I still don't like the OCD thing, it just reminds me of one 20-something friend who constantly talks about how she is bipolar. Number one it comes across as a way to indulge her ego, number two it's a gratuitous act of self-mythologizing (which i guess is what your 20s is all about), number 3 it's sort of a hipster flag of authenticity. All truly great artists are tortured souls. Hannah isn't just a spoiled woman too lazy to actually do any work, she is SUFFERING for her ART, she is TORTURED and trying to OVERCOME great odds. Puh-leeze.
I think you're projecting way too much here and/or don't understand mental illness. It's hardly 'constantly talking' about it, considering how much it probably would have actually affected her young life, to just drop it into a couple episodes like that. And if she was romanticizing it she probably wouldn't have written her character to be a spoiled woman too lazy to work.

yeah true fact: mental illness is not an affectation.

i was all 'uh oh' when the OCD thing started being foregrounded but, in fact, she nailed it and like many on this thread I speak from too much personal experience to be at risk of romanticizing. And if anything the grand finale you-have-saved-me is INCREDIBLY foreboding, like if she is having a full blown long lasting mega spike the last thing she needs is for him to babysit her in that way
― brad palsy (Jon Lewis), Friday, 12 April 2013 17:20 (eleven years ago) link
yeah i couldn't agree more with that. from the show's sensitive, and knowing portrayal of OCD, it's clear that they can't be so naive as to believe adam could just swoop in and "save" her. the show, i think, and lena dunham, know what they are doing.

same goes for him (adam), he is dialing for destruction

As an avid fan of both Girls and Nurse Jackie, I'm v disappointed I never made the connection how similar they were until like 3 days ago.
