I’ve had to take a massive step back from being online due to OCD
I’m someone who often engages in a lot of fandom. However, after OCD started to get really bad I’ve had to take a step back. I’ve had OCD ruin entire special interests for me before. I have very bad taboo and moral OCD that makes it difficult to engage in fandom. I always constantly worry about accidentally doing something pro-ship without knowing or constantly overanalyzing everything and spinning it in the worst way possible. Even worse is fandom discourse is a massive trigger for it. I’ve had to delete social media apps because even just stumbling across one discourse post will have me spiraling for hours. It’s exhausting and so scary. I want to be able to enjoy my interests and not question everything for two seconds.
