"If you think hateful thoughts about yourself, and you're queer, that's queerphobic, and it's illegal to be queerphobic during pride month!"
How about we not make straight queers* feel guilty and paranoid about being "not queer enough" during pride month? (*Aspec straights, trans & gender diverse straights, intersex straights, lesbihets, turihets, m-specs straights, polyamorous hets, nonrose hets, etc, etc, etc?)
How about we not make people with internalized queerphobia feel guilty for intrusive thoughts?
How about we stop making a billion posts encouraging moral OCD during pride month?

This blog is intended as a safe space for all ocd discussion, as somebody who has been diagnosed my whole life and had extremely violent OCD since I was a child.
For those with OCD, I hope this blog can be a place to safely share your
vents/intrusive thoughts
confessions/takes
positive and negative experiences
experiences
and simply share a space with those who can hear you.
For those without OCD or those uninformed, I will gladly also answer asks about
medical questions
experience questions
confessions/takes
examples of asks:
"Hi, I had (this experience with ocd) today. I dont want advice, I just wanna share. -anon."
"Hi, im an author, how do i write ocd compulsions respectfully?"
"Hi, I have (type)ocd, can others with (type)ocd tell me if they relate to (thing)?"
but please note, i do not speak for everyone. I suggest if you want info, you turn on the notifs for the post with your ask and allow others to insight you as well.
My name is Wright, I've had extreme OCD my whole life, and it has disabled me in every function of the word. As a child, I would have panic attacks and meltdowns over other kids "putting their pencils on the desk wrong", I had violent intrusive thoughts about things I didn't want, I convinced myself I was diseased, was extremely paranoid, and worst of all did not understand what was happening.
I was removed from the public school system when I was a child because I was "unstable" and depressed in elementary, which led to me being isolated and violently abused with no support. My abuse made my OCD worse, giving me constant and hard to logic episodes about my own morality. My anxiety and panic over things being out of order became full shutdowns or moral episodes over walking through doors with the "wrong foot", not touching the counter exactly four times, or biting my food unevenly.
I skipped middle school, then half of high school. I went for one year and was so unable to function I left again, was held back multiple grades, and still am.
OCD has ruined many aspects of my life and I am not shy to say it disables me, but it also doesn't ruin me. It is shockingly little of my personality, in fact.
I am a writer, I draw occasionally, my special interest is a rock band from the 2000s, and I am extremely knowledgeable in snakes. I like the color orange, Marvel, lukewarm weather, reptiles, cold war legalities, and blueberry espresso.

"OCD thrives by inflating even the faintest possibility until it feels urgent and unavoidable. This relentless focus on "what if" keeps the cycle of obsession and compulsion alive. Debating the likelihood of your feers or seeking reassurance doesn't weaken OCD's hold; it may even strengthen it by reinforcing the belief that the possibility, however remote, deserves attention and action"
Ocd culture is desperately wanting to explain yourself excessively when its not necessary in hopes that it somehow makes you appear more like everyone else.
What kinds of posts trigger moral & checking OCD (and psychosis)?
[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.)
^Once again, this may seem like a funny meme to you, but instead, it just tells people with moral OCD that their existence is wrong, or that their intrusive thoughts are a crime (thought crimes are not real!)
