OCD sucks

fyi, my main blog is @conciergeof-pancakes, and i forget that replies show up as that one and not this blog, so if someone w that username replies to you on my posts or reblogs, that’s me.

i get gorey intrusive thoughts in response (like punishment) to my other bad intrusive thoughts. is it just me?

I always feel so guilty after I ruminate on an intrusive thought. I know the thought itself is intrusive but I feel like a bad person for even thiking about it and trying to disprove it. I feel like I can’t trust what I tell myself.

[CW: Period mention] I have question for the community in general (and/or you, if it applies lol): Have any of your period having followers noticed that OCD gets worse at points during their cycle? I've noticed my intrusive thoughts cycle from debilitating to just annoying over the course of a few weeks, and I'm wondering if it's related to my period. It could be something else, but it seems like a likely explanation, and I'm curious if anyone else has noticed something similar. Thank you!

hey!!! so I’ve been reading your blog, and I’ve seen a lot of people who are understandably really really struggling with ocd. mine got bad at 13, and it’s been a really tough ride but at 20 I manage my symptoms better than I ever thought I could. I’ve been on a couple medications, but I finally found one that works so I just wanted to give assurance that while I still have lots of ticks and bad days, you can absolutely get better at living with it, and it will lessen the hold it has on you :’))
