✩ this post is a collaborative project with @mogaicemetery so much love to doll & veir help! row one: the ocd symbol - the hour glass

• this is intended to represent ocd and its subsets, with the sand pouring representing the constant stream of obsessions / intrusive thoughts and the flipping of the hourglass representing the compulsions, starting the cycle over again.
• it was created with inspiration from the neurodivergent infinity symbol and adhd butterfly symbol. there are three different colors - black for standard png use, teal for ocd awareness, and rainbow for neurodivergency.

a unicode symbol that works well for this is the white hourglass: ⧖

row two: the black and teal hourglasses placed on the ocd flag (linked) and the ocd flag cropped to 16:9 scale row three: the ocspec symbol - the four club-spoked asterisk.

• this is intended to represent the obsessive compulsive spectrum, with the clubs representing neurodivergency, the radial symmetry symbolizes the different specific directions obsessive compulsive disorders can manifest as whilst existing within a larger spectrum, and obsessive/compulsive represented by the horizontal/vertical directions respectively.

the unicode symbol used for this is the four club-spoked asterisk: ✥

row four: the ocspec flag (created by mons) / the symbol & flag

✩ color meanings are as follows: purple for obsessions, indigo for behaviors, teal for ocd, white for bfrbs, green for compulsions

*obsessive compulsive spectrum includes but not limited to: ocd, body focused repetitive behavior, eating disorders, trichotillomania, and hoarding
