Sending a message and immediately rereading it and finding a typo is one of life's most consistent horrors.

#psychology 🧌 time, maybe #neurodivergent thinking is alternative modes of seeking. Maybe #autism is diffuse thinking by default, a breadth-first exploration of a problem space, and the #neurotypical is just goal-oriented and goes depth first. (Graph theory/traversal algorithm talk is leaking so sorry about that)
Maybe #OCD is just attempts at producing a controlled environment, maybe #mood #disorders are rapid context switching to influence decision making in the probability distribution.

To those of y'all who suffer with #OCD , especially the 'pure O' type... I see you. Very few people know what the trauma of living with this is like, how it makes you question reality, how it gets between you and the people you love.
Few understand the utter exhaustion, the terror of the "what ifs" and the "realness" of the lies your brain tells you.

#OCD Gedanken am Morgen: Wenn ich auf einen L-Schreibtisch umsteige, kann ich den Arbeitsbildschirm nach rechts schieben und muss nicht den ganzen Tag die Neigung der zwei nebeneinander stehenden Monitore angleichen... 🤔

Is it anxiety or OCD? Everyone is in the car, and you're halfway to the airport, and now you can't remember if you turned off the faucet when you brushed your teeth.

Noticed a couple of #Bipolar episode tells: #OCD and fidgeting in overdrive. Hands are drier from excessive washing. I wasn't even really thinking about anything, but suddenly I noticed I was always rubbing my fingers. Then when I went to make food, my 'station' had to be completely free of every single crumb, and the things I was about to use needed to be aligned either perpendicular or parallel to the counter edge. 😬
Its surreal kind of... Analyzing and observing my symptoms.

The problem with #OCD is that it takes advantage of a power vacuum like this. I feel powerless right now in basically every area of my life. And so, my OCD is filling that gap.
The shitty thing about #MentalHealth is that so much of it is compounded by this suffocating system we're all living under. As a #disabled #trans person, the pressures are amplified.
Ugh.

Started a new book on #OCD today. My life is such a skipfire I can feel the OCD closing in on me, and I don't like it.
It's sad because over the last 5 years- I've improved it a lot. But with how life is now? It's popping up in new places, and it's exhausting.
I can see why, my life is out of control: I'm jobless (and despite all the effort there's no results), I lost my dream healthcare career, I've had to move back home, my disabilities are spiralling, and the world is further collapsing.

That music can serve more than purely aesthetic or entertainment purposes is no longer a surprising idea. Across many cultures and historical periods, music has functioned as a means of regulating mood, attention, and bodily states. Over the past decades, clinical research has begun to examine these effects with greater methodological care. Within psychiatry and psychology, music-based interventions now appear in studies addressing anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and related conditions.
Structured musical interventions - such as guided listening, improvisation-based music therapy, or therapist-led sessions - can reduce obsessive symptoms, lower anxiety, and ease depressive comorbidity when used alongside established forms of treatment. Controlled studies report measurable improvements in anxiety and obsessive symptoms when music therapy accompanies standard care. At the same time, sample sizes remain limited, and further research is required.
Music also relates to cognitive and emotional mechanisms that are relevant to OCD. Studies indicate that individuals with obsessive-compulsive personality traits often show heightened sensitivity to musical tension and a strong preference for harmonic resolution. These observations suggest links between musical structure, predictive processing in the brain, and the regulation of intrusive thoughts.
The intersection of neuroscience, psychology, and musical practice therefore forms a productive field of investigation. Musical processes operate simultaneously on several levels: rhythm can synchronize breathing and autonomic activity, tonal expectation structures attention, and deep musical immersion alters the subjective experience of time as well as aspects of cognitive control. These characteristics make music a complex medium within therapeutic contexts.
I examined these questions in greater detail last year, focusing on anxiety disorders and obsessive-compulsive conditions, the current evidence base, and practical forms of music-based interventions in clinical settings.

Best Podcast: Clearer Thinking
I actually can’t believe I haven’t recommended Clearer Thinking yet in previous years, given that it’s been consistently one of my most listened-to podcasts for several years now. The topics discussed range from psychology and economics to politics, climate change, AI, philosophy and many more topics. Apart from the excellent guests they manage to find on a weekly basis, the main highlight of the podcast is the host Spencer Greenberg, who always manages to ask unexpected and challenging questions yet always does so with openness and compassion.
It’s pretty hard to pick a single episode, so I will cheat a bit and recommend a collection of connected conversations about different personality disorders:
- A conversation with a sociopath
- A conversation with a narcissist
- A conversation about borderline disorder
- A conversation with a rigid perfectionist who has OCPD
- A conversation with an autistic person
- A conversation with a person with OCD
Each of these conversations gave me a new understanding and appreciation for the difficulties that people with these disorders live with, all from their own perspective (which is sadly all too rare). I strongly believe that by listening better to each other and showing curiosity rather than judgement, we can prevent a whole lot of damage and suffering, and I cannot think of better examples of that than these episodes.
Previous winners: 80,000 Hours with interview with Audrey Tang (2022), The Way Out Is In with Space, Time, and the Ultimate Dimension (2023), and Dice Exploder with Rule Zero with Ema Acosta (2024).
