Lin was always telling me I did but I couldn't see it. Two weeks on Zoloft and I'm getting it. Here's an example.

We have two dogs so of course we have two leashes. One is black and the other is blue. Cali gets the black and Mojo gets the blue. That's just the way it is. Linda would occasionally mix them up and it would freak me out and make me a bit stressed and angry. I wouldn't take the dogs for a walk unless they had the right colors.

Classic OCD.

Now I could give a **** what color leash each dog has.

Lots more little examples like this. Damn.

I used to have OCD. Got it treated two years ago before it escalated too badly.

Having OCD vs nitpicky and/or anal. At what point is it OCD?

I like being organized and not living in a cluttered mess.. is that OCD?

I think a lot of what is written off as anal is actually OCD.

Blue leash vs. black leash? Anal or ****ed up?

I think a lot of what is considered being OCD is just a way for the pharmaceutical companies to cash in on idiots.

I'm not an idiot.

This drug is seriously helping me. Linda agrees. She told me that it's been the first time in 5 years that I've resembled the dude she fell in love with.

I didn't say you were.. Zoloft also doesn't strictly treat OCD so you being less stressed over dumb shit (OCD things) doesn't mean much. I don't know you but I'm pretty sure if the leash thing bothered you but you didn't get stressed or angry than it wouldn't be an issue. Lots of things annoy me but that doesn't mean I have to react to the feeling.

But I was reacting to the feeling. Over lots of stuff. To the point it stressed me out and caused friction between me and Linda. In hindsight, it's so ridiculous.
