I once knew someone who claimed to have OCD because they couldn't stand leaving breadcrumbs around after cutting bread. That's not OCD, that's tidiness.
Okay, I actually do have OCD, and I love this shit. What I hate is when people misuse the term, or self-diagnose (often inaccurately. So yay t-shirt, boo hipster.
Honey, if they have worse OCD than making your mother drive two hours back to a national park while having a panic attack and passing out from hyperventilation because you touched a log with the wrong foot, they've got bigger things to worry about.
It is silly how people say 'this one OCD person is fine with it so all of them are'
What about the person whose parents wouldn't take them back to the log, called them an idiot and told them to snap out of it and trivialised their illness? And then they have to go out and see a store doing the same fucking shit..
I am completely fine with the word 'queer' in the correct context but I'm not going to insist that people who have had it used against them by a homophobic family accept it.
Barbaragordon, I hope you have made some progress with your OCD and I wish you all the best
I have a learning disorder and you don't see me bitching at school books for not catering to my needs. It's called get over it and do you. Everyone has special problems they deal with and if you can't accept it and just make the best of it you're going to die a bitter person.
I was homeschooled but even then my parents avoided telling me till I was in the 8th grade. I struggled and cried every day from elementary school to middle school wondering why I was so stupid. I was bitter then towards my parents for not trying to help me, but I learned something from it all.
The world doesn't cater to your special needs. You have to learn how to deal with it.
im sorry everyone on here is being complete assholes to you. @tguy. You don't deserve the shit they're giving you. I'm still dumbfounded that people still find it socially acceptable to tell you to go kill yourself. Stay strong dude. You have a really good heart. I can tell.
Thanks :) don't worry about me, I won't kms because of strangers online and I'm mostly fine these days.
I have special needs (though not very severe, just hearing, and I find school quite easy). It sucks that that happened to you, everyone in my school is catered for. Extra sessions after school, handouts on coloured paper for dyslexia, extra time in tests...
If the world doesn't help you at all with your special needs, you have to demand help (within reason). If I ask to be sat at the front, etc, I always get it. It can feel a bit entitled at first, but I've learned that I need it and now I don't hesitate. Even big businesses will cater, to employees e.g. Sign language interpreters.
Ok I may have been harsh before but I have a legitimate question for you, before I ask is will say that it's good that your school helps when needed but if you rely on school and business catering to all your needs what happens if you go somewhere that doesn't
I make them or I'm out. For example, I went sailing. They wouldn't let me do anything bc I couldn't hear out in the boats. Seriously all you have to do is point which way to steer, not hard. Tbf it was my mother who complained since I didn't want to go at all because it was freezing cold and I don't like sailing anyway since it's not physical enough. But immediately after she complained I was able to do exactly the same as all te hearing people and even got a higher sailing certificate than some of them.
I know she's self diagnosed, cuz she has gray hair and basically looks like a denizen of tumblr. Also, she's going online to bitch and moan about it, just like a tumblr. Regular people don't get all triggered like that by a shirt. Case closed, cunt.
What gives you the right to say any of this? You have zero idea whether this girl has OCD whether it be self-diagnosed or not. I personally have OCD, I was diagnosed at the age of 10 by my physician. I am also offended by the sweater. I also know that you are saying this to get attention. Calling her a bitch and cunt is not making you prove your point any better, it shows that you are insensitive and immature. Please use your time and energy on something better than harassing people on the internet.
Get off your fucking high horse mary, only asshats get offended by initials and vague holiday merriment. I could give two shits about your diagnosis, but I do care when you try to throw it in peoples faces, like saying a fucking Christmas sweater is taking advantage of your condition. I don't even celebrate Christmas, but your holier-then-thou attitude is the very embodiment of a bitchy grinch!
OCD person: struggles every day with their illness, has to take medication, impacts school, work, family and relationships.
*large company makes fun of something that can be disabling*
Healthy people: LOL it's just a sweater you GRINCH!
If this was a cancer joke y'all wouldn't be long picketing target
Cancer jokes are like the bread and butter of the internet, tguy. Anyway a real OCD sufferer just said they don't give a shit about this shirt, and if you used your brain a bit, why would someone with a serious ailment give a fuck about some random ass sweater. Meanwhile, you, the fucking SJW, are getting offended on their behalf. Like that's the kind of shit I don't get. Why do SJWs constantly get triggered over shit that is apparently offensive to a demographic that is completely unrelated to them?
Your all idiots. Except you guest. I completely agree with you. Everyone who has "ocd and is offended by this shirt" please go out in the real world. Stop being such stuck up little shits. Life is gonna be filled with things you don't like, it's called LIFE. So shut the fuck up and deal with it.
Honestly why are you like this. What the hell does this have to do with you? You don't have OCD so why are you so wildly triggered by this? It has nothing to do with you. You are just harassing people. Desperately craving attention due to your own ignorance. And also want is wrong with being a SJW? What is so bad about wanting to give people basic human rights? Why are you so threatened by equality? What are you using hatred to compensate for? And also if your comment is just going to be calling me a bitch or cunt (very creative by the way) please don't waste your time.
