Do you know someone with a disorder of some sorts?

Everybody alive has OCD. I did not meet anyone carefree, not to have any worries. I've been working in a local hospital doing office work, and I got very diappointed in the nurses for having this disorder. Last Summer, one of the nurses, just because I've been waiting for her in her office to hand her a paperwork, when she came back she started to scream in fear and ran away screaming, though she knew me in a long time. Finally, she recognized my voice when I told her: "Sorry, I did not mean to startle you" and I could discuss with her about why I was there. She continues to startle and scream when she sees me, but does not notice is me and she comes back to herself when she has an attentive look to recognize me. This is only one of the weird medical staff I met there, and they are not institutionlized. This condition can be controled by medication, it is not necessary to be hospitalized.

I too have what the collective 'they' have come to call OCD. I'm pretty certain I could be labeled with many others as well. I have never been and still do not go with the main-stream-flow. It doesn't bother me like it used to. I've come to be ok with making the discretionary decision to avoid people who have not yet learned that they too aren't 100% perfect when seen through the screen of absolute perfection.

I think there are only few people, which we can count in our fingers who have no worries at all and are carefree. I also agree with all others that quite a few people or no people are worriless. I think it is common for humans to have worries. I think one should not keep on thinking about worries. I think most people have tension related to different things in life. I also have tension and worries related to different things. Sometimes I keep on thinking about job related tension or fiance realted things, etc. I think it would be wonderful for us to take our mind on our worries and spend time on different things. One of the way I remove my worries is spending time in the beach and taking chilled chocobars in the beach and playing with sea water.

My daughter is Autistic, OCD, dysgraphia, generalized anxiety disorder and some other things the dr. can't diagnose.

I've got OCD too. And like you I repeat phrases that I may hear, over and over and over and over and over and over again. I'm an insomniac simply because my OCD does not allow me to sleep. But it's always encouraging to know that you're not alone. Don't let people like that woman get you down. A lot of people seem to think OCD is hilarious, and I've never understood that. An anxiety order that only makes you more frustrated? Fun times.
