*sigh* I'd forgotten about that little bugaboo
I really do have a severe case of OCPD (slightly different from OCD, but close enough), which in real life only gets set off anymore when things that I use all the time are changed out from under me. Bonus points when I can't find a workaround or feel like the change has been made to frustrate me alone.
Guess what it is in particular that will do this now? Bet you won't.
...upgrading to a newer GUI OS. So, yeah, my new laptop has OS X 10.7 and it's been absolutely KILLING ME. It's completely irrational, and no it should not be doing it, but... it does.
If it was anything larger, if it took up more of my life than the week or two it does every couple of years, I'd be in therapy by now. The panic attacks and crying all day has left me in pain, and it's hard to focus right now.
On top of the OS changing, Time Machine decided to not back up some files? Why I dunno, so I grabbed what I know I need and am doing ANOTHER one just in case that finds files. *sigh*
Tomorrow it's back to the salt mines with the new machine, I'm going to try to NOT do much with it so I don't set myself off. Thankfully my desktop didn't change, so I have something to use that is not triggering me right now.
Never thought I'd admit to this sort of irrationality but there it is.
