re: OCDs - From RAGGY Q POO Posted On: 2/1/05 at 12:16 AM
Adoannie- I sympathize hun. I've been on Lexapro, geodon, adderal, prozac, zoloft, klonzapin, trazadone, risperdal, xananx...need I continue?
But 1 of my many diagnosos is OCD (I was actually hospitalized for it) ::Embaressed::
Just to name a few things
1. I cannot use a chair if it has been used by anybody in the room at the same time as me, as like (1 person is leaving for class- I will not sit in that chair- I need one that was empty when I walk in) 2. my food can't touch! Ewww!! (not really OCD but...) 3. If I'm going into an empty room alone, I always have to twist the doorknob twice first 4. I do a LOT of couting...my numbers that I often use are 3 and 18. 5.When I walk into my apartment the first thing I do before putting anything down is lock both locks and the chain thingy 6. Doing things to make equal such as if I 2 sets of napkins on the taple, I count each stack to make sure they have an equal amount. 7.My room must be tidy and clean at all times. My mom was visiting me this past weekend and she said, I need to sew this, you don't know where your little sewing kit is? I happen to pull it out right where I knew it was! 8. In my wallet my bills always have to be in order of amount...20,s then 10's, 5, 1's...etc. 9. Before I go to bed, I always tape record myself saying something like "Goodnight...it's 1:00am on 2/1/05 and I'm going to sleep. I love you all. (I don't know why I do that, I guess I'm afraid I'll die falling asleep. And I still have my baby blanket from when I was born...:::Embaresssed::: 10. I always always always have a drugstore in my purse. I am sooo afraid of getting sick when I am out or whatever...it's nuts. I was at the airport and they stopped me and asked to look at my stuff and obviously I said yea, and they looked at the pills and I was like "Sir! Wait- excuse I can tell you everything thats in there! Wait! Please sir!" He came back like 10 minutes later and he said all was fine and kinda rolled his eyes. When I got to my destination I threw them all out cause I had some kinda feeling that he put some acid on them or something... oh- Acid!! Thats the other thing. I was hearing people talk about how acid could be on anything from a handrail, to a desk, or a doorknob and since then...I've been frightented but I think it would be going past the limit to wear gloves all the time although I'd like to. And when I meet someone knew and they want to shake my hand, I get really hesitant and sometimes I refuse...I feel really bad bad- whatever.
So- those are 10 of many many more...
I appologize this post is going to be too long for some people and they are gonna yell at me. If ya don't like me or if ya think it's too long- SKIP IT!

re: What are you obsessive compulsive about? - SWEETQINTHELIGHTS Posted On: 9/21/05 at 08:59 PM
Well, since I actually have OCD, I do too many things to mention but when I finished reading this thread, before I posted, I checked to see if my door is locked and cleaned my ears with q-tips...
Other things I do are checking. Thats why I don't get sleep at night, cause I get up a million times to check things that I really know are fine but I can't trust myself.
I also do a lot of counting. And things have to be even/symmetrical. If I break a nail on my right hand, I auomatically have to break or cut my nail on my other hand. My counting numbers tend to be 3 or 18. For some reason, when I come in my apartment and I lock my door, I have to stand looking out the peep hole for 18 seconds...
alright, now that I'm making myself sound weirder every second....I think I'll shut up.

Well, no. It's a bit rich for someone to be bumping up posts about someone faking their own death when she herself seemingly faked her own death, wouldn't you think?

I was thinking the same thing. Only I'm not mean enough to make a person with OCD uncomfortable.
I have NEVER met Cheyenne Jackson. I have never hung out with him in his dressing room, he did not tweet me, he never bought me a beverage, and he mostly certainly didn't tickle me. . .that is all.
I don't post last night and I miss all of this fun?!? Wow...
