Does It All Make Sense Now?

So last week I paid a visit to the shrink. Why? A series of obsessive, distracting thoughts and impulses over the past 2 weeks has started to derail my everyday life, and disrupt my everyday activites.

The good doctor told me that I have OCD. {Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.}

Some Symptoms:

• I constantly count things: people in the room, letters in words, cars stopped at red lights, how many times people say words, Fibonacci Numbers, etc.
• I constantly do math problems in my head.
• I constantly draw imaginary lines in my head from corner to corner of objects, and keep doing so until i run out of corners or cross lines.

• When cleaning, everything has to go in its exact place, if its not in its place then it gets put in its place. I am not done cleaning until everything is in the correct place.
• I hoard EVERYTHING. It doesnt matter how useless, I hold onto it no matter what.
• I memorize car license plates.
• I have constantly changing obsessions--rock climbing, aquaria, pyrotechnics, plants, cooking, taxes, etc.
• I constantly have strange thoughts that I cant keep to myself. Weird weird thoughts.
  

Sound like me? Yeah these are all symptoms of OCD. Hmm, you learn something new everyday...
