I want to make this journal to help spread some awareness of this mental illness and how it has affected me personally,
I hope it helps you if you are also suffering, even if you just get the validation that you aren't alone!
If you feel I have expressed your symptoms better than you could have feel free to share this with family, friends or your doctor.
what OCD isn't
OCD is not wanting things to be neat and tidy and 'perfect', unless that is the obsession specifically. Most sufferers have to battle for control with themselves and can spiral in to depression which has the usual symptoms of not taking care of themselves or their surroundi

Autism and not understanding jokes
Hi Everyone!
This is something I want to talk about, since a lot of people don't really understand why I often don't get jokes/sarcasm/irony (and other things, i will address them later). I am sure a lot of other autistic peeps can relate to what I am going to explain, but I want to be sure; this is for me specific! Not every autistic person feels and thinks the same, so this isn't a cheat sheet to understand every autistic person ever.
1. The meaning of words
First of all, let's talk about how speech works!
Usually, everytime someone says something, it has several layers of meaning
- Layer 1: what is literally said
- Layer 2: a second m

This might be upseti for people, so please if you don't like upsetti - run! Run far away. I wrap you in a blanket of comfort and affection. Be free!
I have had a lot on my mind all year and I have wanted to write something feel good about the importance of love and genuine kindness, based around my experience in the last 4 years. I feel like this is a topic that comes up daily in my life and my impact might be small but if this helps literally even one person then I would feel like I did something of value. While writing this it was a lot harder than I anticipated so forgive me if it is wordy, repetitive, or too first person. It is hard not

Love Letter for Heartache. (WTA- Love Stories)
This goes to you,
I saw you again today, shining like I remembered,
I’m so proud of you, we were something to be proud of,
But now, seeing you, breaks my heart,
The walls I thought I had built, crash down to the ground, crushing, grinding to dust.
I watch the ashes of my heart blow upon the winds as I look at you again,
Yet I come back, because I love you.
I hold your stories next to my heart,
Yet they do not keep it from breaking,
I love how you make me feel, how you made me feel,
I start to feel it again and remember how much it hurts to know,
That everything I do for you, is only ever supposed to be for me,
I am nothing to you, and
People go about things in their own way (pronouns) by shortybat, journal
People go about things in their own way (pronouns)
This is something I talked about on Twitter, but I want to mention it here as well because it's important.
I saw a post encouraging "cis"* people to also list out their "personal pronouns" so that it makes it easier and to "normalize it."
I can understand their mindset... but everyone has their own reasons for showing it or not.
For me, I simply don't like "preferred pronouns". I know why others do it, and I respect them for it. But I personally don't care to say it. I will simply say "I'm a female/girl/woman" since the vast majority of people will know what I'm talking about. Some of my trans friends feel the same way, and I'm sure even m
I think someone should write something like this. I saw people complaining under journals and deviations by other users about it and I even got notes about this. I was asked how I could gift art to people who don't draw me something back and I was asked why I didn't draw gifts to people who talked to me one or two times the year... and after checking other artists and the comments under their deviations I have to say: it seems like many people don't understand the difference between "gift", "trade" and "request".
1) What does "gift" mean?
"A gift or a present is an item given to someone without the expectation of payment or return. An item
