POV: your therapist says “touch everything and don’t wash your hands” 😭 exposure and response prevention is HARD but avoidance only feeds the OCD. the thoughts on screen are real.
To everyone doing the hard thing today, this one’s for you 🤍 OCD lies, but we don’t have to listen.

This is What Contamination OCD Can Look Like
Contamination OCD can look like your child has difficult behavior. It can look like disrespect.
But in reality it is an effort to feel safe or comfortable in their environment.
For some kids, that can look like:
Avoidance of objects
Holding their breath
Telling others where they can sit
Using tissues as barriers
Leaving objects behind because they now feel “contaminated”
These behaviors are not about being inconsiderate or difficult.
They are attempts to feel safe when their brain is sending danger signals.
When you understand what OCD is really asking your child to do,
you can stop fighting their behavior
and teach them how to fight OCD.

Opening up about moral ocd alongside my contamination ocd. I’ve felt embarassed talking about this subtype because it is more mental for me, but figured I would share in hopes someone out there can relate ❤️🩹 #moralocd #contaminationocd #ocdawarenessmonth
most people's idea of what ocd is actually is very I ncorrect and far from the truth. and misinformation about ocd like this is why I wasnt diagnosed until 34 #ocd #ocdawareness #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #ocdrecovery #contaminationocd
whoop whoop!

I planned to make a funny OCD reel today. My feelings had other plans.
(this got more vulnerable than I was expecting)
OCD doesn’t just take the big things. It takes the small ones too. Knowing where to start. Being able to clean your own room. Feeling like a functioning adult. I’m 34 and my mom helped me today, and I’m not going to pretend that didn’t feel embarrassing. But we only get those skills back by doing them. Day 1. 💙
Before and afters, cleaning footage from each day (this will require multiple 👀), and OCD thoughts that pop up along the way to follow 😘
