On a scale from one to ten…

In all honesty, does anyone really like to go to the doctors? I know I don’t, but probably for very different reasons than most “normal” individuals. I hate basically everything about the doctor’s office and I don’t hesitate to tell them so. I recently had to go and get a yearly physical. I hadn’t been…… Continue reading On a scale from one to ten…

Hand Sanitizer- Good or Bad!?

Well, not for someone who suffers from the “compulsive checking” form of OCD, which unlucky for me (and anyone waiting for me to meet them somewhere), I do.

“I am so OCD!”

How many times have you heard someone use this phrase? I can’t even count. The number is most likely in the thousands. However, I don’t think 99% of the people who use it, actual know what it means! I grew up in a very loving and supportive family and had what most people would describe…… Continue reading “I am so OCD!”
