I Think I Have OCD

Do I really have OCD?

OCD stands for obsessive compulsive disorder. Of course, just like anything else, there are major and minor cases that make up this disorder. Because I was never specifically diagnosed with OCD, I cannot say that I actually have the disorder, but I do think I show minor symptoms of it.

For example, when I am sitting at my desk, I constantly have to look to the left of my computer to make sure the charger is straight and at a particular angle, or keep shifting my computer so that is in the position I want it to be in. Another example is that I feel a constant need to observe everything around me to make sure I know which position it is in. It's hard to explain in words, but if something is not in a specific angle or position, I feel the need to correct it in the way I want it. It's just the little things that other people wouldn't necessarily have the need to fix, but I do. It is actually very bothersome and tiring to have to constantly do these things.

I know a lot of people say that they have OCD like it's a normal thing. Because statistics show that only a small percentage of people actually suffer from the disorder, I most likely do not actually have it, only have similar symptoms of it. But please know that OCD is a serious disorder and major cases can be very suffering to deal with!

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.
