The OCD Soapbox
mqarcus:
Well, I guess that I should be here too.
I have diagnosed OCD. I have an obsession about hygiene and symmetry and need to wash my hands all the time, clean every inch of the house, place things in alphabethical order, place them with the excact same space between and that kind of stuff.
Sometimes I can't sleep because I need to get up and check if the carpet lies symmetrically to the wall and that kind of stuff.
This takes up many hours every day, I barely get any sleep because I stay up late at night and scrub the kitchen clean. It's annoying, and I go to a therapist, but I can't say it's helping much.
Evil_Lathander:
There's Death Metal band named "Scar Symmetry"
They're pretty good, mixing hard beats and good melodies with raw and clear vocals...
Anyways, on OCD's, I once saw this one case where this one woman spent almost all day at home re-arranging her chairs to be alligend perfectly... sounds recognisable?
mqarcus:
Pretty much, yes.
Evil_Lathander:
I'm suddenly reminded of a certain simpsons episode where Flanders wants to be more like Homer and goes on Homer's program to become more wild :-P
AnubicDarque:
I just want to thank J.Jacques for having the ability to create a OCD charator with both cunning skill and sensitivity. She makes me laugh lots, and I can see some of myself in her. I also suffer from OCD, thankfully its not the classic clean evertying thats nailed down type but it does affect my life in many various ways, and has cost me jobs relationships marriage.
At this time I am not taking any medication for it, it would take me 4 years to get on meds with waiting lists for psychiatric so I deal with it as best I can though mental excersizes. though its rough and its hard trying to find ways to do things that most people would normally do.
Well thats enough out of me Back to your regularly scheduled program
