great accurate thread about being #actuallyOCD. especially the ego dystonic intrusive thoughts are EXHAUSTING. haven& #39;t slept right in months bc the space between getting into bed & falling asleep which Should be blank is TERRIFYING bc it Could fill up w intrusive thoughts. https://twitter.com/shiraisinspired/status/1305226398387310592">https://twitter.com/shiraisin...

+ obvsly OCD is exacerbated as you get more stressed/anxious &depressed. Which you know, makes you less productive, fall behind more on deadlines & work, & have an even harder time falling asleep etc. it& #39;s a vicious cycle.

and of course living in a fascist late capitalist state during a pandemic, recession and climate crisis which said fascist & #39;let& #39;s privatise everything& #39; governments continue to ignore makes all this never go away. +

W OCD you need a specialist therapist. Esplly if yours is disturbing intrusive thoughts like my OCD. A therapist who doesn& #39;t get OCD can push you into a month long breakdown--which you can& #39;t afford as someone who has to pay rent/estranged from fam. This has happened to me

Great specialist therapists are hella expensive & hella booked. And therapy itself with a & #39;serious& #39; & #39;disorder& #39; can be extremely difficult even when it& #39;s going & #39;well& #39;. Meds don& #39;t agree w everyone. I& #39;ve spent about 1 and a half years of my life (different yrs) zombie& #39;d bc of meds.

Anyway idk what the point of this thread was. I& #39;m SO tired all the time AND I& #39;m STILL better off than the majority of people in our country with psychosocial disabilities (a & #39;fun& #39; series I& #39;ve been reporting on). I HATE it here.
