Hi Refuse2Sink: The Skeezyks hasn't been diagnosed as having OCD. (Actually the Skeezyks hasn't ever been formally diagnosed with anything he's aware of...) But I saw that no one had replied to your post, so I thought I would.

I do have some OCD types of traits. As a child, I bit my fingernails. (I also bumped my head at night to go to sleep.) In my late teens I decided I wanted to break myself of my nail biting. And I was able to do so. Then I discovered hair pulling! I've been a hair puller ever since.

Over the years there's also been some more dangerous stuff. What I have found is that when whatever it was I was doing did enough damage, I was then able to stop. Stuff that wasn't dangerous, I have just kept on doing. As a result, I guess I don't really have any particular coping skills to share. I'd have to say that being here on PC is, in a sense, a coping mechanism for me I suppose. I spend a lot of time here! And, while I'm here on PC, I can't be off getting into mischief...
