what you mean you won't have to go to school anymore?


Thanks!
Well, my OCD is pretty much controlling my life right now so I'm going to be put on different meds to find the one that will help it a bit. Then I'll be going to a school for special kids.


what issues do you have (if i may ask)?

At the monent I'm out all day Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. If I'm not going out on a trip somewhere I go out for a walk in the early afternoon. Later on in the afternoon on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays I go to the pub for an hour and a half or so.

I wish I could be outdoors the entire time. I start feeling trapped and restless when I can't walk for a long time, there are no sights, and all I see around me are the four walls. I go out as much as I can - to the shops, to the gym (I go swimming and to the sauna, and work out twice or thrice a week with weights), to certain bars I like, for walks in the city and in the parks, whether alone or with my friends. Anything is better than staying home.

I have to go to the unversity on weekdays and I pay a fair sum for my monthly gym ticket, so it'd be a shame not to go there every day. I'd pretty much have to go outside seven days a week in any case.

Ideally I leave at least ounce a day to walk my big outside dogs. Though laziness or other factors prevent that often.

I like to visit my sister at least ounce a week. But my sleeping pattern or their plans often conflict with that.

I felt very sleepy at the time I normally like to walk the dogs 3 AM plus or minus 1 hour and my sister is out of town all week so I'm a shut-in today. :(

Well since I do have OCD its not really controling but it does pick out the same stores that I shop at. Which is Walmart, Ebgames, and Barns and Nobles. Since I don't have a job just yet and a way of getting any where without the use of my parent's driving of course I don't go out much. Only the times I do go out is appointments, when parents are driving.

I go out every day.
Won't bother counting how many times because that's not relevant.

I go out whenever I have to go to work and try and schedule my shopping or appointments for after work because it is hard to leave once I am home...things I find worth going out for(and living for)........

I like to "collect",so I go to garage sales and thrift stores at least once a week.(It use to be daily, after work, but I was collecting to much and running out of room in my apartment).

Dumpster diving and rock hunting....I will leave the house to do this when the weather is nice.

Bike riding...I got out of this habit, but hope to do it again when the weather improves.


I have an internal struggle between my desire to collect and my desire to stay in my nest.I think the desire to collect is actually quit a healthy obsession to over ride the agoraphobia that my mom has had her whole life.

The rest of the time, I sit in my room with the blinds closed listening to the greatest hits of the 1980s.



I love 80s music. How do you time that precisely, I mean what device do you use to make sure you exit the house at exactly 11:59:59 and why do you only go out for, um, 2 seconds? or are you talking in jest? And what of the hair on your right arm being shaved? :? I would choose a time like 11:11:11 myself :)


My watch is synchronized precisely with the US Naval Observatory. I shave the hair on my right arm so that the Lilliputians have no habitat, and I do it outside because it feels so good.

I work every day Mon-Sat, but I tend to avoid crowded noisy places.
