also, someone tell me that it's normal to return to the stuff you fear when you're anxious, because I clicked on a link to we3 through twitter last night and now I feel like a mental masochist. :( is it OCD, pure O or something else?


It's defined as a compulsion due to your prior intentions to get it out of your head, you could say you're obsessed with it but I'm willing to bet there's something in your life that takes more or your attention than a comic. I'm not qualified to say one way or another if you have OCD, but all I'm officially diagnosed with is HFA and I use the same technique octobertiger suggested to break unwanted associations in my perception. When you envision something that's not helpful for you, there's simply no banishing the effects, it's infinitely more productive to modify them.

I hate having asperger syndrome! It's like it makes everything worse! I am so ready to see a therapist, I can't do this by myself. (cries hard) I want the bad thoughts to go away! I am so glad to be here with so many understanding people! It's just so comforting to know that I'm not alone and that there are others like me who have been through this.
