So apparently it& #39;s ocd awareness week and I just wanna say stupid jokes like "my intrusive thoughts are jump in puddle. Pet the frog" because you& #39;re seriously downplaying the seriousness of intrusive thoughts and just how horrible they can be
I& #39;m not gonna list what they can be, I& #39;d have to dedicate 2 whole tweets of this thread to just content warnings but it& #39;s bad. In my personal experience intrusive thoughts have made me keep relationships harder as some thoughts can make me think in a different way about
the individual or make me distance myself because I keep remembering the disgusting intrusive thought I had. With my own ocd also comes trichotillomania and dermatillonania and they make life living hell for me
I get an intrusive thought -> I stress out -> I pull my hair and pick my skin -> I am not doing what I& #39;m supposed to do (I& #39;m extremely busy and have to do work)(puts even more stress on me) -> more pulling and picking and it repeats...
I am begging people to stop using it to mean organized or clean. I am neither of those things. Many others aren& #39;t either. They CAN be symptoms for some ppl with ocd (obsessive cleanliness and a need for perfect order) but that& #39;s not for all.
Don& #39;t EVER use mental illnesses/disorders as a hyperbole. If you& #39;re sad about something that doesn& #39;t automatically mean you& #39;re depressed. Wanting/liking to he organized is not being OCD (it& #39;s not an adjective). The list goes on.
My head hurts and I wanted to rant anyway that& #39;s it......damn
