idk, just quickly wanna say everyone with OCD experiences it differently. don& #39;t take one example as how it works for everyone. people may have an issue with germs or hand washing. may run up and down the stairs 8 times to prevent their mum from dying of cancer, may randomly -- https://twitter.com/tacosinthesnow/status/1276607924572434432">https://twitter.com/tacosinth...
-- touch things in a certain way at a certain force at a certain time at a certain pace at a certain continuous beat (for example-) as giving in to their urges. OCD is very confusing and it& #39;s not as simple and trivial as it& #39;s made out to be. it could take over people& #39;s lives. --
-- it& #39;s not a case of "i like tidying uwu". although it may be a case of tidying your room, then feeling constant anxiety that it& #39;s not tidy enough so going around constantly all the time and changing or moving things to make it more "tidy", although it never truly satisfies --
-- you. as someone who suffers from OCD, it controls my whole life to the point that i never really notice it, while it constantly has my attention at the same time. but because i don& #39;t have it in the way where i& #39;m just like "tidy room

-- for me), people don& #39;t recognise it, nor do they take it seriously. if you, the person reading this (assuming you don& #39;t have ocd), were to live as me for a day, the stress, pain and suffering you would go through would constantly be noticeable to you. it& #39;s just my life. --
-- and without a doctor& #39;s diagnoses to shove in someone& #39;s face, they will go and assume i& #39;m either lying about it, or the nonsense thing of "everyone experiences OCD". no trixie, just because you don& #39;t like that uneven floor tile it doesn& #39;t mean it "give you OCD". --
-- ah yes, an uneven tile temporarily gives you a serious mental illness. of course.
the fact that i don& #39;t have a diagnoses doesn& #39;t cancel out the fact that this interferes with my life CONSANTLY. EVERY SECOND. OF EVERY DAY. i am not exaggerating, so please take it --

-- seriously for once. i think people also tend to forget that the diagnosed people were still suffering from what they were diagnosed with BEFORE they could say "yeah i& #39;m diagnosed".

i may not have any sort of problem with germs, but i still count every syllable of everything i hear, --
