i hate when people who don't have ocd call the disorder a gift. like they have no idea what it's like and would rather romanticize something instead of process that a loved one is struggling. obviously people with ocd should try to love themselves and there's benefits to the disorder like being more understanding but i feel like loving yourself and someone without ocd calling it a gift are completely different things. it undermines the persons experience and takes away their voice when they're asking for help. anyways i'll be taking meds and doing everything i can to get rid of my so called gift lol

      I felt that, it almost like they forget about the part that you absolutely have to do it. Its not just perfectionism, its so so so much more

      also if someone with ocd wants to call it a gift that's great, it's just when people without it decide to ignore someone's struggles that pisses me off
