COME CLOSER AND I'LL WHUP YA WITH LEAD!

racism ocd is so fucking insidious, this fucking Brain Mite will tell you you're racist so you read up on antiracism and feel terribly guilty about yourself. so this fucking Brain Mite goes and says that's White Guilt and that is also bad, lmao. and when you do nothing but beat yourself up for everything, that is also bad because you're doing nothing but beating yourself up.

Oh yea I feel ya. My racism ocd usually takes the form of "what if you attacked people of color you see on the street" or "what if you just started blurting out slurs" or "what if you were accidentally racist to someone" or, my least favorite, the "actually your art secretly contains several racist tropes/implications and that is super harmful".

And then I go on tumblr and see posts about "white guilt" and I understand they're not about me but my ocd sure doesn't.

Thanks for being brave enough to talk about it in my inbox, anon /gen

"Lol I love being organized, I'm so ocd" yeah well I'm scared I will brutally attack a black person I randomly see on the street because I'm secretly a virulent racist.

society if i saw a single post about racism and unlearning it that acknowledged racism ocd

Shoutout to my fellow racism/ableism/other prejudice ocd havers. Nobody ever talks about us but I hope we all hang on despite this

this site's all support neurodivergent people until something completely unconsequential and basic happens then it's all "thats a bad omen!!!!!" jokes

shoutout to people whose ocd manifests in uncommon ways. who have less common or more taboo obsession themes, or rare variants of themes that you don't see talked about often. you are still loved and deserve help just as much as the folks with more typical themes (which are the ones most often talked about online)

Idk who needs to hear this today but your obsessions are not your "secret desires" or "prophecies" or "legitimate concerns" or whatever. They are literally a five course meal of Fear your neurochemistry is serving to you.

(Also they are not parts of your "hidden magical unconscious" either! If you're thinking about them all the time then clearly they ain't "un" conscious!)

I hate having OCD its like fucking whack a mole.

The moment I manage to shut up the guy telling me "Ermmm Actually There's Going To Be A Nuclear War Soon And Everyone Will Die And It's The End Times And You Are A Prophet Of God. Source: Trust Me Bro" several more guys telling me "That Bird Is A Drone Spying On You" or "The Smog Is So Thick You Will Get SUPER Lung Cancer And Die" appear

i guess this is vent art sort of? anyways look at these weirdos

i know there's several ocd creatures already but i didn't vibe with any of them so here's mine. its name is smh creature. it moves around by hiding into the ground and then reemerging (at the worst possible moment) but can also slide around.

having hyperphantasia: oh this is great i can imagine Anything

having ocd: aw shit this sucks

having hyperphantasia AND ocd:

i basically never see people acknowledging this but massive shoutout to people with disaster or "end of the world" type ocd, religious or otherwise.

i promise you, if you haven't predicted anything ever in your life (like me haha), you probably aren't going to predict the apocalypse. not everything you see or hear is a "sign", your brain is just evolved to seek patterns even where there aren't any. your actions are not responsible for the injustices and mistakes of the world.

your intrusive thoughts aren't visions, it's just your brain being a little shit and visualizing your fears.

there is a better tomorrow, and maybe a lot of time will pass until we get there, but you will be there for it.
