Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

I hit a down spell... not with ocd, with my life and more so with my struggle to realize my full, real self and embrace my identity - glitches and all. I wasn't born a bright light just to hide. If someone doesn't like the light they can turn away, wear shades, or do whatever they need to do. I am cool with that. I just won't be pulling the shades down on myself any time soon.

I have harm OCD, with a lot of forms of checking behaviour. It is well controlled and I do well with it for the most part. I love helping others learn how to do the same and how to love their own light. Shine on!!

I have ADHD. I don't call it a disease, it is a difference but one that means I don't fit well into the way the non-adhd world works and that causes much stress and frustration. I used to think I was stupid. Not any more.

I also have a rare physical disability. It means I sprain, tear, dislocate and sublux most joints. I have had so many tumors I've lost count and I have ended up in the ER with broken arteries. I live with the risk of my aorta just bursting suddenly someday. This past summer I had the latest of 3 major surgeries, and it removed a part of my kidney.

I am ok. Don't ever feel bad for me. I feel blessed most of the time, not like I have some unfair lot. As hard as it can be some days, I feel I have a very rich perspective on life because of my struggles.

You. Yes, You there... I don't like you. Hahahaha, don't be so CEREAL. I hate onions, liars, arrogance,mean people, inequality,passive aggressiveness. I also dislike getting a dog hair stuck in my foot like a splinter.



Also not much of a fan of those who like to drag someone down but don't offer much help to others. I am not perfect but I try to help and contribute positively here. I've been through SO much that I have zero tolerance for crap attitudes.

No idea. I like a lot, dislike a lot more. I like the most awful pop/hiphop/dance/trance/crap when I need to get my groove on. Right now I am a big fan of Joss Stone's Colour Me Free.

I've read too many to list. Really. I'd read so many of the major classics, most Shakespeare, and whatever else I could get, before leaving high school. Now I find reading difficult because of the ADHD and OCD. I don't like fiction much.

I don't like movies much.

BEING %$#@! GRATEFUL FOR EVERY DAY NO MATTER HOW MISERABLE I FEEL BECAUSE I AM SO FLIPPIN' LUCKY. Yes, L-U-C-K-Y. I can turn on a tap to get clean water. I don't have to worry about crocodiles. I can go use a bathtub in safety and not have to worry about tigers killing me in the woods. I can turn on the heat. I can buy food or even go to a foodbank... but even then, at least I can go to one instead of dying on the roadside or being filmed while dying, covered in flies, to air on some western nation's charity fund raiser on TV.
