This Is Definitely Too Much To Ask - Tumblr Posts

ocd's been "a good disorder" for a while.

people still use OCD to refer to the good desire to be perfect.

people still appropriate the acronym to refer to stuff they think is good ("Obsessive Coffee Disorder").

people still use "intrusive thoughts" to refer to something good.

people still think the traits of OCD are ultimately, good.

people think obsessions are good.

people think OCD is a "good" disorder that you are better off having.

OCD ruined my life multiple times, and it will continue to consume every aspect of it. OCD made me feel like i didn't deserve to be alive. OCD gave me scars on my body that i can't undo or take back.

i hear so many anecdotes, much like mine, where people with OCD thought they were fucking insane until they found out it was OCD. because in media, it looks nothing how it feels in real life.

because you all decided that i deserve to feel insane instead of seen.

for this year's OCD awareness week, i was thinking of cursing everyone to have OCD, but i realised i don't need to go that far.

could everyone just stop making these jokes? could everyone just... respect that OCD is a debilitating disorder that ruins lives? treat us with it the respect that we deserve?

that's all i need.
