the discourse on ocd last ep was not it..
as someone who is a HUGE JT fan and has pretty severe OCD, Trisha’s comments about ocd being “kind of nice to have” and describing it as being compulsively clean really struck a nerve for me. i thought since she has the NOCD sponsor (a service which i use for affordable ERP therapy) she was more educated that OCD really isn’t just about being clean and organized. it is a debilitating disorder that plagues the lives of the people who have it. YES, there are themes of OCD related to things being just right or symmetrical, as well as contamination themes which lead people to compulsively clean their spaces or themselves, but it is FAR from enjoyable for them. i don’t want to come across as hateful at all, just want to spread some awareness and hopefully someone on the team sees this so it can be spoken about in a more educated and respectful manner.