Mary... Please shut up.. I can feel my brain cells committing suicide one by one. Here's a couple quick life lessons for when you actually have to grow up.
1: People are assholes.
2: Equality is but a child's dream. It will never happen. People are too narcissistic and stuck up to ever want equality.
3: Literally no one gives a shit if you have OCD or not, we will continue to make OCD jokes.
4: Your the only one craving attention here. Our points have been made, we won, stop trying to fight back. Your the only idiot here.
I was unaware that this was a competition. I'm sorry that you need affirmation from strangers on the internet. I was trying to prove a point, that is all. You have immaturely made this a bigger deal than it is. I was just trying to teach tolerance and acceptance. Two things you clearly will never understand.
Who ever said it was your word choice? Don't give yourself too much credit now, I've seen more complex vocabularies grading 3rd graders "What do you want to be when you grow up" essays. What's hurting my head is your complete and utter stupidity and lack of basic fundamental knowledge on how THE REAL FUCKING WORLD works. Not your, as you so simply put it, "big words"
Legit Mary, EVERYONE is down voting you.. Just admit your wrong already and stop embarrassing yourself. Take your 3rd degree burns that guest, wrong3, and ambertek have given you and learn how to quit. Also, please grow up while your at it.
Do you think I care that people are down voting me? And really you're going to lecture me about the real world and growing up? All I am trying to do is support the girl in this photo who was hurt. A bunch of people think that OCD is just some joke. It's not. There are proven scientific links that OCD can cause suicidal thoughts and actions. So why are you all complaining. This girl was hurt. That's the bottom line. You're insults and critiques are irrelevant and immature. You all need to grow up and accept that a girl's feeling were hurt. Her mental disease was used to sell a taboo Christmas product. Target was totally out of place to do that. You all need to grow up.
Well, if nobody cares that her feelings were hurt then why is LITERALLY EVERYONE BITCHING AND MOANING ON THIS POST. It's exhausting how little compassion people are showing.
Oh ya, I forgot to mention how immature the girl is. She was "triggered" by a fucking Christmas sweater.. Honestly, I wouldn't mind if she killed herself. People like that need to stop reproducing. Please, neither you or her ever have kids. Anyone who's offended by simple shit like this is a waste of oxygen and space.
Please only reply after you graduate middle school. If the only insults you can come up with is "your immature" and "you just want attention" then I feel bad about how one sided this argument is. Not everyone says shit for attention. Those are my very serious opinions. Stop. Reproducing. And I love my life, unlike you I've actually grown up and done something with it.
I think you're the immature and butt hurt one when you keep telling people to quit reproducing and to go ahead and end their life. Maturity is knowing when to stop and go on with your life. Out, bitches.
Just because one OCD sufferer says it's ok doesn't meant it is ok for all of them..
People go on about how everyone is a pathetic snowflake when it comes to mental illness but if this was a joke about physical disabilities there would be uproar. 50 years ago you would have said the same thing about people in wheelchairs, 'deaf and dumb', etc.
Words and jokes do relate to actions, regardless of what you want to think. Jokes about deafndumb weren't just jokes- people truly believed that deaf people were just dumb.
In a similar way, today things like this trivialise mental illness and contribute to employers, healthcare, and schools not taking it seriously as they should be.
I would like to hope, that should I develop a mental illness on the future, the institutions I am involved with would be appropriately sympathetic, and the issue would not be belittled or disregarded, as my temporary depression at 13 was.
lmao. temporary depression at 13? ahhaha I bet you were one of those edgy little emo kids who claimed depression, werent diagnosed, and basically acted like their lives were so damn hard all the time.
If it was just a claim, why would I still be saying it was that 4 years later? I was undiagnosed because I had no idea how to reach for help due to stigma, and every time I admitted weakness I was treated like a joke. Most people have their first episode during puberty and I hope I shall never have another of such severity.
Also, consider: claiming you are depressed for attention (though I did not, I am certain it was legitimate) is mentally unstable in itself
@tguy
You wanna fucking bet I wouldn't joke about physical disabilities too? Kiddo, I made a cancer joke about a user ON HERE that died of cancer. Check my old post from when I got unbanned. Also, no. You were just an edgy meme. Don't fucking act like you legit depression.
Yeah because you know everything about my life, fuck off mate. Going on about edge, you think going out of your way to be an asshole is cool? Wow you joked about someone's death DAMN you hard edgy specialmuch one
I'm not going out of my way to be an asshole, I'm using my free time to educate children. And yes, I did joke about someone's death. Because you HONESTLY thought the line is drawn at physical disabilities? Kid, we offend everyone.
Well dude I can't think of anything else that would make me seriously plan my own suicide. Yeah it's tmi but.. Seriously. If I was just trying to be special I would know that now looking back on it, sick of people trying to rewrite my own history
What about the person whose parents wouldn't take them back to the log, called them an idiot and told them to snap out of it and trivialised their illness? And then they have to go out and see a store doing the same fucking shit..
