  • Summary

  • This week's "How are you really?" check in leads us first into discussion about when, in conversation, to acknowledge the presence of OCD, when to keep it silent, and what that decision-making process does to our cognitive loads.

    We explore the hazards of internet research, different ways that OCD shows up physiologically, and the contrast between common perception of OCD, and what it is really like for us.

    Also in the first half of this episode, contamination anxiety interplays with other, difficult-to-classify anxieties in relationships, structure is helpful, dating is hard, heaviness is familiar, and a beloved voice encourages forward movement over stagnation, even in the face of uncertainty.

    Finally, we exchange a few thoughts on cancel culture and human interaction in the presence of oppression* before a segue to this episode's variable prompts, where we talk about our organization systems, language we've coined to describe our OCD, and our OCD-tangential personality traits.

    *The book referenced briefly during this part of the conversation is Our Problem Our Path by Eleonora Bartoli and Ali Michael

    (Just a quick note here that this is not a replacement for therapy, and that we are not therapists.)
