A. Presence of obsessions, compulsions, or both: Obsessions are defined by (1) and (2):
Recurrent and persistent thoughts, urges, or images that are experienced, at some time during the disturbance, as intrusive and unwanted, and that in most individuals cause marked anxiety or distress.
The individual attempts to ignore or suppress such thoughts, urges, or images, or to neutralize them with some other thought or action (i.e., by performing a compulsion). Compulsions are defined by (1) and (2):
Repetitive behaviors (e.g., hand washing, ordering, checking) or mental acts (e.g., praying, counting, repeating words silently) that the individual feels driven to per- form in response to an obsession or according to rules that must be applied rigidly.
The behaviors or mental acts are aimed at preventing or reducing anxiety or dis- tress, or preventing some dreaded event or situation; however, these behaviors or mental acts are not connected in a realistic way with what they are designed to neu- tralize or prevent, or are clearly excessive. Note: Young children may not be able to articulate the aims of these behaviors or mental acts.
sorry this isn’t in format, but i was wondering if you could point me in the right direction.
i’m questioning if i have ocd, but i can’t find any trustworthy resources, and i don’t want to harm anyone or contribute to self-diagnosis stereotypes in case i don’t have ocd
i can relate to a lot of the stuff in this and other blogs, but i don’t want it to end up that i was “faking it”
please don’t feel pressured to answer, have a nice day/night either way!
don’t worry about it! I’ve been thinking for a while about compiling a list of OCD resources, and this gives me an excuse. first up, I just want to say thank you for taking the time to do your research, and I really hope you’re able to find the resources and help that you need!
my view is that it’s important to look at a combination of offical resources and personal experiences when you’re first investigating a disorder. just looking at one or the other doesn’t really give a full image of what its like to be a person with OCD. so I hope all of this information is helpful!
where to start:
OCD UK
John Green talking about living with OCD (one is an article, and one is a video)
DSM criteria for OCD
ICD criteria for OCD
what it’s like to live with OCD
if you relate to the above:
talk to a mental health professional if possible
this is what treatment should look like
self care with OCD
if anyone has any other resources, please let me know! I’m going to link this at the top of my blog for future reference.
good luck, anon!
だって、私はレインじゃない?
i love you autistics who can't control their volume . i love you autistics who struggled with/never understood "inside voice" . i love you autistics that yell to communicate their wants and needs . i love you autistics that stim loudly . i love you autistics who make noise .
we are loved . we deserve to be heard and accommodated for .
I feel like life was very black and white as a kid. There were straightforward rules everywhere; posted signs and adults telling us to do this, don't do that, say this, respond this way in this situation. But the older i get the grayer life gets. Situations are complex and have good and bad mixed. Right and wrong is subjective. No one taught me how to live in between points on a spectrum.
Being undiagnosed with Autism for so long (like into your 20s) is incredibly debilitating. Because when you start making AdultTM decisions, & try to assert your independence, everyone considers you illogical. Then you start throwing a fit - or in my case angry crying - and seem to prove everyone’s point of how irresponsible you are. It’s really not that. I’m just hate being misunderstood & told that my ideas are stupid, when they make perfect sense. Even if the WAY I’m doing something is wrong, I’ll do what I want as long as the end result is legal & positive.
