I just started the Fall 2008 semester of college. It is my remaining semester at the community college. I just have 10 credits to go to graduate for the AA part of the journey. In January, I will start my Junior year at the University. Someone asked me to day to describe OCD to them. I started to describe it in a simple way, but she seemed to not really grasp the seriousness of OCD. Then I started to keep adding more and more detail about OCD, and the more I explained, the less it seem to make sense to her. After I got home today, I started thinkinbg about it over and over in my head, and the person who is now in my head (I guess it is a avatar of her), will keep on saying my explanation is not good enough.

   This has all gotten think on a second thought. How do you describe some that to me seems to be very complex to someone. OCD seems to me to be a very complex situation. I mainly say that because in my personal view, it is really impossible to describe. I only really know that when the OCD kicks in for me, my feelings and emotions go al over the place. Then I start analysing things, and it will go on and on. I have know idea if this is what other people that have OCD go through. However, when I read other peoples\’ blogs on OCDtribe, I understand perfectly to what they are trying to get across in their situations.

  Sometimes I feel that the inability to pefectly describe OCD is part of the disorder. I see it so perfectly in my head, but I can\’t seem to describe in words what I feel and see that is going on in my head.
