You Know What?? Hot Take For Y’all With OCD.

you know what?? hot take for y’all with OCD.

who gives a shit if you have bad thoughts??? like seriously—

now i do NOT mean that like “nobody cares about you or your mental illness”, i mean that like “you’re not a horrible person”.

i don’t care WHAT you have intrusive thoughts about. i’m serious. THOUGHT CRIME DOES NOT EXIST. so as long as you aren’t out there doing horrible things, it’s okay if you have horrible thoughts.

you have a disorder. and your intrusive thoughts are a symptom of that disorder. the content of your thoughts does not say anything about the quality of your character. you are not a bad person for having a mental disorder.

if you’d like to reblog this, that would be great. i’d love for more people to read this. however it’s also ok if you don’t. (reminder that telling people to reblog or else they’re horrible is very ableist to people with OCD!!)

Coming soon: The Spread.

in mesopotamia there were no 'cover letters' or 'curriculum vitaes'. there were just, pots.

my bf has many interesting stories and observations from his new job as a 911 operator

my favorite is how meandering people are, even in the midst of a terrible emergency

they respond to “what is the emergency” with “well, the thing is, four weeks ago–”

and then he’s like “WHAT IS THE EMERGENCY RIGHT NOW”

and they’re like “so what happened this morning was, i said to my wife, i said–”

“WHAT IS CURRENTLY HAPPENING AT THIS MOMENT”

“oh i’m having a heart attack”

my second favorite is how specific he has to get sometimes

like, “what is your emergency?”

“i’m sitting in a pool of blood.”

“… is it… your blood?”

“yes i think so”

“do you know where it’s coming from?”

“probably the stab wound”

“have you been stabbed?”

“oh yah definitely”

I find it kind of stupid how 'half full' vs 'half empty' is framed as an optimist/pessimist thing. If it starts full and gets halfway drained, it's half empty. If it starts empty and gets halfway filled, it's half full. If you don't know the starting state it's both simultaneously.
