the fridge.
