OCD Awareness Thread🧵✨
Here’s a friendly reminder from ur local OCD bestie that OCD isn’t a cute & quirky trait that revolves around cleaning. OCD is debilitating. It’s a mental illness. It’s a disability. It’s a form of neurodivergence.

#ocdawarenessweek happens in October so I'll be sharing a little here about my own experience having #OCD. I got to speak publicly at The Row House Forum in Lancaster, PA a few years ago about mental illness, fear, and hope. The full audio is in the next post.

It's #OCDAwarenessWeek so I'll share poet and author Jordan Scott's very kind blurb about I THINK I THINK A LOT. It's inspired by my own #OCD.

I haven't talked about #OCDAwarenessWeek, as I've already bored you enough with my experience. I do want to emphasize how isolating & demoralizing OCD can be, and how OCD is far more complex than popular culture depicts. However, making progress and finding happiness ARE possible.

Some OCD Awareness Week reminders:
- OCD isn’t just wanting perfection & cleanliness
- OCDers can’t just “get over it”
- OCD is not an adjective for non-OCDers to use
- OCD can impact many areas of one’s life

Many assume OCD is about liking cleanliness or order, but the reality is far more complex.
Obsessive compulsive disorder involves intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviours that can cause significant anxiety and distress.
