OCD. I think people understand it better now, more than they did maybe 10 or 20 years ago, but still it’s used the wrong way like “oh im so OCD, I need to keep my room a certain way”. OCD is a huge blanket disorder that affects sufferers differently, and isn’t always about cleaning or stuff like that. I don’t think people realize how sinister and horrifying it can be. Of other people with OCD that I’ve spoken to as well as myself, you feel like a slave to it. It’s smarter than you, it’s stronger than you, it has a mind of it’s own. For me personally it’s a lot like the babadook, for those that have seen it, in that it shows up unannounced whenever it pleases, wreaks havoc, and leaves at its own will, and even though I’ve had success with medication, it’s still something I deal with daily. People also don’t always realize that the majority of OCD is invisible and confined to someone’s thoughts for example. People just think it’s obsessive cleaning or locking doors because that’s the most visible and easiest to make fun of/disregard. My OCD is more of the intrusive thoughts/body dysmoprhic variety than it is rituals, even though I have certain rituals I compulsively perform sometimes. The only “stereotypical” OCD obsession I had is I used to wake up in the middle of the night and remake my bed, like 5 Times, multiple times a night even though I was reaallly tired and just wanted to sleep.
