@everestarves As someone who's also got that psych autism. I am soso curious as to your opinion on this !!! I don't know much about OLD / related stuff - what makes it a distinctive category & do you have thoughts on what the prevalency might be ? (Genuinely curious !!!)
I went 5 years absolutely terrified of bagels because of anorexia, then retried them last month. Now if I don’t eat a bagel at least once a week I go into withdrawal
worst part about being an American is that my favorite food is genuinely cheeseburgers. I am the target of every 'imagine a burger' joke made.
also our racist homophobic pedophile government but that's less funny
Everyone whos mentally ill should know that mental illness is real but our categorization of it is a social construct and there is infinitely more nuance to these disorders than the cut and dry definitions in the DSM. So there is no use in arguing over technicalities
My intrusive thoughts are only about petting puppies and frolicking through fields of flowers because my heart is pure and they are a reflection of everything I believe in. This is, of course, applicable to everybody with OCD.
I'll cry over spilled milk and lonely animals and old calendars and snow turning to slush and broken robin's eggshells and lost receipts and everything else
Hearing “trust your gut” is so evil with OCD. My gut is telling me the floor is going to collapse if I don’t blink in sets of 4. I’m not trusting her with ANYTHING.
Life update cuz I logged off for a month
- turned 19 a few days ago
- struggled with relapse urges at the beginning of the year, eating has been regulated
- feeling better than I have been in a bit
- probably won't be active as it's triggering :)
Take care everyone ❤️
Hai y'all I'm gonna log off for a bit. I use edtwt to trigger myself & I'm feeling strong urges to relapse despite how much happier I've been. I'm going to talk to my ED specialist so I can prevent that. Take care & happy holidays 💞
