I hate how “oh I’m so OCD” is so normalized when I (OCD) can’t do much because contamination fear and have the worst thoughts about myself like I’m a p..do even tho I know I’m not. OCD is more than being neat or number obsession a lot of the time

Or when I’m trying to explain a compulsion to a friend i’m not super close to and say smthn like “sorry, i have ocd” and they’re like “i get it I’m so ocd about *insert thing*”

Yesss and it’s like their pens being straight or something like that. Like I personally can’t let my hand hand out the car window because I have to constantly talk myself down from pulling the handle even while we are moving 😭 like girl it is not the same as wanting to have even eyeliner

Me being convinced I have to make myself throw up or i’m going to asphyxiate is not the same as “needing” the car volume to be an even number 🫩
