A little something about me:

I deal with OCD on a daily basis, but sometimes it really acts up, which it has been lately. Sometimes I do things that are just silly for the simple fact that it makes me feel better or slightly more relaxed.

When I am rational and really think about it, I understand that doing these things (rituals) are foolish and most often a waste of time, but at the same time cannot help feeling better when I “have” to do them.

Of course I cannot feel bad for myself because I also refuse to go on medication for it, because I fear (yes there is some paranoia as well) that I will be labeled as crazy. So what better way to make it public, other than confidential doctors records, is to blog it.
