Welcome! This blog is a take on the classic 'ask blog' format, in which you pretty much determine the main character's life path!

This will be a mix of art and writing! Guest art is always open. Updates are not scheduled. This is not strictly set in the WC universe! Created by @rooted-clangen.

How it works...

Polls: Used to determine specific plot points. Asks: Used to guide and advise the main character. [Anytime] Comments/Reblogs: Used to suggest ideas and options to the main character. [Anytime] *Submissions/Fanart: Can possibly impact the story, if relevant. -> *Limited to specific points.

Rumination is probably the most common type of OCD compulsion, but I rarely see anyone talking about it. I've talked to multiple people diagnosed with OCD who didn't even recognize it as a compulsion.

Basically, if you have OCD you have terrible intrusive thoughts. They can be about anything, but common themes are fear of being a bad person, fear of hurting someone, fear of contamination. etc.

Rumination is when you get stuck in a spiral. Rumination is when you spend hours catastrophizing, overthinking, analyzing, telling yourself it's going to be okay.

I'll say it again:

Rumination is a compulsion.

Rumination is a compulsion, and that means you have to stop doing it.

I did ERP (exposure response prevention) for my OCD with a therapist! For 9 months! And it did help, but the idea didn't really click until I found this website a couple years later.

And Oh My God. It made things make so much more sense, and I was able to pull myself out of an episode even though I wasn't in therapy or on meds at the time.

Genuinely if you have OCD, or even if you suspect you have OCD, I'm begging you to read some of these articles.

Like this was genuinely life changing for me.

Here are some of the ones that were most helpful to me:
