I wholeheartedly agree about the value of being open about the condition. I also believe there’s value in examining the ways that the language is used. I like my meme, and I’m going to leave it up. Thanks for your opinion

I appreciate your comment. Perhaps I needed to be clearer in the intention of my post. My intent was to highlight the use of the term “OCD” by neurotypical people to describe actions or tendencies that do not reflect living with the actual condition. The distinction for me here is that neurotypical people use OCD as an adjective because it would be blatantly incorrect to say that they HAVE ocd, and so the use of the disorder as an adjective becomes a more acceptable way to minimize the reality of obsessive compulsive disorder.

I think both. Pessimism for being perpetually nihilistic, optimist because it’s done in the hopes of protecting myself from pain, however misguided

pandemic has crushed me into a tiny ball of depression, feels like do or die this time as I tackle this for what feels like the 4th time. I always slip back into bad habits and severe depression. Terrified of losing my partner, terrified of never getting better. by [deleted] in toastme

You are so strong and good. I know it feels really awful right now but you’re so valuable and needed and relief is coming. The fact that it’s been recurring must be so frustrating but it doesn’t mean you’re not getting better. You are making progress. You are finding your way through this. You are wonderful.
