I don't belong here...

[Yuki Usagi]

I was told that I don't really have OCD after all. :o So, I don't belong here. But I'm still mental... right?

Request permission to hang around anyway because I love yous guys.

Were you told this by a doctor? If so I would get a second oppinion..

Reguardless of you having OCD or not you are more than welcome to hang around. your a blessing around here

Dont ever let anyone make you feel that you "don't" belong anywhere. Gods children are sent anywhere they are needed

I agree with Jay. If you are being edified, come. If you are making godly friendships, come. If you are encouraging others, which I know you are, come. Ocd is just a detail in the larger scheme of things.

Aww, shucks. Thanks, guys!

I was told that since I am aware of what I'm doing, and that I try to rationalize it... it's not really OCD. I do have some of the symptoms or tendencies but not the full-fledged disorder. No worries, though, I still have S.A.D. and I still get depressed sometimes. Good grief... talk about glorying in your infirmities!

You have all been such good friends and such a blessing, I'm glad to stay around.

Hey Yuki...ditto to JayAngel and BeccaLynn! What you've been told sounds a little strange to me...I thought with OCD a lot of people were very aware of what they were doing and that they try to rationalise it...maybe I'm wrong. Be interested to see what others have to say...a second opinion might not be a bad idea. Take care and please do stay around...I for one appreciate your input...hugs, Rachel

Hey yuki, I agree with everyone else. Please stay and keep giving help. Like rachel said, I'm a little leary of what your dr said. I thought all of us did that but hey I don't have a degree lol. I would consider a second opinion. Again, please stay around cause we love having you here.

I've heard many stories of people having to try several doctors before they found one that recognized OCD..
I am diagnosing just saying a second opinion could be a good thing.
I hope you stick around you have been highly encouraging!

Well, first, I think anyone is free to post here if they think they can assist or edify and I think you certainly have.

Secondly, I agree with the others. Even psychiatrists can disagree on what constitutes OCD, particularly when it's the Pure O type (not with physical compulsions attached such as handwashing) Of course, Pure O does kinda have its own compulsions, in a sense. They are just not physical. They are usually ruminating endlessly, seeking reassurance etc.

Have you every read Dr. Phillipson's articles on www.ocdonline.com? Especially the one entitled "Thinking the Unthinkable?" I think that's the one in which he talks a lot about obesessional OCD. Of course, you may actually NOT have OCD. I hope you don't. The psychiatrist I used to see said that in his mind, OCD tends to be a spectrum ranging from very mild to very severe and all everywhere in between.

Thanks everybody for the advice and encouragement and compliments... I'm honored .

I will take into consideration what each of you said, and I will try to find out for sure; a second opinion, etc, and I will read the article you posted, kaykay.
