A fresh new year can feel overwhelming for some, because of this, some people choose to avoid making big promises and live life each day as it comes. Is there anything you would like to achieve with OCD recovery by the end of this year? We wish you all the best for 2026, Team OCD-UK 🤗

The stuff of nightmares, truly. It’s funny though, in the past this would have been OCD hell for me. But right now, while I am *seriously* grossed out, I’m more just incredibly offended by the sheer disregard for a publicly owned book (or any book lol)

I just finished the marvellous Beastopia, the first in a new series by @chrissiesains.bsky.social. I think it’s the first book I’ve read with type 1 diabetes rep. Can anyone recommend any other books with good disability /chronic illness representation? #KidsBooksFriday #UKKidLit #KidLit #KidLitUK

#OCD #CBT #ERP #MeanGirls I made a thing. The brilliant @lilybailey.bsky.social made the original of this several years ago though.
"Get in losers, we're doing CBT/ERP!" The Plastics from Mean Girls looking after the mental health of people with OCD.

Just saw a headline that read “what not drinking enough water really does to your body” and honestly I got a jump scare

“Listen to your body” Not a good idea because my body can’t tell the difference between being chased by a bear and an incoming Teams call

When someone says they’ll just “pop by” your house at “some point today” so you enter a liminal social waiting room where you can’t do anything else until they’ve come and gone

The reality of claiming PIP: a 🧵 1) To claim PIP you have to describe in excruciating detail all the ways you cannot function. This means that you are forced to think in very detailed terms exactly how disabled you are, which often has a devastating effect on the mental health of the applicant 1/?

🧵 The UK government has announced they will make over £5bn in cuts to disabled people’s social security. This is the biggest cut on record. And we’re appalled. People at food banks have told us that they’re terrified about how they might survive.

“Tell me why I don’t like Mondays” Because they’re a soft reset when I’ve only just managed to get the hang of the previous week and the cyclical and unstoppable march of weekdays is it’s own a kind of prison Oh

No disrespect to my dog. I’ve always been a Small Dog sleeper - used to scooping him up to my chest for a nestling buddy. But there’s a whole genre of dog sleep I’ve been missing out on. Damm

I just had THE nap. My neighbour’s dog is here and she’s bigger than my dog and she put her weight across my legs and oh my GOD how will I ever sleep without that reassuring pressure grounding me to this Earth again

The neurodivergent urge to be filled with promise for the day, thinking of the many nice ways you could spend it and little hobbies you could do - only to lose time because you’re frozen between all the options

It’s one of life’s great sadnesses that you cannot tag your dog in memes
A meme of a human and dog sleeping says “me and my dog sleeping 10 hours”

When I see this in shows it always makes me think maybe I’m just a bit obsessive about saying goodbye clearly. But maybe I’m… normal?
