I need glasses, if that counts .And one eye is worse than the other .lol .Im desperately scared of Spiders and heights ,I freeze when I look down on the second floor of a mall. I wont even lean up against a skyscraper window,thinking it will break and I will fall .And I have a lot anger .And Im scrupulous about my confession and sins ,thinking every thought is a sin ,and that I have to go to confession every day .

what's SPD Andrea? I'm obsessively and compulsively curious!

Ash Wednesday

I've managed a mild depression for years now. I'm not sure if it is a permanent biological condition, or what. I first suffered it because my thyroid bottomed out, so in that sense it was definitely biological. But I've been on medication ever since, and I'm not sure if I need it or not. Sometimes I just chalk it up to the dark, meloncholy but spiritual artist's temperment that is a part of who I am. Being an artist, it's almost like I was meant to have some "dark nights" of sorts.

When I had undiagnosed and untreated depression (which almost scary as hell) I had some symptoms of OCD, but nothing major. Just double checking a lot, but most of all being obsessive about food. I also weighed myself daily and measured my waist and thighs, every day. To make a long story short, in early college I had non-purging bulimia nervosa. Basically an eating disorder, but I wasn't inducing vomiting. However I was very obsessive about exercise and food to the point where I underwent that "dunk test" and had a body fat of 5.6% (which is fine... if you're a male gymnast!) and I had to see three doctors to get my body back to the point where I could at least rest knowing I could have children! At some point I realized the idea of being too thin to have children was at opposition to my faith.

Now, I would say I'm feeling pretty good, balanced and content in my own skin and with who I am. :)

My ex-boyfriend had, and probably still has, major OCD. He had blinking rituals (he blinked his eyes a lot) and would repeat things, or whisper things under his breath, like weird tics. He was NEVER unclean. He never left anything unclean, everything was at right angles -- obsessed with symmetry, even when he laid on his dorm bed he had to have his arms lined up parallel with the seams of his comforter when he was reading. He even folded his dirty laundry. And he did it quite nicely I might add, nicer than I fold my clean laundry.

I suffer from a disorder that many other high school and my fellow College students suffer from and that is Procrastination. It's a horrible thing and is sooooo hard to control.

It took a few months of praying the Rosary every single day, but doing that can heal anxiety and depression! I hate meds. I know that they are sometimes neccessary but i get addicted to pills easily and i think that they can make you worse because you may turn into a hypochondriac. Ya, so God helped me use my anxiety and depression to get addicted to the Rosary and fall further in love with Him.

Odd, I seem to suffer from procrastination disorder as well...

I think...
