but if you're in the OCD tag looking for reassurance or chasing a compulsion, I'm gonna need you to put your phone down. go on, put it down. and i want you to say out loud,

"Maybe the thoughts are right. Maybe they're not. Either way, I will be okay."

that's all you have to do. no more googling or tag searching, you've given OCD all the attention it deserves. you can go do something else now.

• your doubt is just perceived faults, they're not actually real

• your nervous system is doing its best to protect you from harm, and sometimes everything looks like harm

• it hurts now, but it wont forever

• you dont doubt your partner, what you're doubting is the safety. after a lifetime of unsafe relationships, safety feels scary

Goes outside

Early on in Mettatenna, Mettaton can tell when Tenna is going through shit worse than usual but the TV was the more confident one back then, resulting in Mett not commenting. Worse is Tenna is going through a flare up due to his new relationship and the events of Chapter 3.

Later on, however, Mettaton learns about all Tenna's mental illness struggles (from BPD to OCD) and learns how best to work with them.
