Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    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.

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?

      Re: Label Me.

      You're normal. Every organized person I know who can adhere to any sort of daily schedule has some level of OCD. Don't look into it so much, be glad you have this "disorder" as it'll serve you well in your life of business and dealing with people.

      However, you should instead focus on including beneficial activities to your daily routine, like reading, advancing your career in some way, working out, etc.

      For example: I'll go insane if I don't atleast learn one new piece of info relating to my career every day. Sure, it'll add a little more pressure on myself to stick to this, but in the end, I'll be a slightly better professional because of it.

        I understand this but there are certain aspects of my condition where I can tell it's for the bad.

        I already do that to a certain extent.

          Don't doubt yourself, you should seek a professional just to make sure. What can you lose, a couple of dollars? Your health is worth it.

            Re: Label Me.

            It really does sound like OCD. There are so many varieties. Having repeated thoughts about certain things which you consider often to be unreasonable, yet not knowing what causes you to have them and you can't help having them and feeling guilty...that sounds like OCD. I believe it's a little difficult because you can't keep your thoughts under control, they just flow against your wishes. I think that medication can stabilize this. It's really a more common condition than we think. But then again, I am full of ignorant comments, so what do I know?

                  Stop watching movies and stop seeing her for a week. Just 7 days.

                  That'll really test your relationship and will power.

                    Re: Label Me.

                    My grandmother seems to have ocd for certain things, she comes to see us every day, it pains her not to, and my sister is quite hostile towards here, but my grandmother takes it and still needs to come for whatever inner reason it is to help take care of us in the only way she knows how (even though we've reached an age where we can take care of ourselves).

                    Imo, this is just a personality THING, not a personality disorder as it is casually called. Disorder automatically puts a negative spin on it. We all have "disorders", and we can definitely eliminate or downplay some of them with the use of drugs, why does it have to be restricted to ocd, or adhd? These are just personalities that many people seem to inherit through genes and serve a variety of purposes that provide advantages for those individuals in a society bigger than themselves. Of course, they have side effects that seem to come into light when you live in 21st century America with norms that are much different from what we've traditionally evolved with.

                    If you want to know "the root" of all this, that is what I have to say.

                    One-Way, just be open about certain traits in your personality that you feel people should know, like you did in this thread. The pressure should not be all on you, society is full of average cookoo heads and weirdos who all have to pass as "relatively normal", what's important is that you love certain people in your life, and you love certain things, have certain goals, and life will prompt you to grow and change along the way anyway, regardless of the best efforts of your ocd.
