I wrote elsewhere about how I'm having a really hard time getting my OCD meds right now.
What's messed up is that I just feel like I can't get a freaking break. I know I am constantly complaining. But, please, if it is bothering you, don't read this. That's not at all "passive aggressive" or whatever that tactic is supposed to be. Life is just difficult right now. My life is NOT always difficult- that is the truth. Sometimes it is freaking awesome, or I feel it is and i have relatively good health and I can do the stuff I want to do and accomplish my goals and all that great stuff.
Now is just not that time. I feel like if A- I do not write about it and B- I do not make that information generally available than I undergo all this stupidness without being able to relieve some of the stress but also sometimes I act weird and other people have no reference for maybe why I am acting a little bizarre [OCD!].

So, having trouble with getting OCD meds.
I am feeling a bit better from the sinus infection- that is positive. The past couple days the lack of OCD meds has been kicking in and really yesterday and basically last night and this morning it just went RIGHT into overdrive. I have Pure O- pure obsessional.
And... when it's not managed it can get really really really bad. Like debilitating. It's not there right now. When it's "managed" it can get kind of bad. So I'm in waiting to get into an OCD clinic blahblahblah whatever special snowflake.
The point of the title of this.
I want to try to give some people a bit of info on OCD because A- I think it's probably helpful in general and B- I'm selfish and want people to get it.
Ok, also: I wrote a handful of responses between last night and this morning and rewrote each of them to some degree a bunch of times because I was worried I was somehow not telling the truth. How does that work? I don't even know. I have arguments with my boyfriend about how I could possibly accidentally lie about something and if that is technically possible because it becomes an anxiety. Even though I know it is a ridiculous notion.
Right. That is the ridiculous of OCD.
So:

If you have further interest this is a really really great and easy to understand, illustrated explanation of pure o. It's a pdf and doesn't take very long to go through. I really recommend it. To help you understand... Pure O
It is very hard to explain pure o, even as someone who experiences it. I'll tell you right now- it makes NO SENSE. Just, none. at all. as someone with autism, that is absurd. So i have to generally try to have a sense of humor about it.
Not that I think my world is the center of existence, but if people actually do have questions, I don't mind answering. I'm not pressuring people to be totally interested in my day to day, but I don't want anyone to feel it's like, an off limits thing. For me, it isn't. It's important people feel they can talk about it.
So, now I'm going to go decide if I just lied about all that or not.
