First of all, a hearty welcome to the...good lord, over forty new people who came here from my post over in

It's like an obstacle course... where all the obstacles knee you in the groin when you try to dodge them.

[benchilada]

YES!

Every time I think "You know, fuck this hurdle, I'm going around it" I get attacked by a bear.

[evil_egg]

A bear who hasn't washed his hands.

I have to admit you're right; I can't follow the skittles instructions.

Does your brain do this all the time, or have you been able to escape it?

[benchilada]

The right medication lessens it, but I'm currently not on any OCD meds at all. My Tourette's meds reduce it a bit, but not nearly enough.

If you click on the Fuckbrain Comix tag you'll find another comic that kinda tries to explain the number thing with the Skittles better. I think it's called Three Is The Perfect Number.

I'll study further. :)

And yeah, it's all the time.
Nearly every waking moment is at least vaguely affected by some obsessive thought or compulsion.

awww at lovely wife Sara :D

[benchilada]

She's the phatest.

I browse food_porn occasionally and saw your awesome post and added you. I've been checking out your YouTube videos and am enjoying them a lot.

I don't touch doorknobs or handles, but for an entirely different reason. That damn static during the winter - gah!

Welcome to my Den Of Nearly But Not Quite Sin!

To me, the shocks are a gentle reminder that I was about to touch a doorknob and need to KNOCK THAT SHIT OFF!

Whoa. I just randomly popped in here through a friends of friends list and we appear to have somewhat opposite OCD. I ate Skittles just an hour ago and had them all laid out perfectly on my desk. And I need kisses in even numbers.

Thank heavens my boyfriend finds these qualities endearing and not totally weird. (He kindly wait for me to organize Starburst colors and numbers before even asking for one.)

[benchilada]

Welcome to my LJ, through your strange route!

Ugg. Even numbers. We should abolish them. And Sara knows that it's best if I don't look when pouring candy into her hand, or I just hand her the bad so I can't try to get a mental picture of the colors.

Understanding partners are fantastic, aren't they?
