Imagine that your mind got stuck
on a certain thought or image…
Then this thought or image got replayed in your mind
over and
over again
no matter what you did…
You don’t want these thoughts — it feels like an avalanche…
Along with the thoughts come intense feelings of anxiety…
Anxiety is your brain’s alarm system. When you feel anxious, it feels like you are in danger. Anxiety is an emotion that tells you to respond, react, protect yourself, DO SOMETHING!
On the one hand, you might recognize that the fear doesn’t make sense, doesn’t seem reasonable, yet it still feels very real, intense, and true…
Why would your brain lie?
Why would you have these feelings if they weren’t true? Feelings don’t lie… Do they?
Unfortunately, if you have OCD, they do lie. If you have OCD, the warning system in your brain is not working correctly. Your brain is telling you that you are in danger when you are not.
When scientists compare pictures of the brains of groups of people with OCD, they can see that some areas of the brain are different than the brains of people who don’t have OCD.
Those tortured with OCD are desperately trying to get away from paralyzing, unending anxiety…

Obsessions are thoughts, images or impulses that occur over and over again and feel outside of the person’s control. Individuals with OCD do not want to have these thoughts and find them disturbing. In most cases, people with OCD realize that these thoughts don’t make any sense. Obsessions are typically accompanied by intense and uncomfortable feelings such as fear, disgust, doubt, or a feeling that things have to be done in a way that is “just right.” In the context of OCD, obsessions are time consuming and get in the way of important activities the person values. This last part is extremely important to keep in mind as it, in part, determines whether someone has OCD — a psychological disorder — rather than an obsessive personality trait.
Compulsions are the second part of obsessive compulsive disorder. These are repetitive behaviors or thoughts that a person uses with the intention of neutralizing, counteracting, or making their obsessions go away. People with OCD realize this is only a temporary solution but without a better way to cope they rely on the compulsion as a temporary escape. Compulsions can also include avoiding situations that trigger obsessions. Compulsions are time consuming and get in the way of important activities the person values.

1. If I'm smart enough to figure you guys out just by thinking a little, don't you think entities of higher power would be? I have done little to know research. Seriously, just thought processes because not one word out of fuckboy's mouth that was spoken to me was true.
2. I don't hate you. I am seriously trying to make you reconsider the things you do because I truly do care and think that all of you have it in you to be extremely successful people. i.e. you could all have amazing programing jobs where you could make a ton of money. sure you might have to answer to someone; but that's more sustainable.
3. I truly give each of you my best wishes and endless love.
4. I say the things I do because I truly can foresee the future sometimes and wouldn't want to see anyone truly effed in the A forever.
5. You can't continue what you do and expect to not reap any consequences.
Truth is I really do care.

Where people who rarely leave loserville come from. The residence of loserville rarely have any integrity and tend to pass judgement onto everyone they deem 'below' them. Loserville, Arkansas has a high suicide rate because few residence have a heart or soul, but go to 'church' in order to make them feel better about their pathetic, un-worldly, not sophistcated, shallow point of view. These people tend to think they are better than everyone and need to be more open minded.
