its so stressful to struggle w OCD but experience more prominent obsessions than compulsions. its also fairly invalidating attempting to talk about it. . . my thoughts r constantly romanticized and its so odd. anybody else experience this?? how OCD is seen as an adjective for ‘clean-people’ and the obsession aspect of it is seen as ‘so cute ur mine’ disordered thoughts?? ☹️☹️

      yeah fr, there's so much stigma!! my dad made an ocd joke one time (yk the ones) about being clean but when i tried to tell him i had ocd and it was causing me distressing symptoms he got so pissed me. like ppl want ocd so bad for whatever stupid reason but they hate when a loved one is calling out for help bc of their ocd ??
