Letter to OCDDear OCD,
      No, I will not tell you how may stairs are in the house. I've already told you... how many times? No, I will not count how many times I've counted for you. No, I will not count how many letter were in that sentence I just said, and subract 5.
   The last page of the book says "Page 500". I don't have to count every single page, just to make sure.
   My hands are clean. I don't have to wash them exactly 35 times after washing them.
   "Duh" is not a number.
   If my hands are red from washing them so much, washing them again won'

Coping With OCD I suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder. It is my belief that obsessive-compulsive disorder is misunderstood by the masses. People have a tendency to use it to describe their organizational habits or their fandom obsessions, but it is a genuine affliction, and while it is based on trivial thoughts, the effects of it are far from trivial - they are destructive and powerful. I was officially diagnosed with OCD a few months ago, but I have suspected it nearly my entire life.

OCD is an anxiety disorder. It is based on obsessive thoughts that cause great anxiety, and in order to relieve those thoughts the sufferer performs compulsio

OCDDid I lock the car?
Did I lock the front door?
Is the gate closed?
Are the candles blown out?

My car is fine…
1-2-3-4-5
The front door is locked…
1-2-3-4-5

Calm down, everything is okay
Nothing will happen, don't worry so much
Breathe in easy; breathe out calm
Easy, Calm; Easy, Calm

I hate these rituals
I hate checking constantly
I don't want to be anal
I don't want to be paranoid

I know I can fight this
It's my mind and nobody else's
The rituals will stop
I know they will

:ocd:You're lucky it's not that bad yet.
Yeah, well you don't know what I do on my own time.
On my own I let it all go. Sit on the floor and claw at mind. Turn out the lights and stare.
Then it comes to me.
You tell me to think about something else.
But everyting else on my mind just swallows up the distractions.
Do something to get your mind off it.
But it's not that easy. Honestly, the things I think about
I'm afraid to write down.
I don't want people I know to know.
Hell, I don't even want people I don't know to know.
And it's past the point where I'm scared of it.
Past the point where I hide myself because I'm afraid I'll do it.

OCD no jokeOCD is not a joke! It doesn't always mean you're a neat freak or are always washing your hands. I have OCD. I have not been diagnosed by a professional but I have it. It's not funny. It's not something to joke about. You don't know how many times a day this Illness scares me. It's insane! I have mainly the Obsession's part of OCD AKA Intrusive Thoughts. These thoughts are unwelcome, involuntary and are often aggressive thoughts inappropriate sexual thoughts or blasphemous religious thoughts. I have thoughts like these on a regular basis. These thoughts are nagging and won't go away no matter how hard I try to get rid of them. The aggressive t

She counted as she slowly walked down the long hallway. The bright white walls seemed to scream at her as she watched her shadow pace itself with her. The building was cold, and she had a slight case of goose bumps. The floor tiles had a checkered pattern of green and white. She made it very clear that she was only able to step on the green ones, as not to be consumed by the white.

Five, six, seven, eight,

She turned the corner and a plainly sanitized odor over took her. She coughed slightly allowing the burning in her nose to subside before she moved forward. The green tiles had disappeared now, but have been replac

Bound and BlindAn animal trapped on a painted pedestal
in a gilded circus cage,
poked and prodded by heartless trainers
and sightseers through the day.
It sits and it waits with a predator's patience
for the freedom it knows shall come,
perhaps tomorrow or far in the future;
a new world beneath an old sun.

And when it is free, wild it shall be-
as a creature of blood is meant.
By laws of the jungle, of life, of survival
there can be no second sent.
An eye is gone, and it shall be repaid,
for an eye for an eye is the law;
and the whole world is blind, but what cares the mind
when justice is found in its maw...

and the world is so harsh and so

A Day In My Life With O.C.DHave you ever had you lungs close up, your heart hammering in your chest, your brain begging on its hands and knees with your windpipe to unblock itself and let oxygen wash through your body all because your desk is not in alignment with the others in the classroom? Or how about jittering at your desk with sticky palms and quaking in fear because your teacher has marked your jotter in red pen? And all the while your fellow classmates and teacher alike carry on with their lives, oblivious to your increasing desperate pleas for your lungs to start working again.

I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (O.C.D). O.C.D is an anxiety disorder. It is

Uprising in GreyThe sky was grey, as usual. Every day I took note of everything I could –as subtly as I could. Whether it was noticing that 491-C's limp was worse, or figuring out when someone forgot to put pepper in the mashed potatoes at lunch. Sometimes I thought if I didn't do this I would lose myself, like most everybody else.

I was walking inside a large crowd; we were all heading towards the same place. The institution. Once a week we all had a check up, to make sure everything was "in order". In other words, to make sure we were all still completely under control. My steps faltered thinking about the consequences of my resistance.

Who just with a smile
Can make the world brighter
And more worth the while
Who can make children and dreamers
And skeptics agree
That the best thing in life

_{One, two, three, four
It's finally opened now shut the door

Five, six, seven, eight
You did it wrong, won't this be great?

Nine, ten, eleven, twelve
Do it again with the doorknob you held

Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen
Put your hands on it so it's in between

Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, Haha…
Turn your hands so you touch it right,

Twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four, Hahaha!
It annoys you so, you try to keep the thoughts out of sight

Twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven, twenty-eight, Ahahahaha!
You shut the door, and walk to your bed

Even if it's only in your head…

Now you won't get sick
The fear is gone
Spit on the ground
And try to sleep 'til dawn

You finally got it right
But you do it all again
Just to turn out the light

Even though it's all in your head
You feel crazy and out of your mind
Like the psycho killer watches you from behind

And even though it's all in your head
You just still wish you were dead}

_{I saw a lot of OCD poetry on here, and I wanted to put in my two cents.

OCD is really hard to live with, as tons of you would know.

Let us all hope we get the treatment we need.}
