Kyosai Kawanabe’s Sleeping cat (Collection of Museum of Fine Arts, Boston)

As I’m sure many of you can relate to, scrolling past a “manifestation” post almost always results in my heart stopping momentarily… followed by my OCD embarking on the biggest rollercoaster known to man. In other words, I end up triggered, distressed, and bedbound for the rest of the day (the above description of events are, at best, an understatement). So let’s break it down. “Manifestation” is neither an accurate nor helpful concept that can be applied to anyone within the OCD community. Manifestation is routed in intention, which fundamentally, contradicts the ego-dystonic nature of OCD. It’s important to note that OCD will use anything that subscribes to it’s narrative as bait for its own benefit. Main message of this post: not every post that you read could or should be made relevant to OCD
