The Good About Suffering From OCD
Newsweek

I believe there are two types of persons in the world: those who have OCD and those who do not. Maybe you have OCD or maybe you know someone who does since about one out of 200 adults suffer from OCD.

So what does OCD stand for? It stands for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It is defined as "a disorder of the brain and behavior. OCD causes severe anxiety in those affected. OCD involves both obsessions and compulsions that take a lot of time and get in the way of important activities the person values." There are different levels of it.


But there are some things that help people to be successful. Some examples of famous people who suffered from OCD are Charles Dickens, Woody Allen, David Beckham, and even Donald Trump.

When the obsession and the compulsions are not that bad they can even help you to have an organized life. Here are 10 examples.

1. You will always have an organized kitchen cabinet.

2. Therefore, your kitchen will always be clean.

3. It is easier for you to find what you want in your closet since it will probably be color coded or organized in a certain way.


4. You will always know what you have to do because you probably color code everything that you write in your agenda.

5. Everyone will want to use your notebook because your notes are color coded and easy to understand.

6. You will never have to worry if you are taking someone to your room because it will always look flawless.

7. You will have a more hygienic home and be less prone to get viruses since you care about bacteria.

8. Your pens will always be in the right order.

9. People will think that you are perfect at doing everything.

10. People will assume you have your life together even in video games.

But in the end even though OCD people seem they have their life together because of their habit, they can still be struggling.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
