@mehbutfae @JoLuehmann Same! Discs are so much better and easier to use!

If you never have, google “ocd religious scrupulosity” to understand how harmful evangelicalism concepts of “sin” were to those of us with intrusive thoughts.

Hey good news, everyone. That task I’ve put off for 16 months took a whole 20 minutes to accomplish from start to finish.

@sacwriter Is the past article one that we can read? :)

[Jade Frances @jadefrances4]

@janeelisabethh Ahh yes; intrusive thoughts can feel absolutely plaguing.

@thepursuinglife We were raised in environments that taught us our personal wants and needs were unimportant or selfish. When you grow up like that, joy is always bittersweet, sadly.

@exfundiediary @queenofegypt79 Well said.

Growing up evangelical taught me that my reality wasn’t safe, God wasn’t safe, my heart wasn’t safe, and my mind wasn’t safe. Not to mention, other worldviews and people groups were seen as unsafe. No wonder we have trauma manifesting as low self-confidence and anxiety disorders.

@johnathonbowers learned after a lot of counseling and support that ocd was my minds way of coping with overwhelming feelings, as it kept me out of my body and in my mind. The act of a deep breath and asking my body what I need to feel and process when I notice pure-ocd has been a game changer.

[Jade Frances @jadefrances4]

@johnathonbowers Wow, thanks for sharing! I haven’t heard of many other people talk about pure-ocd, more specifically ‘scrupulosity.’ I’d had behavior ocd most of my life that I learned to manage well, but developed pure-ocd/rumination and intrusive thoughts after some trauma and 1/2
