Re: Arrghhh! Repent

How long do you think you'll need before you can see how funny that

was !? A few weeks, only if you live to be a hundred?

My son admitted that his " dream room " would be one where only he ever

entered . . . all white and sanitized and very little in it . . .

" " Okay, well, ummmmmmm, aren't you supposed to be fighting it back a

little? " " " " If he had one he'd crumple down into a naked ocd ball

and we'd never see him again.

I'm so glad to hear 's been reading up on it and is getting

better, not worse. . . I don't think setbacks are a sign of much at

all - ocd just kind of sneaks up on you - - - have you ever noticed

if the first sign of an oncoming cold or something first shows itself

as a just noticable ocd flareup?
