REBLOGS FOR THE CAKE

[PT: What kinds of posts trigger moral & checking OCD (and psychosis)? /End PT]

So many people write and reblog posts that have very direct triggers towards folks with moral & checking OCD. Here are posts NOT to make/reblog.

To get the terminology out of the way - moral OCD is a condition in which a person becomes obsessed about doing something "morally wrong", and develops compulsive behaviors over it. Checking OCD is a condition in which a person becomes obsessed over checking over their own (or others) actions, as to avoid a perceived disaster, and develops compulsions around it.

Do NOT make/reblog posts with phrases such as:

"Reblog/donate/share or else you are letting me/someone I know die/suffer." "Reblog or else you're [insert bad thing]"/"Reblog if you're not [insert bad thing]"

^If it is an urgent donation post that you feel deserves to be shared, at the very least, add "tw reblog bait" and "tw OCD trigger."

"Reblog/like/comment/share or else [insert creature] will find you/stalk you/come into your house/etc" "[Insert thing] is coming to your location. You cannot stop it. It will be outside your window soon"/"[Insert thing] is in your walls."

^These ones can also trigger hallucinations, delusions, and paranoia in people with schizospec disorders/psychosis! It may seem like a "haha funny meme" to you, but to people with OCD or psychosis, they could fret heavily over this, and wonder if they are going to be in danger if they don't reblog/like/comment/share.

"It is illegal to be/have [insert thing here]." (Example: "It is illegal to be nonqueer during pride month", "it is illegal to have internalized ableism during disability pride month", etc.)

If we can't trust it to even verify our face or other things correctly.

Then why are people trusting it with their HIGHLY sensitive info like their IDs/selfies/passports/creditcards/etc.???

My mother was one of the no-junk-food moms. But parenting has an expiry date, and do you know what I did as soon as I was no longer supervised?

I ate potato chips for lunch at work every day for all of my first job. And all of my first year of trade school. Not potato chips with lunch; potato chips and nothing else for lunch.

Banning kids from something that's not always good for them:

Has a time limit. Your kid will grow up. You won't be able to enforce the ban on an adult.

Gives them no practical experience on how to manage their relationship with that thing when they get unrestricted access to it.

Makes that thing incredibly attractive to them. Even if it kinda sucks.

Makes them sneaky about it, meaning they won't come to you for help if it becomes a problem for them.

My mother wanted healthy kids who didn't eat junk food. What she ended up with in the short term was little goblins who stole baking chocolate from the top cupboard and kept bags of chips they bought off friends hidden under their beds. What she got in the long term was adults with no idea how to regulate their own diets and a mountain of shame about eating anything that tastes good.

But the kid are absolutely unfazed, arguing that "it's alright they will be together again soon". The normie are so sad for the "children clinging to vain hopes" until Morticia and Gomez get married again two weeks after the divorce.

In the meantime Mama and Uncle Fester fight about which one of them will go to whose custody.

They pretend to argue in court and at meeting with lawyers over the splitting of the properties but that's mostly Gomez insisting to leave more and more thing to his wife in an angry voice.

At home they decided not to talk to each other so Lurch has to (begrudgingly) transmit messages from one to the other, even when they are sat on either side of the table.
