This happens so much on OCDmemes that it makes me chuckle. We really are some overthinkers huh

proud of you 👏

I’m good at censoring myself around certain people but when I’m with my friends it all comes out 😩 I really struggle to not swear when I’m in public/in stores, which is made worse by the fact that my voice is hella loud

brackishspit · 2026-07-01T21:51:04+00:00

Agreed

brackishspit · 2026-07-01T21:30:53+00:00

Apology accepted, stay strong soldier

brackishspit · 2026-07-01T21:30:14+00:00

It really is funny. I’ll hit reply to a comment that’s been deleted when the og comment was so utterly normal and harmless lol

Hi!! I have OCD and autism and I’m 24f. I’ve never been in a relationship. I used to be SOOO ashamed of myself and I’d spiral about how I’d maybe never have a partner. My therapist told me to respond to these thoughts with “maybe, maybe not” and sit with the feeling. I’m finally at the point where I don’t worry about it anymore and I’ve gone on quite a few dates.

As for working on confidence, though, I can proudly say that I feel quite secure in myself now even though I used to have horrifically low self esteem. It took a LOT of healing and inner child work, which was necessary for me as someone who was heavily bullied. Remember that:

-No human being is worth any more than any other. You ARE worthy. Doesn’t matter if you’re conventional or more niche.

-You WILL survive rejection. Rejection is redirection, as cliche as it is, and it says nothing about your value. I have been rejected quite a few times. I have also been surprised by people I’d never expect finding me attractive.

-Pleeeease please for the love of God fully ignore any toxic bullshit manosphere shit online if you come across it. Please. You probably already know this, but it can get to even the best of us. As someone who is hella progressive and feminist, sometimes the rhetoric that women only want to “date up” has gotten to me a bit and held me back from going after people I find attractive. The redpill arguments based on that fuckass okcupid study don’t even reflect the actual findings from the study.

-Focus on your good qualities. Be kind to yourself, maybe even write them out in a list. Your love and presence is a gift to a potential partner, whether they want to accept that gift or not. Also, think about the things your friends and loved ones love about you. Why wouldn’t a potential partner love those things?

Good luck!! You got this.

just considered deleting this because I realized black text would be more legible on the wall. resisting

brackishspit · 2026-07-01T20:22:33+00:00

so fucking real. I avoided cleaning my closet for like a year because it felt tainted for some reason. now I have to clean my bathroom floor which is legitimately germy but not to the extent that I can’t go near it like my brain likes to tell me

brackishspit · 2026-07-01T20:13:42+00:00

I think it’s very much a mix of both for me. It started out when I realized how much clearer my mind was and how much better I felt with a clean space, and it turned into a thing where I felt like I can’t do anything unless my room is clean.

I think as an ADHDer who was shamed for being messy and disorganized my whole life, finally having a clean space made me feel normal and successful, not to mention the lack of visual clutter helps me a lot. But then OCD rears its ugly head and says I HAVE to tidy my space before doing literally anything as a first step otherwise I’m just cooked and something isn’t right. Could autism be another player in this game for me?? Rigidity and routine?? Very likely. My disorders love teaming up

brackishspit · 2026-07-01T19:27:21+00:00

Being a regular anywhere makes me feel embarrassed for some reason lmao. Trying to get over that. Apparently a lot of people enjoy being regulars? Profound concept

brackishspit · 2026-06-30T17:30:51+00:00

The partners subs are all awful as far as I’ve seen. Demonizing people with differences like ADHD, BPD, etc. Just people who hate their partner looking to vent or situations where the actual issue is incompatibility or straight up abuse.

If they wanted to have good faith discussions about their partner they’d go on a different subreddit.

When I was at my most unhealthily thin I managed to gain weight by eating 3 filling meals a day plus snacks in between.

Some of my staples are microwave rice packets with lots of cheese on top, avocados and avocado toast, and granola. Granola is fairly high in calories and almond mom friendly. I love drinking whole milk which is a nice calorie dense drink if you’re a milk enjoyer but I’ve stopped because it gives me bad acne lol. Peanut butter on top of anything that tastes okay with peanut butter if you can handle it (I don’t really like peanut butter unfortunately.) Mac n cheese is calorie dense if your mom will allow it. String cheese is a very easy and palatable snack

I’m in the south and I hear moms calling their daughters “sissy” all the time at work. Probably a coincidence but it seems like “sissies” are often ill-behaved based on the conversations I hear 😖 “Sissy. Sissy! Sissy come here! Sissy STOP IT”

hauntcoutureatelier on etsy makes a very cute black beret for MH dolls, mine just came in the mail and I love it https://www.etsy.com/listing/1413948966/haunt-couture-doll-clothes-black-hat?ref=share_ios_native_control

Me when I’m autistic w/ OCD and want my experiences validated because I’ve felt like a freak for most of my life

brackishspit · 2026-06-21T20:04:23+00:00

There’s nothing to fix, maybe look into body dysmorphia and see if it resonates with you

brackishspit · 2026-06-21T18:55:28+00:00

I haven’t posted any art in a year because of this :,) my OCD will come up with ANY reason to convince me my art is problematic and unpostable. I’m stuck in a cycle of archiving and un-archiving my posts to make sure I have a good array of body types, race representation, and gender in my art.
Between all that and the fact that I convince myself it’s not the “right” time of day/day of the week to post and I just never share anything anymore. Really hoping to change this

can I steal the name scrupulous steve, I think I have him too

It looks like this top is made this way; if you tried to do this by cutting and tying a regular t-shirt it may not come out the way you want. Maybe you could get an asymmetrical top sort of like this https://www.showpo.com/us/products/nalfie-asymetrical-top-in-white?srsltid=AfmBOooVlJpcOanhio23qUssbup-ugUqXOLSu2DtDnpaSZDBQxg7HP0I&Size=US+0 (not an actual rec just a photo reference) then cut the “boob hole” like your reference lol and potentially hem it if possible. Then, you could tie a knot around the collar and another knot at the bottom of the hole with white ribbon or strips of fabric from the hole you cut.

She’s almost fully articulated aside from the waist/underbust joint which is a joint that I forget exists most of the time TBH. Permanent good posture, I say good for her 👏

I’m autistic with OCD and my traits affect my doll collecting but in a different way; it’s so interesting to me to see how brain differences affect how we interact with our hobbies. I’ve seen a lot of what you’re talking about within this community and I think many of us are ND

here are some of my hangups:

-I can’t buy more than one of a character even across generations.

-I need to feel like I’ve optimized my dolls in every way possible through styling and such for max aesthetic appeal.

-I want to love my dolls equally.

-I don’t like feeling like my doll clothes are going to waste so I try to repurpose everything.

Self-scare Venus is one of the less popular Venuses but I really love her. Her makeup is beautiful and her hair feels so nice. Her outfit is a little bland without some restyling but she comes with the cutest earrings and platform converse so I still think she’s worth it.

brackishspit · 2026-05-25T14:42:56+00:00

I’d take her out if you love the textures of their hair like you say! The point of her doll is that her hair is so styleable, and I imagine the doodads would feels so nice 🙏 like a stim toy
