What's worse, having ADHD or OCD?

>>81581728 (OP)
ADHD is more normal than OCD and you aren't going to think about unnamable things 24/7. In fact, ADHD wasn't even a bad thing before the industrial revolution.

>>81581728 (OP)
I would ocd

since those dummies spend hours of thier days on their rituals

>>81581728 (OP)
my ocd is just a nuisance 90% of the time, but i've found ways to make it manageable with techniques similar to the cbit i use for my tics. my adhd is unmanageable without meds.
>t. someone unlucky enough to have tourette's ocd and adhd

ocd easily
a lot of people like to say they have ocd when they just want their room to look nice or whatever, but real actual ocd is nightmarish

depends on how bad
whichever one stops you from doing more things

if you want to be a normie adhd is worse probably but if you want to do anything out of the ordinary ocd makes you afraid of going outside

>>81581784
>ordinary ocd makes you afraid of going outside
Really? Why? Does it bother them that the fallen leaves on the ground aren't organized or something? I watched a documentary about a woman having OCD and it took her ages to make an omelet because getting a piece of eggshell in her bowl made her freak out and toss the whole thing and start over. Never understood why she didn't open each egg into a smaller bowl first so she doesn't waste so many eggs.

OCD caused me to scream at top of my lungs at a toilet seat for being crooked earlier today so you tell me.

>>81581878
>Why?
because you make up stupid superstitions and start thinking about how you should go out at 3 pm and only on tuesdays because less bad things happen on tuesdays

>>81581728 (OP)
i have mild ocd and the contamination part is so bad that i cannot touch my body/clothes after touching another object, whether it be my pc keyboard or the walls in my house etc
anytime i touch something i have to wash my hands to make them "clean", so now ive stopped touching things when i dont have to in order to minimize how many times i wash my hands, otherwise id be washing my hands like 150 times in one day, now its like 20-30 times usually for the last few years
i think i might be retarded or something, theres nothing really "dirty" about anything i touch but it still fucks my brain up, i hate the intrusive thoughts i get too

>>81582018
Wow. My apartment would probably kill you. My toilet seat is a bit loose and I can't reach the screw and that makes the seat wiggle around a bit like very loose bearings. OCD sounds horrifying. My schizoid hermit life seems like a piece of cake in comparison but still people keep commenting how they feel bad for me.

Is there medication for OCD? Would wearing gloves make a difference with your touch issue?

>>81581728 (OP)
Inattentive ADHD ruined my life. But from what I've heard OCD can be much worse

>>81581728 (OP)
Seems like ADHD is the "disease" that retarded lazy spastic faggots who can't get anything done have. OCD meanwhile leaves you Locked The Fuck In, running like a MACHINE at all times. Taking stimulant drugs basically gives you OCD, so you could say that OCD is the cure to ADHD.

>>81582035
This only happens if you are both OCD and retarded. If you are OCD and high IQ you come up with extremely legitimate, evidence-driven rules about how to live your life and you operate on a super-optimized ritualized set of systems that result in peak performance in all aspects of life.

>>81582125
>Taking stimulant drugs basically gives you OCD,
no stimulants just let me function like a normal person
>>81582139
maybe but it's still how it works for me

>>81582088
>medication for OCD
yes they do prescribe some meds for ocd to make it more manageable
>Would wearing gloves make a difference with your touch issue?
mmh maybe it would help, though the outside of the gloves id use to touch things with could get "dirty" then id spread the dirt to clean things which would be weird i assume
idk havent really tried, i think that would work best is probably therapy or meds to lessen the intensity of the disorder, since at the end of the day its still a mental issue, so id have to "fix it" at the root, but since theres no way to cure it then therapy/meds are the only option
it pisses me off that i have this disorder since theres such an emphasis on symmetry in my movements and many weird rituals i have to do, but i guess the silver lining is that its helped me build a worldview that tries to explain the world better, without inconsistencies, in a similar vein autists have "black and white thinking" which is motivated by a desire for things to make sense, i too have this desire for things to make sense which leads me to build complex worldviews that leave no room for contradictions, when i look at most normies they dont really care for contradictions, they can hold two separate contradictory views just fine, for me that would probably cause intrusive thoughts about it until i found a solution or change it to something that makes more sense.

as for op's question on which is worse, id unironically rather have adhd than ocd, though ive experienced what executive dysfunction looks like and its definitely hell, but ocd is still far worse for me.

>>81581728 (OP)
Depends on the severity. I have ADD (and Asperger's too ig). ADD literally ruined my fucking life. I can barely function, even with medication.

>What's worse, having nothing or nothing

>>81581728 (OP)
I have severe OCD, it's hell. I almost moght have ADHD but I'm not sure.

>>81581728 (OP)
i dont have adhd but i guess it makes it harder to work? ok?
but if u have ocd it will literally control ur entire life and make u constnatly think about it and u will experience great mental suffering

>>81581728 (OP)
ADHD means you can generally kinda function but just...poorly. It's a disease that essentially makes you look like you just don't give a shit. You forget birthdays, you forget what day it is, you forget to do important things or have important conversations, you forget important details, it's essentially just Alzheimer's but without the degeneration. Lots of forgetfulness. You may also grow hyperfixated on something very niche and specific for months, years. You may become annoying about trains or synthesizers. Often gets mistaken for the 'tism. Very silly, tiring disease.

OCD will make you kill yourself.

OCD is legit one of the most misunderstood and underdiagnosed psychological disorders in existence. People think OCD is like "zOMG THAT CHAIR IS CROOKED!!!1" when in reality that shit will have you hearing voices and cutting your dick and balls off with gardening shears. ADHD is basically just going "wait what's happening again?" an hour into a 90 minute movie.

I choose ADHD.

There's some benefits to ADHD, and some of the symptoms are managable without medication. I just started taking mine again a year ago, so I don't have post it notes everywhere like I did. I'm not so flighty anymore as well. I'm also more mellowed out. It's nice to be able to concentrate on one thing again instead of five while running around trying to do five other things all at the same exact time.

OCD Idk since I never had it. But, it must be a pain to deal with. I hear of ones that would check their alarm clock often just to see the time and their alarm was set every few seconds. One of myfriends was OCD and she would constantly be cleaning her home.

>just going "wait what's happening again?" an hour into a 90 minute movie.
How fucking true. One show I watched a while back was just 30 minutes and it took me an entire hour to watch because of that.

>>81581728 (OP)
It depends on the severity of either. If they were at the same severity, so to speak, it'd be OCD.

>i dont have adhd but i guess it makes it harder to work? ok?
that's an understatement
adhd is why half the people here are neets who never passed high school
