a short thread about OCD that you should take into account if you want to be mutuals with someone who has OCD (!!! my own experience !!!)
1. paraphilias
paraphilias are some of the biggest and most difficult sources of anxiety and intrusive thoughts for us, PLEASE tag them all and avoid making jokes about them!!!

2. injuries
always tag injuries and avoid posting gore without warnings!! for example i can't stand eye, nail or genitalia injuries in any way, whether it's in a meme or a news report

3. unsanitary stuff
a lot of us with OCD have intrusive thoughts about unsanitary things and we absolutely cannot stand those piss/shit/fart/cum jokes or talking about those especially without warnings

i'm on medication and the meds shut out the most intrusive, disgusting and scary thoughts. however, they can't silence all the obsessions i have and living with OCD is constant battle against anxiety whether we are on meds or not
"why are you on the internet if you're so sensitive???"
this is a mental illness that i cannot control in any way, and i have every right to be on the internet without having to see potentially triggering stuff
