I have obsessive compulsive disorder.

You need help Ashes.

Seriously.

And you know it too - else you wouldn't be asking.

Yeah, and you need help to realize I was being sarcastic in asking. I need help, had help, have help, and have come to the conclusion that I need to help myself.

Ok Ok Ashes... I see what this is now. I was simply pointing out the obvious to you and not trying to be snotty.

Go back to your attention seeking.:rolleyes:

I fixate on different challenges. This is especially true of challenges that are difficult for me to understand and work through. Obviously, they have to be of some interest to me. But, if they are of interest, then I cannot seem to drop it until I feel that I have mastered it. Or until I can at least arrive at answers that make me comfortable. I can research and analyze for hours, days, weeks, months, etc... Unfortunately, those around me aren't half as interested in these subjects as I am. So I feel that I have to know when to stop talking lest I appear crazed. This tendency is probably what enabled me to perform so well in law school. I could grasp on to materials and analyze them to the point of sheer insanity. I enjoyed it. It can be a very negative trait too since I tend to become a bit reclusive and then lonely and even a bit socially awkward. It's a vicious cycle. I'm trying to teach myself to shut that tendency off and get out more with real live people. :o :(

Face it, we're all a bunch of freaks. :p :D

I think you should be castrated. :barf: You disgust me. But hell, WTF cares what you think? You are nobody. :cool:

You should be sterilized by having your ovaries cut out.

You disgust me.

Please do not raise any kids who will be as screwed up as you are.

But WTF cares about what you think. You are a nobody.

(Doesn't sound so nice when the shoe is on the other foot, does it?)


But back to your original posting - you do have problems and you know it. You simply want validation and sympathy. You cannot handle having the blunt truth stated to you. And actually, I never said anything harsh. You are the one who listed all your... quirks. Not me. Judging by your response to a suggestion from me, you need to get back on your meds and fast.
 
I hope that everybody who still doubts that Ashes is a complete and utter nutcase reads this thread.
 
WOW! Now I see what happens to decent threads when I go to sleep at night! I'm pretty sure Needle doesn't appreciate the hijacking of his thread so out of respect for him please tone it down or I will tone it down for you. Capische? :grumpy:
 
Sorry Kalooch.I can now see that above post could be misconstrued as "mod sass.It's not. :foot:
 
Thanks Ken, much appreciated :D :thumbup:

I only have two speeds, full ahead and full stop, for everything. I spend 98% of my time completely bored, basically waiting for something to spark my interest, and then I go full bore and either get it done or burn out if it was some kind of hobby type interest.

One problem I have is that I can never forget about what I have to do later. For instance, for the past week I have had to do a TON of reading for History each night. Well I'd try to read but would have trouble concentrating, then I'd stop, or before I started, I'd convince myself to go do something else for a few minutes just to enjoy myself a little that night, but I couldn't enjoy it because the reading hung over my head. I end up spinning my tires and being miserable but getting nothing done. Very aggravating :mad: I'm now thinking that these might just be issues of me being a high-stress person, and I'll have to work on that.
 
Think of OCD as an end member of a series that has ADD at the other end. Starting somewhere in the middle and progressing towards the OCD end is a field that might be termed productivity.

It sounds like you are on the right side of the spectrum to accomplish something if you are able to organize your obsessivity.
