OCD thing. Skills comparison

ZNem

When at Skills tab, show it´s morph even if isnt activate, just for a quikly comparison. Or just do as the same as it is for gear, showing both stats at same time. Ty ZoS.

Can you please not use the name of a serious mental condition to describe a minor desire to see a change in the way skills are displayed? It's extremely disrespectful to those who genuinely suffer from OCD, and detracts from the purpose of your thread, which has nothing to do with OCD at all.

People really need to stop casually calling their every small annoyance OCD when that is not what OCD is at all.

Aint a problem... it´s a lack of control

If we take any "diseas" from DSM book every one of us is <snip>. Ain´t a disea... its a condition.

I've been diagnosed with OCD and had it for a number of years now.

Thank you. I don't think I've ever seen anyone stand up for people like me like this.

The term "OCD" has been so ingrained in "everyday speak" as a "slang" for "perfectionist tendencies" or even "thing that I dislike" that it has gotten very hard to explain how agonizing it is to have actual OCD. It's like having a gun to my head, only I'm being held at gunpoint by my own brain and no one can see it.

Reasons why I love video games so much is that the OCD intrusive thoughts never seem to spawn from them. Nothing in ESO has ever triggered them. In Tamriel I can be free, and I'm not sure how to describe what such a wonderful feeling it is.

I just learned to not talk about it all that much because people misunderstand what it is or think it's just "you love cleaning" or "you like things a certain way". It's not about liking things a certain way, it's about being forced to do things a certain way because you feel you will legitimately die if you don't.

Thank you.

Thanks for your strong words, Wolf_Eye. My brother is diagnosed and many people do not help when they purposely use the label of the diagnosis for things like this. It creates shame and stigma and makes people afraid to receive help or admit to their symptoms when people make a joke of OCD. OCD is not a joke. I got low tolerance for people misusing mental health diagnosis as a joke or as a casual word to throw around.

You're a great person! hope you are doing well

So when a decent human steps on a someone's toes they apologize and remove their foot. Other kinds of people lean more weight into the step and deny doing it.

Just an observation.

Separately, the original request would be kinda cool.

So sorry that you think my mental illness is "nonsense".

I would never wish my OCD on anyone, not even you.

Thank you, Majority. I wish your brother the very best and my hopes that he keeps fighting, too.

Perhaps try having a little empathy for others, and do some research next time before you misuse terms, or speak about things you clearly do not understand.

Correcting others in regard to the use of mental health terms is NEVER nonsense, and helps people who suffer from those conditions to feel they are not alone.

You are posting extremely harmful misinformation and opinions which are detrimental to the mental health of others. I'd suggest never doing such a thing again if you want any topic of yours to be taken seriously in the future.
