As someone with OCD, I f***ing hate when people say “I had to clean because my ocd is kicking in”. That’s not what ocd is

going to a therapist who specializes in ACT/DBT has helped a ton. Doing so much better now still some rough days but nothing I can’t handle anymore

How you gonna tell me it’s not that deep then proceed to make it deeper than it needs to be?

My point starts and ends with “I don’t call women broads or b****es” Thats not even no simp s*** that’s just basic respect

You need to get a grip

completely unrelated random thought

but seeing “get a grip” reminds me of this reel about how white people used to make classic phrases back in the day but no longer do

“get a grip”, “i dont give a rats ass”, “get a load of this guy”

How did it used to affect your everyday life? I'm just curious and trying to learn.

The main form of OCD I have is related to health, what some would call “health anxiety”. Also Not the typical “pure ocd”/“contamination ocd” that’s portrayed in the media where you can’t handle the thought of germs or uncleanliness. So like constantly thinking I have a terminal illness based on sensations in my body (ex. My stomach hurts. I must have stomach cancer)

I would go through phases where I was completely not functional. Stuck in thought loops, pacing, constant researching the issue I happened to be having at any given time (that is my compulsion - researching). Stuck in my head, unable to concentrate or focus on anything else. Constantly seeking reassurance from my partner/family. Asking questions like “am i ok?” “Am I dying?” “What if I have x cancer?” (another compulsion)

You really get trapped in your head, constantly arguing with your thoughts and yourself.

It’s like having a bully in your head, constantly making you doubt yourself, talk down to you, telling you mean things. It’s really debilitating without proper treatment, whether that’s meds or specific therapy.

I went the therapy route and it’s taken like a year but I’m way better now. Still learning and have my days where it gets me but nothing I can’t handle anymore

It sounds a lil bit like hypochondria

Exactly! However, there comes a point where pretty much anything can become a “theme” of OCD. It’s more about how you handle the thoughts and the level at which you ruminate over them

Rumination = obsession
Repeated behaviors that you do to try and stop the thoughts = compulsions

So you can be someone who has health anxiety/hypchondria, but you don’t constantly call your mom every hour asking her if you are dying, you may not spend $1000s of dollars on specialists, you may not pace around your apartment for 8 hours a day researching conditions and reading about diseases on your phone, etc

That’s where ocd comes in

Edit: now I remember my therapist telling me they’ve actually started to classify hypochondria / health anxiety as a form of ocd now a days. I think they call it health ocd and hyper awareness ocd
