Re: Matt, OCD - Part 1/?

I'm so glad you like it so far. <3

My OCD was so severe that I spent my 15th birthday in a psychiatrist's office for the first time. But to learn there was a name for what was going on with me was just a huge relief. I thought I was going insane before I found out I had OCD.

Back then, my OCD had a lot of aspects of scrupulosity to it-- I even thought I was possessed by a demon at one point because of the disgusting intrusive thoughts I kept having. My parents sent me to a priest before they sent me to a psychiatrist, and that sure didn't help, because I just kept saying Hail Mary's compulsively...

But my OCD mostly dealt with violent intrusive thoughts and the fear of death. I had panic attacks every time I got in a car, because I was afraid of a car crash. It was really fucking awful. I had night terrors, too, and hardly got any sleep.

I did exposure-response-prevention therapy when I was 16, and it was the best decision I ever made in my life, because it gave me the tools to live my fucking life without the overwhelming anxiety. Of course, when my OCD was no longer at the forefront, it turned out I had a lot of other mental crap to deal with. I wasn't diagnosed with bipolar disorder until I was 18. But it made so much fucking sense. These days, I have to be more careful of manic episodes than intrusive thoughts, but my OCD does sneak up on me when I'm stressed or when something on the news triggers it (like a fatal car crash or something).

Idk why I'm spilling my guts on a kink meme, oh my god, but I just wanted to share with you, since you shared with me.

Drive-by anon here. I don't have OCD but I do have a host of other mental health issues and I wish I'd been able to start addressing them in therapy when I was that age. I'm really glad you were able to find the tools to help you. And strangely I think it's a good place for this kind of confession? It's amazing how many people here who do know what it's like to have mental health problems. And like I think that's why it means so much to see prompts like this that get filled in a loving, respectful way.

(author-anon with bipolar/OCD) I am pretty lucky that I got help back then. But I have no idea what would've happened if I didn't. I hadn't gone to school in a month, at one point I hadn't eaten or slept in three days. It was so fucking awful. Apparently I was the worst case my psychiatrist had seen in years. She would have sent me to the hospital if it weren't for the fact that my parents were retired and could take care of me at home.

I'm just happy that filling a prompt that people can relate to in some way. Because I know I can't stand it when someone who hasn't done their research decides to write a character with mental illness, it just drives me up the wall (*glares at the people in my screenwriting classes*).

Hi, it's the OP. Incredibly, I am also bipolar/OCD, though I have bipolar II. And yes, I'm really glad somebody who knows what they're writing about is writing this fic. I always try really hard to actually KNOW about stuff before writing about it, even if I don't have the thing/haven't done the thing/whatever. In any case, this is great.
