Okay this is legit though. It may be hard for people who don’t have OCD to comprehend how this could be an issue but it does actually trigger a lot of intrusive thoughts and it can start eating away at the back of your brain if you don’t reblog it. And then if you do reblog it you can continue to have intrusive thoughts about scrolling back like, “That wasn’t symmetrical. You swiped up more times than you did down, etc.” It really is an issue. Because especially if you’re like me, you can’t always fix the symmetry thing and those intrusive thoughts can be nagging at you for hours and there’s nothing you can do.

ik this has probably been said countless times but hey could y’all take a second to think before you post shit like “reblog this or you’re a Horrible Terrible Person” or “reblog this or you’ll have bad luck for _______” because i know it might not seem like a major deal but trust me, when ur a person with OCD and you come across that shit it’s like,,,, not very fun to deal with

Teacher: I’ll do my best to work with students who have any sort of health issues.

Me: *misses one day due to my health issues*

Teacher: Well you were absent so it’s your responsibility to figure everything out.

Foon

I just realized that I’m going to be spending over nine years of my life bleeding. And people say women aren’t strong. I’m sorry but if that isn’t the most badass thing you’ve ever heard idk what the hell is.

I’ve seen a lot of hubbub about age gap relationships recently and I wanted to give my two cents as someone who was in an online sexual “relationship” with someone in their twenties when I was thirteen and who is now in a completely healthy age gap relationship as an adult. In fact, the healthiest, happiest relationship I’ve ever been in. Please stop telling people in age gap relationships that they’re victims or perpetrators of abuse. I don’t speak for everyone, but I personally find it to be insulting and completely dismissive of my experience. If you see signs of grooming, absolutely step in and say something, but if your only reason to think there’s some sort of manipulation or abuse is an age difference, please leave us alone. We don’t want to hear you tell us we’re a victim and we certainly don’t want to hear you accuse the person we love most of abusing us when you know nothing about our relationship. Just leave us the fuck alone. Please.

The funny thing is, the worst thing your average person on the left says about your average person on the right is that they’re bigoted or a conspiracy theorists. Meanwhile, they’re perfectly comfortable calling us baby murderers and pedophiles, and yet accuse us of judging them.

when people are like “oh so you’re just gonna judge someone for their political beliefs?” yes actually. I think someone’s values and opinions is a pretty reasonable thing to judge them for.

hmmm

Honestly!!! This is just psychological trauma in the making

A couple of other things from my experience:

Unless you know for a fact that they are comfortable with it, always ask before touching them in any way. I’ve had a couple friends trigger panic attacks that way.

If you’re in a relationship try to have some sort of code for when it is and isn’t okay to be super intimate. My ex and I had a color code for what level of intimacy I was comfortable with and he would always ask what color I was.

I often flinch and put my hands up at any sudden hand movement. Don’t get offended if someone does that. It’s just an instinctive response.

Don’t slam doors, stomp around, or make unnecessary excessive noise when possible. It can often cause anxiety attacks.

Never, and I mean NEVER, refer to someone’s anxiety/panic attacks or PTSD episodes as a “tantrum” or “fit” EVER

If I say, “can you not do that? It reminds me of my abuser.” It isn’t me comparing you to them. It’s simply me trying to let you know that whatever you’re doing/saying triggers traumatic memories.

You are not alone and it is NEVER your fault if you are a victim of abuse.

THINGS TO BE AWARE OF WHEN IT COMES TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN ABUSED: 💬

we all experience it differently, but these are the most common ones to me.

Since I grew up in a abusive household,

• I could tell the mood to the person who abused me by their steps, and I remember not being able to breathe when the person was mad because the footsteps were fast and heavy. I still get scared when people walk like that.

• I get scared when a person comes home without saying anything to me because it was what the person who used to abuse me did when they were angry at me.

• I still tip toe around the house at night on my way to the bathroom, scared that the smallest sound I make will get me in trouble.

• I jump at the slightest movement because I’m afraid it’s aimed at me after all the years of being threatened and hit.

• I never refuse to help with anything even if I can’t, because I remember what happened when I refused or didn’t answer right away.

• I am very observant because it’s how I got away from being abused for days, I see one thing outta place at home and I know that day will not be a great one. Is everything at place? a day without abuse.

• If a person gets a bit angry, starts rising their voice or looks at me with a sharp look, I feel like running away and never coming back because it’s how the person who abused me would intimidate me.

please, take these things into consideration and be aware of them, it would mean a lot to me and others who also went through the same things. don’t make fun of anyone who acts like this, you have no idea what they have gone through.

if you have other things to add, please do. it’s important to be aware of the things that might trigger people who have been or are still being physically abused. and if you know someone who’s being abused, please help them. it could do so much good for them.

and if anyone ever needs to speak with anyone, just know that you can message me and I’ll do my best to help as much as possible. I’m also here if you need a friend as well :)
