OCD or the most heartbreaking reason to leave the door unlocked

[Warpy]

If you ever wondered what it was like, this is OCD.

1. Was it real OCD?

or memorex, Warpy?

It was a great poem!

5. Does it matter?

[MrMickeysMom]

... but you spoke as if you knew something I didn't.

4. That man deserves an award.

[Control-Z]

8. For the poetry?

Or for living with the disorder?

Both require brilliance, imo.

9. For his brilliance, certainly.

He was able to express himself in a way that deserved an award.

10. We had to separate these two women who shared a hotel room once

when we were training in Georgia. It was a strange coincidence that they both had a history of having been sexual assault victims. One insisted she needed to have absolute silence at night when she slept. She wanted to hear if anyone broke in so she could escape or defend herself. The other one wanted the TV on at ear blasting decibels. Too much quiet made her stay awake, unnerved by the slightest rustling and it gave her a sense of security that the TV drowned out furtive noises. I don't know if that meets the strict definition of obsessive compulsion, but they were obsessed with their behavior and compelled to do it or they'd be in acute distress.

11. The situations you describe, are more indicative

of PTSD than OCD.
