Obsessive Compulsive Disorder - Blog Posts

Having OCD is so weird and silly. Like, I know that there isn't a monster under my bed who’s gonna take my feet if I stand too close, obviously, I’m a logical adult.

But like,

There is, trust me on this one.

I don't know why but one of the worst things that I experience daily is food apathy, more precisely I'd call it food hatred or food phobia. When I just do things on its own without much work, I am okay. But oh man, when I need to eat my brain gets really messed up. If you tell me I need to eat next week or 3 hours, to me that is being delivered a letter with execution date. It hurts me mentally when I got to eat, my brain slows down and I look like infected in Shikki. I have no clue why it hurts so much, maybe my brain cant handle the idea of slowing down to get extra fuel, but for me it is indeed awful.

This comic is a little different than what I usually do but I worked real hard on it—Maybe I'll make more infographic stuff in the future this ended up being fun. Hope you learned something new :)

If you are still curious and want to learn more about OCD, you can visit the International OCD Foundation's website. I also recommend this amazing TED ED video "Starving The Monster", which was my first introduction to the disorder and this video by John Green about his own experience with OCD.

The IOCDF's website can also help you find support groups, therapy, and has lots of online guides and resources as well if you or a loved one is struggling with the disorder. It is very comprehensive!

Imagine a magical modern world where everyones ability is to manifest their personality/mental state/subconscious into a physical thing, and scientists find that theres a pattern within manifestations that allows doctors to diagnose people with a simple examination of their manifestation.

Trigger warning

And everything im about to list off would be traits if their abilities, not the actual abilities themselves

They stack, but are as powerful as the impact they have on the user

Narcs' manifestation would probably have something to do with themselves, or having themselves as the center

DID would probs be the ability to manifest multiple small/weak/incomplete symbolic (or not) things representing their alters or a single materialization of something cracked/split (necromancer except they bring to life their alters)

Id imagine depression would involve an ability with the perk to draw people in, like a siren

Anxiety would involve something to do with an unnerving type sensation, sounds, vibrations, disruptions, the sense of slowed or sped up time

Bipolar, a changing, fast, or sudden type ability

Ptsd/cptsd would probably have a flashing, sudden, or jarring type ability

Schizophrenia would be hallucinogenic, (that one spiderman scene from homecoming with that bastard man showing spidey things that arent real), aoe tyoe ability

Ocd maybe would have something to do with controllingness, intrusive/invasive actions (the itrusive thoughts in ocd becomes the premise of what happens to who ever their using their ability against? Idk ocd that well)

Phobias - depending on the phobia, the way you'd deal with what your afraid of being your ability. Arachnophobia - your ability being pest amd spider resiliant, agoraphobia - your ability having something to do with being able to hide somewhere safe that youve made (small portable inner world? Invisibility??)

ED; makes the person feel the opposite of their disorder (if the user has binge eating issues, then their power would make others feel empty/hungry/hollow; anorexia or restrictive would be like overwhelming the sense with a feeling of fullness, stuffiness, claustrophobia; etc)

Disassociative having something to do with an incredible europhoric/dream feeling or with an incredibly grounding, kind of like "oh yea i just remembered my entire life situation and cant escape" type feeling

ADHD either has something to do with the inability to have others activate their powers, control them well, or consistantly.

Addiction/substance abuse would be kind of like the helplessness, constant incessant need for something, anxiety, etc

The strange phantom tickles when you touch the wall with your right hand, but don't touch it in the same place and with the same pressure but with your left hand

guy with undiagnosed OCD dating a guy with diagnosed OCD "hey does anyone have resources for information on OCD that i can print out and carry on me 24/7 and reread a lot because i am worried i will do something wrong and accidentally hurt my boyfriend and ruin his life forever if i don't know everything about OCD"

tell me if theres misinformation in here please, i used several sources but i could still be wrong

canım o kadar acıdı ki artık her şeye gülerek tepki veriyorum. insanlar bu kız delirmiş diyorlar. bilmiyorlar ki kaç gece uykusuz kaldığımı, takıntılarımın esiri olduğumu, kafamdaki sesleri susturmak için neler çektiğimi bilmiyorlar. asla bilemeyecekler. O yüzden deliyim, bir problem mi var?

OCD

I was diagnosed with OCD

...5 years ago, already. And only now discovered that. uhhh.
