OCD. What a stupid thing to have. I mean really how silly I feel rubbing my nose just the right way, drying my back with a towel six times on the right, then 10 on the left. If I forget to drag the towel across my left ear just right, guess what, square one. Do it all again. I almost made me and my son late for the movies today because I couldnt stop drying my darn back. Arrrgghhh. Then of course on the way there I have to tap my right heel against the kick panel in my car all the way there. Not just tap mind you but tap, twice, then four times, then 8 then 16. Man this is killing me. My nose hurts from rubbing it, my throat hurts from making what my mother calls "piggy noises", and I feel totally stupid. I have to wait until Im pushing 60 to get a damn appointment with a phsychiatrist aroud this one pony town. The medical DR I went to wouldnt give me anything for it and acted like he really didnt care. The idiot told me to try and just "not do it so much" Obviously he got his degree through Cheerios box tops or something. Any professional would never tell someone with OCD that they could simply stop counting and rubbing things so much. He actually said to me, just try doing something else to take your mind off it. Uumm excuse me but if I could just do that it wouldnt be the horrible disease it is right? Anyway, Im venting here a little, its just so frustrating. Oh and no I dont know how to spell phsychiatrist !! LOL
