If you don’t scrub your fingertips after you touch the counter your family and friends will die and the devil will steal your soul. You pick or bite your nails and skin until you bleed. Also you’re 30 minutes late because your anxiety, compulsions, attention deficit, and executive dysfunction are obliterating your ability to get anything done. Forget 8 things, walk in and out of the doorway several times until you get it close enough to “correct” you can convince yourself you won’t get in a horrible car wreck, quiet the thought patterns that feel Dangerous, scrub your hands raw, avoid everyone on the street because they can all see your intrusive thoughts. Also God hates you and you’re going to hell, even though you haven’t been religious in years.

You also have massive, barely predictable mood swings, ranging from high-energy and agitation to depression and despair, hair-trigger and often so intense that the presentation can sometimes be confused with bipolar. Combine that with your shiny new rejection-sensitive dysphoria, and learn that any argument or someone looking at you crosswise, or failing to complete a task to perfection and the anticipation of rejection for it now makes you defensive, angry, self-loathing, and panicked.

You’re also so understimulated you can’t stop moving, you’re always bored unless you’re hyper-engaged, and if it gets bad enough you have to use all of your pathologically-limited impulse control not to start fights for no reason at all.

Try to keep your shit organized now, asshole.

These disorders aren’t just mild annoyances. There are a gazillion different presentations, and they can be debilitating.
