Tw Vomit Mention - Tumblr Posts

I’ve been having a bit of a shaky night and this helps. What if someone threw up in the gas station I went to earlier and they didn’t clean it up properly and I inhaled the molecules and I’m going to wake up tonight feeling like I’ve been infected with a symbiote and I vomit feverishly for hours and become traumatized and my OCD worsens until it completely tears my mind apart? Haha would that be messed up or what?

I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but intrusive thoughts are basically your brain’s (sometimes very upsetting) way of saying “If there were two guys on the moon and one of them killed the other with a rock would that be fucked up or what?”

I’ve personally found that adding the “would that be fucked or what?” part in myself really helps put the more disturbing thoughts we sometimes get into perspective. Helps me say “yeah thar sure would be fucked up” and move on with my day.

It’s not a secret desire, it’s not something that only occurs to you because you’re a bad person. It’s just your brain deciding to process the fact that it knows an uncomfortable thing exists in the world by feeding it to you in an absurd “what if” with you as the main character.

Has anyone ever had an experience where hearing a certain noise over and over made you physically want to throw up?

I just had to be on the phone with someone who had a constant tapping noise and when I got off, I had so much nausea I was gagging and couldn't function for a little while.

The only way to stop eating is to sleep but sleeping the day away gives me guilt and the only way I cope with guilt is eating sugar and god I wish I could force myself to vomit because then my lack of self control wouldn't be an issue

This is verrrrry goddamn easy, guys.

If it isn't hurting anyone, don't bother.

I slightly struggle with this as well, but it's only with things that initiate the gag reflex or cause me to have a headache (the examples mentioned do not cause either).

And things that do this include, but not limited to:

Cat gack (which is worse than our vomit despite it basically being the same thing)

Food cooked in the microwave that has to be cooked in the oven or says it's microwaveable but really isn't

Talking about inner organs (ours and other species)

The nervous system (ours and other species)

Specific bones (but skeletons—and more recognizable bones minus baby animal & human toddler skulls—as a whole are fine)

Medical terms I recognize in regards to the above shit.

But people's harmless decisions don't bother me whatsoever, and neither should it bother you, regardless of who you are as a person.

As an adult you must cultivate the skill of “Gross! Oh, well. Not my business.”
