This story is a vent piece about my experience with ROCD which is defined as relationship ocd, usually following a traumatic event such as a death or breakup that causes uncomfortable unwanted fears within one that creates physical manifestations of discomfort and anxiety. It is not treatable with medication, nor is it something that people live with their whole lives, it fluctuates based on people's current lives and their cognitive abilities. It is frequently treated by "increasing tolerance to discomfort and stress" and increasing coping skills with disappointment and avoiding using the same comforts over and over, as they become rituals themselves. Poetry, therapy, music, and speeches are frequently outlets that cause those with situational OCD to recover. I hope this piece helps anyone who is suffering or has suffered because of a loved one who has ROCD to better understand it and know that it isn't your fault. But it is your responsibility to acknowledge that your compulsions only hurt you and the ones they love. You must ignore them and they will go away, all they are is flash images in your brain. If you do not pay them mind, they won't pay you mind. Genuine fears and obsessions are not the same. Read this piece and consider, is it better to live in a world with no emotions and no fear, or is it better to live in a world where you feel all that your brain, that life has to offer? Feel everything as deeply as you can with no regrets. Or you will live a life full of them.

The Trouble with Trust [COMPLETED]
I'm about to tell you a story about a girl. A normal girl. A girl that had no cares in the world, until her trust for it was stripped away. When you read her story, you'll find yourself trusting her, loving her, rooting for her. But you see, not everyone gets to trust the world. Not everyone has a happy ending. --- Halfway through the kiss however, his attitude changed; instead of being a loving embrace, it became a fierce trap. His grip on her waist tightened, trapped her where she was instead of simply holding her where he wanted her. The hand in her hair grabbed a section of it, enforcing his demand for her not to go anywhere. Before she knew what was happening, he left go of her hair, and pushed her to the ground. She gasped, suddenly able to breathe. He stood up and walked over to her. He placed a soft hand on her cheek, just like he used to when he was telling her how special she was to him. None of the emotion was there this time however, all she could feel radiating from his was rage. "You shouldn't have run off, babe," he said bitterly. "I was about to show you how much I loved you. Instead, I now have to show you what happens when you anger me." --- The men regarded her, before she was shoved to the ground and one produced a whip. There, laying broken on the floor, as the other girls watched, she was whipped. Slowly, she felt her skin breaking in time with her heart and her will.Complete

Look What You Made Me Do
"Don't tell anybody about this." "If you just ignore it, it'll stop." "There's nothing I can do to help you." And so I did everything I was told. I shut up. I put on a brave face. I followed all the rules. But that was the past and it's not who I am anymore. I will be loud. I will be angry. I will tell the truth. Look what you've done. You gave me a story to tell. ----------------- Unfortunately, a true story. DISCLAIMER: This is my side of the story and, with the exception of a few voicemails/text messages/statements from friends, it all comes straight from my memory. As is the case with most PTSD brains, my memory isn't very good so I can't 100% confirm the accuracy of anything, but it is written almost exactly as I remember it. If anyone reading this happens to know something I don't, feel free to let me know. ----------------- Thank you for reading. ----------------- Dedicated to Sketch, and Toto, and Dr. Worm, and Mia, and anyone else (real or imaginary) that I loved, but they hated.Complete
I'm Fine || l.s. ✓
I wrote this when I was like 15 so it's awful and horribly inaccurate regarding lots of stuff and the characters are really, really annoying. If it didn't have so many reads and votes and that I would delete it. PLEASE, if you want something with better writing and still full of angst, look at my other fics instead (Tempest is my fav) // Harry is upset, he just wants someone to care about him but he keeps pushing everyone away. Despite being packed tightly in a tour bus with the rest of the band, he still manages to avoid them. The boys begin to worry, Louis especially. // PSSST, i think my other stories are better!
