Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Im 23, lived in maine all my life. Met my gf at college (she was my R.A. at the time) somehow we've been together for about 4 years now through all of this stuff. I have a great family and tons of friends for support...they rock. I'm a dad now, my son is 2 months old, his name is Miles James Tavares. Hes a happy healthy little boy, tall n skinny in the 90th percentile for his hight and 50th for everything else, good lookin kid. I believe humor is the key to a happyness, and the meaning of life is happyness..so get laughing. I was headed down the wrong path with my thoughts and behavior and I couldn't quite figure out why, it put me on this search for truth which lead me to OCD. Now that I know that I have an anxiety disorder and how it works I'm not scared of anything. I wake up every day dispite what horrifying nightmares may have plagued my mind the night before with a Bring it on kind of attitude. "there is nothing to fear but fear it's self". in our case this is important, fear is supposed to protect your life not ruin it. I spend every day building my skills for maintaining a healthy mindset and thinking about how I can possibly aid others with the knowledge that I gain. I am a very open person so if anything is on anybody's mind send it my way and I'll try to lend what words of wisdom i can offer. Life is good!

Music, cooking, psychology, my kid, life, feeling good, my dog lola, laughing at silly OCD thoughts, boobs (lol sorry), chai tea, chillin in my bathrobe, video games (if nebody plays xbox 360 live hit me up), and I love all things creative and inspiring.

OCD-induced crazytime. dickheads, soap operas, falling down stairs, breaking guitar strings, sub zero temperatures, forgetting to pay my bills, rufies, breaking my bosses equipment,

jazz,funk,blues,some rock,some folk, big fan of bela fleck/victor wooten, jeff shmidt, don ross/andy mckee, ron baggerman, tons of stuff as long as it sounds good and reflects the inner love of music.
