Akuma:

I really really really [so many more "reallys", it feels like right now that it's useless to try to write all them out here]… needed your response this evening.
In particular this bit:

I do feel alone, quite often because part of the Pure OCD Vortex of Doom kind of makes one feel as though they may in fact know Tyler Durden personally:

1st RULE: You do not talk about PURE O.
2nd RULE: You DO NOT talk about PURE O.

Yes. And I'm not trying to make a late entry into the Crazy Olympics here, but I carry more than one diagnosis. In my experience, the complexity versus "that's not a big deal" reaction ratio is ridiculous in comparison to the other DXs that I have personal experience in discussing with other people.

You get more "so distract yourself" or "get a hobby", than "wow that must be awful and torturous and miserable and alienating and frightening". You even get "stop being such an attention *****" a lot.

Which are all things that you may have been afraid of in the first place.

I've written about compartmentalizing elsewhere, a little bit here. It's how I go day to day for the most part. It's totally messed up.

I relate a lot to what you wrote in the rest of your post. But yeah, writing too much.

Much appreciated. I'll keep it in the back of my mind.
Thanks again.
