OCD relatable gifs

OCD is an anxiety disorder and one that is not very well understood by mainstream media and the general populace. OCD affects approximately 3.3 million adult Americans and with additional 1 million in children and adolescents.

*Here are some 16 gifs that many OCD sufferers can relate to:




When someone asks if you're ok












When you try and avoid a thought that stresses you out












When you beat yourself up over thoughts which you have no control of:













That moment when you get so angry at ocd you yell "NO" out loud













And everyone looks at you like:














When you hit rock-bottom of the disease












When you're trying to hide from your friends that your upset from a particularly disturbing thought













When someone says they have ocd because "I always have to arrange my skittles by color"

















When someone asks why you don't just stop worrying about it















As if you could
















When someone actually understands and supports you














When the media portrays people with ocd as "everything has to be neat and stuff"






When someone in the media actually  tells OCD like it is:













When your brain suddenly attacks you with a barrage of strange and disturbing sexual thoughts












When you realize everything your ocd ever told you is false













When you finally tell your ocd straight up go away














That's all folks, I hope you enjoyed, and if you can relate, leave a comment
*(note that these are directly related to my own experience of ocd, and as there are many aspects and different obsessions to the disease, it might not be true for all.)
