What is Ocd?
1.
A.)Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, a mental illness resulting in persistant illogical fears and ideas, and often, particular habits created and followed out so as to avoid the fears and anxiety they cause.
B.) Why I suffer.
A.) In the sixth grade, I was so afraid of choking on food that I would only eat soup or mashed potatoes. I weighed 60 lbs, and almost died before I slowly was brought onto solid foods again.
B.) I'm afraid of eveything now. Its stupid, but I can't stop it. I'm afraid of people, yet I love them. I want love, but I'm too cowardly to look for it. Instead I get caught up in the deluded fantasies in my head and wait for the world to go away.

Short for Obsseive Compulsive Disorder
OCD Is a disorder that cause Obessive thoughts and/or compulsive actions resulting from a shortage of a chemical inside the frontal lobe of the brain. There are many ways to take care of OCD. The two best ways are behavior therapy and medication (what I use). Unlike most other mental disorders people with OCD lead mostly normal lives and are aware of their disorder. The disorder can be extremely stressful on it's victims. In fact is a stress so bad that most people without the disorder have probably ever experienced.

One of the most hardest disorders to live with.
When you have it, its difficult you feel empty, you get headaches when people don't do things your way, you become a perfectionist, you take your anger out by screaming, you don't like to talk to a therapist, you hate germs.
Your therapist continues to tell you to shorten your OCD, "rituals" you feel extremly awkward and empty.
You hate it when people make fun of OCD,
you hate when people call it a " mental disorder"
you hate it when people call you " crazy "
You get scared & nervous, very very quickly.
Sometimes OCD can lead to panic attacks, anxiety disorders, ulcers, and depressions.
incase you didn't notice, i have OCD, so take it from me, not some asshole who's making fun of it.
THERAPIST: try to not do your rituals.
OCD PATIENT: its hard, i feel so strange.

A mental disorder in which there is a chemical imbalance in the brain.
It really sucks a lot. I keep thinking the world's going to end and every time I hear an airplane or any noise I keep running to my window and stare outside until it goes away because I think it's an asteroid.
I also hide food because I don't want people to think I'm fat or get yelled at by my mom.
It's a very, very depressing disorder and I hate it very much.
I take a small dosage of Anafranil for my OCD.
