For one thing, I had ALOT of things written down that support my theory of having it and he says he doesn't have time to 'read' all those pages. E... |

| I get sidetracked often too when cleaning or doing things. I have my lists and they help me remember what to do but to DO what I have to do I just have to consciously tell myself "this job here is what I am going to do until it's done. NOTHING else." and if I find myself getting sidetracked by putti... |

| In my opinion, the person has to WANT to help themselves. I don't think it'll do any good if he doesn't want the diagnosis himself. For me getting a diagnosis would help tremendously to explain why I do the things I do and once I know that I can teach myself and others how I need to deal with it to ... |

The water in the big city close to here tastes like chlorine.
The little town I live near, we all have our own wells which tastes like .... hmmm.... dirty water. (Hard to describe)
Bottle water is perfect!! ! It is the most clear and clean tasting to me. |

Hmmm... obsess and cry for a week or 2 then it slowly goes away and I can move on. 
That's in a more severe situation. If it's nothing really bad then I get angry and probably would think that whatever I did in the situation was right and I had a right to feel or do what I did. |
