STOP making posts that say, “If you scroll past this, you have no heart!” or, “You’re a monster if you scroll past this.” As someone with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, this really triggers me and harms me.
As someone else with OCD I wanna chime into say that posts like “reblog or you’ll have your worst week” or “like and reblog or your mom will die” also really trigger me and directly tie into my obsessions. If you MUST reblog them at least tag them as reblog bait! And stop tagging reblog games as reblog bait instead, tag them as reblog games!!! So people can properly blacklist what they do and don’t wanna see because those are both very different!
What people without OCD don’t understand is that even though we know it’s not real, we take those posts seriously, even the “good” ones like “Reblog money cat for money” or something can seriously fuck with our OCD. It leads to horrible panic attacks and giving into compulsions. If you wanna help us out please PLEASE tag reblog bait of all kinds.
I’ve got ultra bad anxiety and paranoia, when I see these types of posts I legit worry all week and it’s just in general a shit thing to do manipulating people into giving you reblogs or likes by telling them if they don’t something horrible is going to happen.
FIX YOUR FUCKING MORALS
Fuck it, I’m posting this on both of my blogs. This is too important not to spread.
So, Something that has always helped me (as someone with Paranoia) is if you can’t avoid the reblog baits, put them on some blank sideblog dedicated to that. That way, you know you reblogged it, and it’s out of your way.
