[ ADD ME ]


I am 60 years old and was diagnosed with OCD in my early 30's. My OCD was extremely severe, along with major depression and eventually, I had to go on disability. I was previously a successful legal assistant. I have one son, who is all grown up. He's an only child and his father is deceased, so I'm basically all the family he has. If it weren't for him, I would have given up trying by now.

I'm pretty quiet and listen more than talk in social situations - basically I'm very shy and an introvert. My husband is the complete opposite and he finds it very hard to understand my OCD. (We've only been married 13 years.) I'll probably be the only one who doesn't make any friends on this site!


Sunny days, vacationing at Lake Cumberland, KY, dogs, especially mine! I like to help people less fortunate than myself, even though I'm far from rich. Good friends.

Bossy, arrogant people. People who don't "believe in OCD". Rainy, cold days. Wintertime. Large groups of strangers - being thrown into social situations with them, especially.

Can May be coming to an end so soon? More gardening with Elsie yesterday. She was playing the old game where we pretended we were on television, doing a gardening show. Such a great actress! Thank God, the garden is about full! Three tomato plants, two of which Otis was glad to see were boys, Burpee's Big Boy. He isn't interested in gardening. Anyway, gratefully I have no appointments all week and can just goof off around the house. I know something will ruin that plan!

Sorry you just can't break through with the shower problem. Is there any way you can approach it that would make a difference? Maybe change just a small part of it to make it less powerful? Hey, I have the major problems and panic at around 8 P.M. until 9 P.M., just around my bedtime rituals, and sometimes it seems like totally out of my control. But then last night, (don't laugh), I slept with a different new flash light under my pillow, which was a change. That's about the best I could do.

Hi Maryanne,

My soaps are my favorite shows to watch. I also must confess to some reality shows: the Voice, Survivor, the Amazing Race and Dancing with the Stars. Then there's drama: Revenge, the Following, Nashville, Dexter, the Client, Homeland, Nurse Jackie, Once Upon a Time. My comedy favs are: Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, Mike and Molly. And of course I love me some Anderson Cooper. Geez do you think I listed enough shows? lol. I bet you are sorry you asked. I have never watched the CSI shows for some reason but I bet I would have liked them. I may have to give them a try.
Have a nice day. I've got loads of yard work to keep me busy this weekend.

Jane :)

I have survived the appointment. Phew! I hate it, but I have a script that needs to be renewed every year. It wasn't so bad. You know that they don't do those pap tests to old ladies anymore, don't you? Every five years. Thank god for that. He said that next year I would be due for one...cholesterol good...I passed with the flying colors...oh, I don't care if I don't get that dresser. I have too much crap around here anyway.

How was your date night? Where do you go on date night. That sounds like a nice thing to do.

I am a tv-holic. But I mostly get stuck watching the shows my son likes.

Have a good day. I am off to the dreaded grocery store.

Activity:



Soft rock, '70's and '80's music. Some classical music for background - I find it soothing.

Anything about Abraham Lincoln - he's my hero! Murder mysteries.

Reading, gardening (flowers), crossword puzzles. Visiting historical homes/landmarks.
