View submission: People miss identifying disabilities are a root cause of why so many people don't believe actual disabled people

CONTENT WARNING FOR OCD INTRUSIONS. DON'T READ IF YOUR OCD PICKS UP OTHER PEOPLE'S INTRUSIONS. _______________________________

There are people with OCD who spend entire nights checking their doors, windows, ovens. Flicking their lights on and off so it feels right, repeatedly doing motions until it feels right.

There are people with OCD who spend hours ruminating in a panic attack that they might have a paraphilia, that they might have hurt someone but don't remember, that they might have done something horrible, that they might've accidentally stolen.

There are people with OCD that are haunted by the most horrid images you could imagine but 10x worse than that.

There are people with OCD washing their hands until they rot because they are " never clean ".

People who think they have this disorder to not know what OCD really is and consists of, and that is such a good thing. Nobody should have to experience it. I personally don't have an OCD diagnosis but I have a lot of awful thoughts similar to how OCD functions.
