Hello and welcome!

Maybe you're here becuase you're just curious, or maybe you're here cause you, like me have the disorder known as Obsessive Compulsive disorder. A < What is OCD? What is OCD. Yeah I'd like to know too. I can say as a person who has it, it's a nasty little thing. It's actually a bunch of brain chemicals that well make it hard to think, ie. make it hard for normal fears and worries to process through the brain. So say for instance - before leaving your home, you check to see if your Cd player is indeed off. So you go back and you look to see if it's off. It's off. You leave. A person with OCD goes back, 1,2 , 3 , 4, 5, times and then STLL worries that it is indeed still on and something bad will happen if it is on. This is not a good feeling. Other common fears and worries revolve around -

Rape

natural disasters

Fear something bad will happen if we don't complete one of our rituals. etc...... Some of the things we do - We wash our hands many times in a row, untill they bleed even Check things repeated times Count things (Some have certain numbers or combinations of numbers that are "good," or "Bad" and more. Check things numerous times Keep doing things untill they seem "just right" etc.... the list goes on........

There's been a few movies made aobut people w/ OCD and other anxiety disorders. Most of them are comedies. If only what we were feeling was "funny" as well. *sighs*

It's a hard disease to combat , but with time It's possible. Here are some links that I hope will help.
