I wanted to start a forum about OCD but I kept checking to see if someone else had .

Thanks . I do know a lot about OCD though and I know it's a serious bitch .

What's that?

tomtrytostay
Oh obsessive compulsive disorder .

It's not just about checking and cleaning , your thoughts get seriously screwed up and you don't think straight .

No matter what anyone says you just can't think clearly .

So there is the obsession and the compulsion . I've learned how to tackle both .

I think there is also fixating though . Talking about the same thing over and over and I don't think I've learned to cope with that yet . Maybe never will .

I see, acronyms in English are a mess, you put everything upside down. Do you mean you feel on that way?

tomtrytostay

I'm not sure what you mean. I guess so. 

Like for example I will notice something and just talk about it so often for so long that people around me say enough!

I don't notice itself myself really. It's like my mind just gets stuck on something.

Like a broken record player.

OCHD is what I think the shrinks call it now...my former girlfriend had it. Maybe there is a difference between OCD and OCHD?

In a way, everyone is at least a little crazy.

Jen .
I see it like this .
Think of physical health . Who has an absolutely perfect physical health? I don't think that exists . Even if it does it sure doesn't last . It's the same with mental health . Life beats us up and wear and tear happens . It's only natural .
Can we completely recover from everything that happens to us? I wonder about that .

Never heard of OCHD. I guess these things are a spectrum anyway . It's probably a little different for everyone .
I think though obsession and compulsion are common .

I'd say that superstition and ritualistic behaviour happens in a massive amount of people and those that are perfectly stable if given enough pressure will slowly start to crack . It's inevitable . We are only human.

TRUE STORY

last time i coped on threads with a disorder, it was a one who got bipolar bear disorder, and I gave precious suggestions as "fire the psy, throw the meds,

don't INSTITUTIONALIZE the disorder therapies,

change your profile's pic (it was awful and ugly etc ...)

stop to bother us with borrachos posts about futbol on threads about movies, etc ....."

 

she just was angry and insulted me and ...did what I said. Now she has a noce pic', is better, and just explains others how to commit suicide on female chess threads, and forgets suicide for her. I DID IT, I DID IT."

so here a few suggestions will come soonLaughing
