I just want the book and $90 worth of crews. That will keep me happy until Black Friday. Not like I get enough games in to justify what I own as it is ;)

I have enough to paint now to keep me going for a little while, it is only the Seamus Crew that I have painted and based so far. I don't even own half of the masters on my sigature list

Out of curiosity, is something like having the urge to close your eyes while you are driving and count to 20 OCD?  Or is that just general insanity?  :P

 

There is no such thing as general insanity.

 

The counselor needing counseling. Irony. Good luck.

 

Job counselling, not personal counselling.

 

To be honest it is the tip of a very large iceberg. When I eat certain food groups must correspond to certain numbers and not touch other food groups. Doors must be open and shut 4 times, I need to climb 14 stairs at a time. Hands must be washed 4 times, shoes tied 5 times etc.

 

Now, people, that's OCD right there, as long as it's unwanted and diminishes his life quality.

 

I'm pretty sure if we all took mental and emotional inventory, we would all have our own lists of issues in here. I think that's why we stay lol

 

Personally: paranoid neurotic, anger management, borderline sociopath

 

Issues are pretty normal, I gather, although I gather your more general anxious than paranoid...

 

Some days it does, although I have developed some coping mechanisms of my own to cope with it. I have a desk organiser at work with coloured drawing pins so if things get bad I can empty them onto the desk and sort into compartments. I have a bowl full of coloured buttons at home to do the same with. Most of it is me telling myself that nothing bad is going to happen if i don't do it. When drunk or if I have smoked weed I can go one of two way, either I get over it completely or it kicks into high gear and I can't leave the toilet because I am compulsively washing and drying my hands

 

Do you get some consultations with a specialist from time to time?

I did although I stopped a few years ago. It just got to the point where I had introduced enough coping mechanisms that the OCD didn't get in the way to stop me functioning. A lot of it (cleanliness related) I overcame by Immersion Therapy as I knew that I needed to get over it to function properly as an adult or I would spend entire weeks cooped up inside cleaning the house, myself, the garden (that was a bad day) myself again. Now it is limited to counting and ensuring things are closed or done up correctly and will not become untied or open on their own... I can cope with that in the day to day

1. I know it's job counseling - my sarcasm and word play strike again. We all can't be as poetic as PD ;)

 

I know, I know.

 

2. I'm not sure if it is more anxiety or paranoia - I tend to look for everything that can possibly go wrong, make an inventory of how to stop all of it from happening, and then wait for the worst to come. Like, even when it's mundane, such as at the store or walking around doing errands. I just assume the absolute worst in all things so I am not surprised when it happens. Best case, nothing bad happens and I walk away thinking life is great.

 

That's General Anxiety. Paranoia is thinking someone is actively trying to harm you.

Occasional consultations are never a bad thing. Just saying.

I think its anxiety and a bad history. Because have I have this exact same thing. And it is exactly on the mundane and things I've done a million a times that I'm afraid will go wrong all the time everyday.
