    Label Me.

    I'm going to give you guys an example of my every day life and I would like to know why I am like this. Better yet, why I continue to drive myself to this point.

    For example, I began a film marathon for myself to catch up on films I haven't seen. I try to watch at least one a day but strive for two or more. It gets to the point where I have to watch at least one film. I feel like if I don't watch anything for a few days, I'll put a slight dent in the daily average. I feel like by taking a break by a few days, I'll technically have withdrawn from the marathon.

    Another example, I see my girlfriend every day. This entire year, I've seen her every single day; not a day has passed that I haven't seen her. However, there are days when I am extremely tired or whatever the reason, that it would be best if we both stay home and rest. Again, I can't live with myself and I have to see her. In this case, I do want to see her every day so I'm not forcing myself. But again, since I've seen her every single day this year that if I don't see her for one day, I feel like I'm breaking... something.

    Does anybody know what I mean? Why am I like this?

      You know, I forgot to mention that because I believe I have OCD. I'm pretty certain I do but since I haven't been told so my a doctor, I can't say.

      I mean, what should I do? I do have other rituals I have to follow or else I'll pretty much kill myself; should I tell my doctor? I don't like him though.

        Yeah what you probably need to do is call up a therapist because they're really the only ones who have the tools to diagnose something like that.

          I would want to sit down with one and talk through everything. Ironically, I'll start feeling worse because I'll think I'm insane and seeking help.

            I think there's not as much stigma attached to seeing a therapist as there was even 10 years ago. I hypothesize that most Americans need one due to the type of lifestyle (too much stress and not enough spiritual fulfillment) that most lead. Maybe a lot of people fresh off the boat stigmatize it but ask Americans who have been here for a couple of generations and they'll say it's completely normal.

            In summary, it's probably best to go see one to make sure that you don't have OCD or something similar.

              What if I do? I'm pretty sure I do.

                It's no big thing man they'll just make you go to sessions and possibly meds which insurance should cover if you have it. They'll probably try and get to the root of what's making you have OCD (various environmental stressors probably). I'm not sure if OCD is something that you can "cure" or if it's something you'll have to deal with for the rest of your life b/c I'm not really educated on the subject.

                  It would be interesting if they try to get to the root of it, wow. I've been like this ever since I was a child. I don't know if I'm up to paying a couple hundred dollars an hour for a therapist. I have Google.
