@Bloody Kawaii Buddy - the world is a big, big place full of billions of people, and somehow, regardless of all other things that could have happen, all the others paths I could have taken, all the other places I could have been, I saw this comment and I am here to tell you that everything will be ok. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but eventually it will be ok. And if that minuscule chance I would even see this message doesn’t tell you anything, I don’t know what will. The world is strong but the people in it are stronger, and so are you :)

[@erengrae4120]

Her interview for this song hit on such a different level. I related to every word she said. It literally made me cry. I relate to the anxiety of thinking I’m gonna die everyday of something and I just over think and when I try to not think it actually just makes it worse.

[@erengrae4120]

And the intrusive thoughts are incredibly bad for me too. If anyone wants to talk on here!

The day people understand that this is what OCD is and not organization will be when the world finally heals

[@childoftheuniverse13]

Yes!

[@Penguin9796]

well it can be organization,,,,, but it's considered OCD when it seriously affects your life. so if you start crying because something isn't organized then it's closer to being actual OCD but PURE OCD is wayyyyy more mental than physical

[@childoftheuniverse13]

@@Penguin9796 Of course it can be organization OCD, but it’s not JUST that. When people only portray OCD as something that is merely related to organization or germs, it gives a certain stereotype that makes it both hard for the person living with OCD, and people trying to understand OCD🌸

[@alexithymine]

as an OCD sufferer, i can relate to all of this. I've dealt with all kinds of intrusive thoughts about m*rder, r word, p*dophilia, etc.. to the point where my brain made me believe that i actually wanted to do these things when deep down inside i never did. my OCD made me believe i was crazy and that i was losing control over myself mentally and physically. my brain can come up with anything at any moment and i'm stuck sitting there ruminating on it and trying to "figure them out" which i found out was a compulsion. it's like a neverending cycle.

[@gymnasticsgirlie0647]

Anxiety and depression, but also OCD! This song is about a specific type of OCD called Harm OCD, which is an important distinction because people who relate to this song need to know what they likely have and where to go to get an actual diagnosis and further help and treatment.

[@joanalovesyou]

Therapy and medication are the main ways to tackle intrusive thoughts, but there are plenty of free resources online and books you can buy too!

[@MSEAD123]

I adore this song, and this artist dialogue. I’ve not really struggled with mental illness but boy have I known others struggling with it. It’s always been so hard to deal with them from my shoes, selfishly I’ve always just wanted them to be different. This song hit me in some way and helped me feel so much empathy and some more understanding for those who struggle with mental illness in a way that no book, lectures or articles could have taught me. Amazing work for such a young person to do already!

[@polinaahonen8645]

I love girl Ik red she has such a good voice she’s honest and a mood

[@onlyimaginaryy]

I started listening to girl in red after hearing her famous songs “We fell in love in October” and “I wanna be your girlfriend.” Of course I fell in love with her music style and voice and lyrics and everything. I didn’t realize how much I actually relate to her until I watched this. Wow. She is my new therapist

[@devpaloma]

This is something very beautiful, but also painful in a way. It's been so long, she literally captured what has been harboring me and living within my mind for so long. Just, wow. It's so hard to compose words. It's beautiful, in such a way, but it's oh so painful. Knowing I'm not alone helps but, it also breaks me knowing people out have to live the same way she or I have to live. If you're out there reading this, remember, you're a blessing. And you're beautiful. Genuinely.

[@pbutter237]

This song appeared at the right time for me during the pandemic. It made me realize that other people had anxiety/mental health issues just as I did. It made me understand some of the symptoms. It was a long road to recovery.

If you seriously relate to this song, please please PLEASE see a therapist specializing in OCD (called an ERP therapist) if you are able. This song is about Harm OCD, but many therapists don't know how to diagnose or treat this type of OCD because they are just so uneducated about it. However, ERP therapists will generally be equipped to handle all types of OCD because they have had special training in it.

[@spicedclay]

I don’t think she talked about it, but I love the staccato line and then the little staccato like vocal scat she does at the end of the phrase with the roll of the tongue like a machine gun.

[@Elise.Celeste.]

I'm so glad that this topic is finally getting some light shined upon it, dealing with intrusive thoughts is a living hell it's even worse when you explain what you're going through and people cant really understand. I've been going through the hardest year of my life and oddly it was after covid was subsiding. Not sure why I'm saying this here but one thing I would say is don't ever stop believing the person you were before the thoughts cause eventually they become like clouds that float away. So to anyone going through the same thing, know you're not crazy or alone we're all going through it, stay safe everyone!

I remember going through long phases of getting intrusive thoughts when I was younger and being absolutely terrified because I wasn't aware of what it was back then. So for the longest time I thought something was seriously wrong with my morals, and my mom was religious and thought it was demons which only freaked me out worse. I've done better now that I know what they are, I still get them here and there but they tend to be more manageable. They are still scary and anxiety inducing though

No, everyone should be able to have access to therapy. You wouldn't tell people to not go to the doctor for their yearly well-visits because sick people need them more, would you? Check-ins with a therapist can help diagnose mental health conditions early, fix problems before they become full blown mental health conditions, and just plainly help people to emotionally grow.
