karenmeal 0 #26 December 21, 2005 When I eat apple-crisp (or any other type of crisp) I eat the fruit first, then leave the crisp bits till last. If I don't do this, then it feels like a waste of crisp. It's tough.. but somehow I manage.

mirochristie 0 #29 December 22, 2005 yeah! i was diagnosed with ocd when i was 16. too many stuff going on. food issues, family matters, developing, growing pains and it just got worse and worse and i ended up in a clinic. at first they had me in 2 prozacs a day.jajajaja... i know! then, they lowered the dose to 1 a day and 1 buspar a day to control my compulsiveness. then, .. with time, they changed my prozac for paxil. until i was no longer a patient. and, oh yeah!... until i found my new drug.. and passion..

karenmeal 0 #30 December 22, 2005 I've gotten really compulsive with my grades. The last several weeks I've been continuously figuring out how each exam would affect my GPA. So I figured out my GPA atleast 20 some times. Now I just got my grades, and it's .015 lower than what I wanted.It's not like the .015 difference would boost me to a 4.0 or something like that.. it's more just an arbitrary number I was shooting for. Am I weird now? Oh.. and I just made TONS of jam for christmas presents (50 jars or so) and I've lined them up on the table in rows and columns that form a harmonious color pattern. Should I seek help? "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnMitchell 16 #32 December 22, 2005 Quote So that when I am finished with dinner, I can relax. I also can't go to bed if there are dishes in the sink. Drives me CRAAAZY!!! You say that like that's a bad thing! I'm not quite as dedicated as you, but I clean up as I cook, so that I always have room to work in the kitchen. Very easy habit to develop, and it saves a ton of time. By the time dinner's ready, the kitchen is pretty much sqared away. I also hate to start the day with a dirty kitchen. Much better to clean the night before and have a relaxing breakfast. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know, she mis-places things. Whenever she is looking for something in particular and I find it first, I'll put it in my pocket until she gives-up looking. I'll pull it out of my pocket and dangle it till she looks at it. She says I'm 'mean'? I don't get it? She knows I keep things in 'their' place. She'll purposely leave something for me to pick-up... then laugh like hell!
