ARE YOU OBSESSive/COMPULSIVE?
Just curious guys -
I know I am about a few things. I may just be a creature of habit but I need my grits with soyanuts and cheddar in the mornings and I need at least two shots of vodka at night..
It makes me think about all the compulsions I had before the surgery - I mean, dang, I used to go to Fazoli's everyday I had a real job in a real location - and I would order broccolli lasagna with those yummy garlic breadsticks - I loved that sh**.... but that or Pizza Hut personal pans with cheese, onions and jalapenos.
I love pizza - that's a true compulsion that's never gonna go away.
You all know I smoke like a fiend.
I drink every evening and YES, i do enjoy my vodka or Jack Ds.
But beyond that -
I am meticulous about my work.
I am a perfectionist in my design area.
I am highly critical of everyone who works around me - - I need to work on that
I have moved these compulsions now to different areas of my life. I walk a hell of a lot everyday - because I CAN now finally - thank you Krishna!!
I also am compulsive about getting in all my vitamins and protein and calcium.
I am compulsive about shopping now - craparooni - I love going out and spending money upon clothes I DAMN well know won't fit into my bursting closet - or maybe even on my body.
I am compulsive about breathign now and NOT napping in the afternoons!
Are you O/C??? and what do you do??

I was diagnosed with OCD a long time ago. I always have to put on my right sock and sho firat, but I tie the left one first always. I count the steps I take everywhere, as well as how many tractor trailers I pass when I am driving. Before I go to bed I check all the doors in the house twice each to make sure they are locked. Those are just some of the things.

Oh, Honey -
I am so paranoid about tractor/trailors - I had a dream once that the cause of my ultimate death woul dbe a big red semi with shiny chrome - so you can guess every time I see one - I get nuts.
Anything is surpassable - this surgery has taught me that. Much of our habits come from fear. We are so much more...I love ya, hunny,

I have a little bit of everything!! Ha!
I used to count letters in words all day long! Someone would say something to me.....I'd start to count how many letters were in each sentence! Sick, I know!! I would get all freaky if there was an odd number of letters!
I don't do that anymore-I made myself stop.
ALSO~
I also used to do algebraic (sp?) formulas in my head--ALL day long! Only the simple ones though! No brainiac here!!!
I also made myself stop doing that too. Although, on occasion, I'll find myself counting God knows what on my fingers. I'm not even aware of when I'm doing it.

All my life I think I had this thing that would happen sometimes like if I DON'T do something something else will happen.. It could be picking up a peice of string or straighting something on a table or the bed .. If i don't do it something bad might happen. So I do whatever is is quickly and move on to something else... I know in my head and heart that this is just a load of crap.. But I still find myself doing stuff like this.. weird huh?
peace
