Obsessive compulsive disorder

I'm watching a show about OCD. This guy works out 50 times a week. He pops into a gym for three (3) minutes and knocks out like 8-10 sets then bolts. He takes like 40 pills a day. ANY time he turns he HAS to turn clockwise so he does this spinning deal when he really needs to go left. He adds up the numbers on every license plate he sees. This is nuts.
 
He just needs a bitch slap.

Either that or a one way ticket to somalia or china. I am thinkin he'd become "unobsessed" with stupid shit being too busy trying to survive. Goodness, the luxury of being able to have "some afflictions". :rolleyes:

what channel? lol
I wish I was home

quick!
I can call my wif and have her record
 
The next chick is a clean freak. She washes her hands 100 times a day. She gets anxiety when she eats because she knows she'll have to poop...which means she has to shower for like 1-3 hours at a time. In the shower she gives herself an enema...then TOOTH BRUSHES THE INSIDE OF HER ASS.....no seriously. says fingers don't go deep enough. maybe a penis next time?

I'm pretty sure hubby has never hit it in the back door.
 
i saw that episode. It annoyed me because the guy says he works out 5x or 10x a day... but all he does is RUN into a gym, do a set or two, and run out, then drive to the next gym and does the same thing but calls that 2 workouts. I hope the therapist asked him why not just do it all at once like normal people?
 
Why not just take up crack like black folk? Dang.

Dude has not missed a workout day since 1991...18 years. but yeah, his workouts are annoying. I want to reach out and trip him as he is running into the gym.
 
OCD is pretty sad, we may view it as ridiculous and sometimes it seems to be but people with it are stongly affectd because they truly believe something bad will happen if they dont fulfil their "rituals"

I used to think depression was *all in your head too* until I got hit with it. But anyone who knows me knows I have every RIGHT to be depressed. LOL

Having said that, you are a mental health professional so you would know way more than me who is talking out of her arse. If these same people who were obsessed with these rituals were suddenly thrown down in the middle of some godforsaken place like somalia, how quickly do you think the survival instincts would over-shadow the ocd?
 
My ex has borderline personality disorder, agoraphobia, anxiety and 2-3 other mental malfunctions. That shit is tough to be around, much less live with yourself.
 
There is A LOT of research about Krill Oil's positive affect on brain function. Tell your ex (if you still speak with her) to do some research and ask her doc about the benefits.

We had a guy working here that had OCD. It progressively got worse over the course of 4 years and we finally had to let him go because of it. Few months later his wife also left him.

OCD is caused by an imbalance of seratonin in the brain's nerve cells, something a little too late for a bitch slap to fix. He'd be better off trying an SSRI like Prozac to do the bitch slapping for him.
 
I feel badly for people who are "victims of their own thinking". I dunno, you don't hear of very many people with OCD/anxiety issue in Somalia or India.

I remember having a conversation with my old roommate from Paris who was irritated with herself that she had every modern luxury that her mother did not (she was from a village in lebanon) and she would say all the time, "I don't remember my mother/father ever having THE TIME to think about whether or not they were depressed or anxious. They were too busy busting their rear ends just to live."

I am not saying that the people who have these conditions aren't really suffering. I just wonder why they feel the need to do that to themselves. Obviously, they can afford to have "high class" problems. :(

.... such a waste.

Well it can go both ways.... either they overcome some rituals in order to survive or they can flat out shut down in panick/stress/frustration and die from hunger, thirst, etc some may even go catatonic :worried:

Wonder if krill oil would help. Lotta promising research.

But seriously, I dunno of very many people in the lower social castes in India with OCD. :whatever:

These things definitely all stem from higher standards of living that lead to having too much damn free time to dwell on how miserable you really are.
 
Is it just my misperception, or do the brothers not have as many OCD peeps and/or serial killers as the crackers?
 
actually it's just wrong "labelling" if rich people steal they are cleptomaniacs, if poor people steal they are thieves... if a rich person acts erratic he has OCD, mental illnesses or at the very least they are excentric, if a poor person acts like that they are crazy, mental institution material or "wierd cousin Jeff"....
 
I have mild OCD and even turrets for that matter. Very mild and quite manageable, but still there.

I have always thought that. I guess we all have that crazy aunt or uncle...they usually don't have the financial wherewithal to get diagnosed as such.
 
OCD is the only psychological disorder I don't have.

Kinda wished I did ... my apartment wood prob be neater.

