Thanks guys for all your replies,

I'm glad I'm not alone on this one. Well I have talked to my therapist about underlying reasons why some sort of person would bother me for weeks on end and other people are just a quick memory.

To Sannah. Quite astute of you. Great observation. Because I feel I might have a theory. So here goes:

The two types of personalities or profiles of the two people I would have anxiety over are as follows. Women, not terribly attractive, my age range, heavy set. Bossy, loudmouthy, yet they think they are clever. The kind of person who yells at store clerks. Very similer, the two.

Anyway, when I was a kid, we had a roomate. Money was tight back then. The lady who lived with us was horrible to me and my sister. Like scream at us, yell, rude, arrogant, bossy. Real general kinda jerk. All when my mom wasn't home, basically. She ended up killing herself years later. She had a son named Buddy. I remember he had bad scars from some hot water that spilled on him. I always suspected she threw it on him.

So I'm thinking there is some sort of correlation. I don't hate women, as a matter of fact, I'm quite fond of them. Also I've had female bosses who sort of fit the profile, yet I got along great with them. Just somewhere along the way these people rubbed me the wrong way.

Alas, I'm stuck thinking about them, even though I hate thinking about them. Which give me anxiety because I can't stop thinking about them, which brings on the depression.....blah.

Another weird thing, is in my thoughts about these people, I seem to give them a lot of power over me. Like what if this home owner associastion lady became president of the board and did all these crazy things with the rules, or if the lady at work got promoted over me and I had to work under her, etc.
All unreal, yet I seem to make it my reality.

So I'm a little OCD, and a little paranoia, a little depression, I think, ha ha.

To Thunderbear,
What is DBT?

Anyway guys, nice talking to you all. sure does feel better to spill it all out in type!!

Bye now
