what do you know about obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)?

i just made an appt with my doctor for tmw

i'm going to keep making more frequent appts with him he keeps up with all the medicine

Been wondering a lot about how many things in my life are OCD and what the first thing was, sometimes it's so subtle you don't notice a disorder. I think it only became a major problem in my 20s but I can see minor phases of it possibly stretching back to early childhood.

i remember exactly the day when mine started. like the moment. the girl, the conversation, the cafeteria.

i just met with my psychiatrist and he said it's not a bad idea for me to try some medication again. it's not specific to OCD but since my "symptoms" are mixed i'm giving it a shot. i tried it before but not under the right circumstances!

mmmmmaybe

it's been years since i've tried something - i get the major hesitation

Doing much much much better than the hole I was in when I last posted here. Still need to fix my reading OCD problem though.

I was talking with a bunch of OCD people recently and they pointed out how the trend of youngsters in fan communities and social media being extremely puritanical often seems a lot to do with OCD. The idea had crossed my mind, but discussing this and thinking about the paranoid dogmatic behavior, it makes a lot of sense. Really scary and sad that they're hanging out together and freaking each other out like this.