I understand how people could think it's just a "create an illness out of boredom/entitlement" thing, because they're just observing it, not experiencing it. There's not one person with OCD who isn't miserable and overwhelmed by a condition they can't control. If they could they wouldn't have it. Just like people with bipolar, schizophrenia, bulimia, etc. Just because it's mental and out of plain sight doesn't mean they're full of shit. We don't roll our eyes at someone having a seizure or a heart attack. But like I said, out of sight, out of mind it seems.
With OCD, something happens chemically in the brain, and if boredom is the cause then you'd think doing a bunch of stuff and keeping your mind active would cure it. It doesn't. I know from personal experience because I had it all through my teens, starting shortly after puberty when the brain is going through a massive chemical overhaul. And being a chemical affliction it could likely have been a residual effect of that, at least speaking for myself.
For me it was my thought process that interfered with daily living. Any bad thought and I had to do something over and over again til I thought of something good. It made me lose all rationality and it's a bitch to try and hide in public. It takes all the mental energy just to try and act like a normal person. Doesn't leave much room for anything else. It's hell to deal with, especially as a kid growing up who doesn't know any better. My parents punished me for it because they didn't even know any better. They thought I was just bored during summer vacation and "creating" these pointless problems for myself. If that was the case, I should've had it long before as well, when I was even younger and more "spoiled". One night when I kept them up because I couldn't get in my bed and kept talking to myself trying to control my thoughts, I woke up and found a note downstairs with a whole list of stuff to do in one day that could've never gotten done in one day even for a normal person. I learned to just shut up and stop complaining, but it never went away.
It took my mom seeing my outside literally pulling my hair out because I couldn't put my hat on while I was outside shoveling snow, before I was taken to a real doctor. Prozac did what all the work in the world would never have done. Some things can't be treated through stimulus from the outside world. You wouldn't say to an Alzheimer's patient, "Hey maybe if you read a book once in a while in your life you wouldn't be having this problem now, would you." Maybe we cut them more slack because it actually ends up directly killing the patient.

Anyways the case in point it just because something seems ridiculous from the outside doesn't mean it is on the inside.
 
Poboy, OCD isn't just about cleaining, u also have trouble getting rid of objects even though they have nop $ or sentimental value, you have strange rituals that interfere with time (pen close door 8 times and turn on and off lights 5 times before leaving home) inability to eat something if you didnt make it urself, etc I have traces but not full blown OCD, I can't throw stuff away not even pictures (just obvious trash like receipts, garbage, etc) would NEVER walk barefooted not even if floor I clean myself, not even just socks yet my room can be a mess.... makes no sense :confused:

RG... that's a fixaction not OCD :p

GOM.... Have you considered making the bed on ur own? :confused:
 
I guess the reason it seems like a middle class affliction is because those who can't afford to get diagnosed often end up homeless and talking amongst each other out of our sight. Still that one lady taking an enema and toothbrush up her ass every time she took a shit. Christ Almighty.

I'm not buying the economic argument. Serial killers don't get diagnosed, they get caught. It just seems like every time they catch one, it's a whitey.

My working theory is that the orange soda affinity gene offers resistance to the urge to be a serial killer.

looool
 
my buddy has it. really bad.

has to take risperidol for it.

his cousin told me he had it and i saw the risperidol on the counter of his bathroom once.

he has it really bad though.

we will be going on a trip and he will tell me he wants a mcchicken, then drive 30 minutes out of the way just to get one.

if you ask me all people who are OCD should try hallucigenics such as mushrooms.

it can cure it.....
 
I got mean streak disorder

alot of peeps got here seem to have the "I can dish it out , but can't take it and I need a diaper change" disorder

No need to savor... when I am wrong, I am the first one to volunteer it.

I rarely come out of the shoot like a bat out of hell, though, unless I am fairly certain of my information/experience. Saves me from having to eat crow. I don't like the taste of it.

How often do you hear any information about the mental health status of any "third world" nation? Or from the inner city or poor rural areas in America? You don't because mental health professionals don't do a lot of work in those areas.

In answer to your other question no putting someone who truly has OCD in a survival situation will not overshadow the disease. In fact high stress situation tend to heighten the illness and make the behaviours worse. As someone who does suffer from it I wish everyone who thinks it's made up could feel the true burden of the disease if only for a day. I'm pretty good at hiding most of my odd behaviours and people who know me really well have stopped noticing most of the shit, but I have absolutely no control over it.

take somebody from that A&E show and drop them in Africa they would be dead in less than 2 weeks.
That girl who cleans herself till she bleeds probably won't see her 40th birthday.
How funny is that?

Threads like this truly help to open the eyes of those who are willing to have them opened. I guess I never really thought of it like that and I'm glad that there are people willing to invest the time and effort to try to explain it to me.

Hard to understand something when you have no knowledge of it. I guess it easier for those of us who haven't clue one that it is in the individuals' control and they would *just snap out of it* given the right external situation than to believe that it's not really in their control.

Threads like this are just one of the reasons I have always enjoyed this place. :)

caution! It's a plan by the government to get you to watch it. Once you do you'll start asking yourself."do i do that?" then you'll start doing it.

Indeed, the open exchange of ideas with people who are willing to listen(read) and think for a second is a great thing.
