Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

My religion is what's helping me get through my OCD. God has done miracles in my life, and I know I can trust in him to help me. At least, I'm trying to believe that. It's hard, but I think I can do it. Ask me about it. Or anything else, for that matter. Or just come to chat. Email me at weaselgirl232@aim.com.

Reptiles! I used to have quite the collection, but I've dwindled it down to just Archie, my ball python, since I'm going to college next year. He's the best stress-reliever, I just put him around my neck and it's like he soaks the fear right out of me. I also rubik's cube for fun, and am currently experimenting with aerial arts- that's one thing that really helped my anxiety, surprisingly.

OCD, anxiety, people who tell you "no" whenever possible rather than "yes", people who never try to understand, laziness, wasted talent/intelligence, the mental illness stigma, MEDIOCRITY.

Alternative, Rock, Classical (yes, classical), jazz, Christian rock and pop

If I absolutely had to pick, I'd say anything sci-fi. Or fantasy. Or mystery. Or by Edgar Allan Poe. Classics are good too- Camus, Dante, Dickens, the greats. I love to read.

I love psychological thrillers and indie movies, and an occasional chick-flick if I'm panicking and my best friend drags me out from under my fleece.

Herping (that's the verb for reptile-keeping and hobbying), cubing, reading (a lot), writing
