I am a very sensitive person taking words a little too personal at times and dwelling on unnecessary things. I'm sure this plays into my depression. Some days are great I can only think positive and some days I feel like a blob and everything around me is bad.
I have also found that i'm pretty sure I have Obsessive sompulsive disorder. My 13 year old son even pen pointed it out to me the other day as I was buying a bunch of lotto tickets and scratch offs looking on the internet for the best numbers to win; he says to me "Mom, are you obsessed?" Plain as day. I said "Yes, your mom has become obsessed" and then I moved onto something else. Once I start something, I get obsessed with it and everything else goes to pot around that simple or complex project. hey maybe I should have been an art major. LOL
But once I have acomplished my goal or project I am done and have lost interest and don't want to do it anymore. Does this sound like OCD? Of course I am diagnosing myself. Is there meds that help with anxiety that don't take the "REAL YOU" or the good part of you away?
