Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Quote From: kimdenni

I am a 47 year old woman with bi-polar.  I stay on my medication to stay balanced and would never consider going off it.  I believe I have some obsessive-compulsive symptoms but I am not real sure.  I find myself counting whenever I cook, get dressed, put my seatbelt on in the car, etc...  I try to catch myself and stop doing it.  It is hard to change this habit I have developed.  Also when I put things in the medicine cabinet, cupboard, or even in the shower, I need for the labels to be facing me correctly.  If they are turned, I will fix them.  Does this sound like Obsessive-Compulsive disorder to those of you that have it?  I don't do the hoarding thing, living with too much stuff all around me.  Just the simple things like counting out what I do, and needing to have the labels facing me.  Any comments or suggestions are welcomed.

 

It does sound to me like you have OCD tendancies.  Im the same way with lables, they all have to be the same way round and straight.  But I am also VERY tidy with everything having to be in its place.  Not all people with OCD hoard things - I'm the complete opposite, our house is very streamline and very tidy.  Everything has to be in order.  I couldnt stand living in a mess.  Maybe mention these things to your doctor next time your there.

Sorry its been so long........

Hi Girls,

 

Sorry its been so long since I have dropped in but things have been crazy around here.  I noticed that I have missed quiet abit, congratulations on your 15 years anniversary Kelly, and Fran your grandaughter is beautiful....hope things get better for her soon.  Thoughts and prayers are with you.

 

As for me, well I am 34 weeks now.  Not long to go at all.  Have had a few problems which the doc is monitoring.  Bub is stil breech and doesnt look like turning anytime soon. He has also had problems with his heart rate which they are keeping a close eye on.  But other than that he is doing well, still big (3 weeks bigger now) but doing well.   i am coping ok but getting tired very quickly.  The kids know now if they run, mummy cant catch them.  They love there new-found game. 

 

Talk to you all soon

Jai

Still no news

Quote From: ruthieg

How is everybody?  Have you all gone on holidays or something?  If so, then have a good time and don't forget to send me a postcard(lolz, just kidding. You don't have to have a good time.lol).

 

I hope you all are taking care of yourselves.  Jai, how are you coming along?  Have you had that baby yet?  I hope it is healthy and settling well, if you've had it already.  Three kids can be that much more interesting.  Take care.

 

Franny, how are you?  I haven't seen you here for a while.  I hope you're coping a bit better than before.  Just know that I'm just here if you want to talk.  I can't help with the experience you've been through, but I can be a shoulder to cry on.  They're pretty broad(my shoulders, that is).

 

Kelly, this is just so exciting.  How the time has flown and you're on your way back to Brissie.  I hope you had a safe trip, with nothing out of the ordinary happening.

 

Take care all.  Bye for now.

Hi Ruth,

 

Unfortunantly still no news here!  I am absolutly huge though LOL.  I am bigger now than what I was when I had my daughter and she was 9lb 8oz so I am petrified about how big this baby is going to be.  Hopefully he'll (or she'll) decide to make an appearance in the next week.  As you can probably see its 4:30am, I am suffering from insomnia although I am exhusted (cruel isnt it!) AHHHH the niggles of pregnancy - Gotta love it!

Will let you all know when we have some news.

Hope everyone else is well

Jai

Adult child of addicts

This show hasnt aired yet here but I cant wait to see it.  I left home at 14 as my father was and still is an abusive alcoholic and drug addict and my mother is a drug addict.  I took my younger sister in a year later when she was 10 years old and she lived with me and my partner (now husband of 6 years - been togther 10) until she was 18.  We put her through high school and she is now at university to become a high school teacher.  As a result of what living in that environment did to my childhood I have made a consious decision not to drink.  I have 2 children and am currently expecting our 3rd any day now, the thought of putting them though what I went though brings me to tears.  I cant understand how any parent can subject there children to a life like that.  i missed out on what should have been the best years of my childhood because of my parents selfishness and yes I do still hold alot of anger towards them for it.  Anger which I know I should let go of but just cant yet.

Our Little Man Has Arrived!!!!

Hello everyone,

 

It has been quite a while since Ive been on here but I thought I'd quickly drop in to let you all know that our little man was coaxed into the world on January 2nd (12 days late).  We have named his Blake William Leslie (William and Leslie being my Grandfathers names) and he weighed in at 10 pound exactly and was 58 cms long.  After 6 hours of labour, no drugs and 3 pushes I was home eating McDonalds with my beautiful family at 8:30 that night.  I oculdnt have asked for it all to go better.  We are now doing well and everything is going along nicely. 

 

Hope you all had a great Christmas and fantastic new year.

 

Jai
