Eating OCD

OCD, Poem 1 Minute

With my slump in mood,
OCD has boomed,

It’s taken back control,
I’ve been stuck in autopilot,

The question is:
Do I have a manual override,
Or is there a bug in the system?

Fortunately I was not designed,
By Boeing engineers,
An override exists,
β€”I’ve just thunk it into being;

But what was I on about,
With ‘eating OCD’?

I’m really just talking,
Of ‘just right’ OCD,
Which can make me do anything,
Repetitively;

Now hunger, in me,
Exacerbates anxiety,
And relieving that feeling,
Is oh-so-pleasing;

That’s not to say,
It makes me binge-eat per se,
β€”Fortunately,
This is not the case!

But I just ate nearly a whole packet,
Of wholesome Brazil nuts,
β€”Each one like,
An awesome fireworks explosion;

I wanted to stop after three,
But it never felt right,
All because I was having an attack,
Of ‘just right’ OCD;

Yes, it’s weird to be me…

I write poems which are mental health-themed, creative or humourous :). Within mental health I write a lot about: ADHD, OCD, anxiety, autism, emotional traumaβ€” usually with an optimistic slant. My goals for my blog are to give myself a therapeutic, creative outlet whilst also being able to connect with and relate to other people.

    2. I’m considering just having coffee and staying up. That’s how you reset with jet leg.

      3. Thank you again.

        Can I ask you a question? Have I been overbearing? I’m sorry if so. It’s just that somebody I had recently been helping mentioned that today, although there were other complications. I know I’ve been writing a lot in your comments lately though, but I could relate to a lot of your struggles so couldn’t avoid trying to help. I hope it has helped. I can dial it back (simmer down)! Just say :). Thanks.

      6. Don’t be dismayed by my ‘late-night’ activity lol. I’ve flipped it around, it’s now early morning! I got up so late yesterday it was easier to stay up and go to bed at a proper time. I figured if I eat and do everything as if I got up at 5, my body will be convinced with enough persuasion :).
