OCD and Me

• You make a list of your lists
• The clothes in your closet are grouped by garment type, with subgroups by color
• You look both ways before crossing the street…3 times
• You named your children in alphabetical order
• You have a different color bath towel for each day of the week
• Your DVD’s are stored in alphabetical order, and you know exactly which movie your family took out to watch
• You buy hand sanitizer by the gallon
• Your favorite song is Barney’s Clean Up song
• You use a different color pen for work, personal, and kids schedules on your calendar
• You don’t realize that the TV Show Monk is supposed to be funny
• You think everyone does what’s on this list

Thank you for visiting my blog about obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Throughout my life, I have come to realize that many of my “quirks” may actually be associated to OCD. Some of my tendencies have actually had a positive influence on my life - my need for perfection has made me a “detail-oriented” employee, and some have had a negative influence - my need to recheck things has made me late for just about everything. I hope you will learn something from my blog, and maybe enjoy a little humor at the same time.

Until next time….
