There is a saying for writers...

"Write what you know."

Let's agree to disagree.

What if everything you "know" to be true, was false. Or that you weren't sure. You feel this weird feeling, this unrelenting, nagging feeling in your brain, in your heart, and in your soul that you can't rid of.

This is what OCD feels like.

As dumb as you know it is, you feel this way, and it runs your life at times. Sometimes humorous. Sometimes aggrivating. Sometimes horrifying. Sometimes maddeningly depressing.

Last year, after 24 years of "knowing" how things were, although feeling something completely different inside, I was diagnosed with OCD.

Refusing to help inflate the pharmasutical sales, I declined meds, and tackled head on, changing the way I would think things.

Ocd can be a slippery slope. Sometimes in life, people have a "gut instinct" and that instinct can be correct. But sometimes, it's not a gut instinct, it's your brain on OCD... How do you know the difference?

Always being a writer, and finding ease in words, I try to decipher my own mind, and life, through writing. So this is a blog about OCD, and life in general. Some normal, some maddening, some depressing, and some outright pee your pants kind of hilariety.

If "write what you know" fails then what you should do is "Write what you feel".

So here's how I do, on a daily basis...
