Im So Fucking Sick Of People Saying “you Know What You Did.” Because No I Dont. I Have No Fucking

B. The obsessions or compulsions are time-consuming (e.g., take more than 1 hour per day) or cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.

sorry this isn’t in format, but i was wondering if you could point me in the right direction.

i’m questioning if i have ocd, but i can’t find any trustworthy resources, and i don’t want to harm anyone or contribute to self-diagnosis stereotypes in case i don’t have ocd

i can relate to a lot of the stuff in this and other blogs, but i don’t want it to end up that i was “faking it”

please don’t feel pressured to answer, have a nice day/night either way!

don’t worry about it! I’ve been thinking for a while about compiling a list of OCD resources, and this gives me an excuse. first up, I just want to say thank you for taking the time to do your research, and I really hope you’re able to find the resources and help that you need!

my view is that it’s important to look at a combination of offical resources and personal experiences when you’re first investigating a disorder. just looking at one or the other doesn’t really give a full image of what its like to be a person with OCD. so I hope all of this information is helpful!

where to start:

OCD UK

John Green talking about living with OCD (one is an article, and one is a video)

DSM criteria for OCD

ICD criteria for OCD

what it’s like to live with OCD

if you relate to the above:

talk to a mental health professional if possible

this is what treatment should look like

self care with OCD

if anyone has any other resources, please let me know! I’m going to link this at the top of my blog for future reference.

good luck, anon!

OCD is characterized by the presence of obsessions and/or compulsions. Obsessions are recurrent and persistent thoughts, urges, or images that are experienced as intrusive and unwanted, whereas compulsions are repetitive behaviors or mental acts that an indi- vidual feels driven to perform in response to an obsession or according to rules that must be applied rigidly. Some other obsessive-compulsive and related disorders are also char- acterized by preoccupations and by repetitive behaviors or mental acts in response to the preoccupations. Other obsessive-compulsive and related disorders are characterized pri- marily by recurrent body-focused repetitive behaviors (e.g., hair pulling, skin picking) and repeated attempts to decrease or stop the behaviors.

awhile back i mentioned a loose spiritual sequel to a loose spiritual sequel to the "enlove" story i wrote, and here it is, along-with the draft of a VN script i never finished, + some art (for the VN) by henrietta (pictured), + some of my notes from church

i love you autistics that are picky eaters. i love you autistics that dont eat vegetables. i love you autistics that dont eat foods because of the color or texture. i love you autistics who have to take vitamins because their safe/same foods dont provide enough nutrients. i love you autistics who have to look at the menu ahead of time before they go somewhere to make sure there is safe/same foods.
