Do Not Feed OCD

Graphic Design
Navigating OCD
Adobe Illustrator

I made this as a reminder to not feed OCD by giving into compulsions, whether that's asking for reassurance, giving it to someone else, or a whole host of other compulsions. Response prevention is how you starve OCD and break the cycle! The animal I chose to represent OCD is a mouse, because a friend calls their OCD "little mouse" as in "If you give a mouse a cookie..." Anyone who wants to put this somewhere as a reminder for themselves or others is welcome to. Feel free to contact me to ask for specific aspect ratios.

I love feedback!

Feedback is how I improve. As Extra Credits says, "Fail faster. No idea is made fully formed. Your ideas can't be precious. Your ego can't need protecting. Every failure is a chance to get it right."

Want to use this?

Go right ahead! I'd also be happy to make small alterations for you, if you specify what you'd like. You can do that here.

Want to join me in making this?

I'm currently seeking people who want to be part of a nonprofit focusing on disabled-first design and radical accessibility. This project is on the list for what we make there. If you want to join, please get in touch!
