"I don't have OCD."
Well at least that is what I used to think until recently I never identified my issue as being O.C.D because it has always been justified and normal to me. For a couple months now I have realized that I'm losing control of my life because of an obsession with my own reflection. I also have Gender Identidy Disorder, which I think, along with many other mental issues I probably suffer, ...

I have been diagnosed with OCD and Bipolar 2. I have thoughts about death, not mine but my family. I get them 30 to 40 times a day in every possible way you can before medication.

With the world becoming more and more machine based, I find it difficult to stomach the idea that all of the food that ends up in a grocery store is processed,.. even fruits and veggies.

My face is the worst problem with this wanting my skin to be perfect I can't stop looking in the mirror picking away scabs to make ...

to ever leave the house again. I have come to the realization that I absolutely hate my thoughts. I just realized that it is not normal for a person to have to think about the things that I do everyday. **** psychology, i'm so far from being happy-go-lucky it's ridiculous. Life is not worth living, when you shuffle around in a] fog everyday, trying to not "slip up". I haven't had a genuine smile in ...
