I guess I have an apology to give... (Everyone please read!)

The kind of OCD I have isn't like that.

It just makes me obsess completely about a subject aka not wanting to stop talking about or stop doing things related to it.

Is that dangerous?

It only becomes dangerous if it hinders you from normal human activity, ie eating, sleeping, withholding basic responsibilities, hygiene, and the like.

For your information, the increased diagnosis with ADHD is due to the increased awareness of the symptoms, just like autism
 
You have imaginary friends and apparently they're damaging your relationship with your boyfriend, so I'd say that even if that's not 'dangerous,' it's extremely unhealthy.

Actually, no, it's pretty overdiagnosed. That doesn't mean people don't have it though (like myself).
 
It's definitely overdiagnosed; I was nearly diagnosed with ADHD when my kindergarten teacher was like "you son doesn't may attention in my class he must be adhd" and my mom was like "no that's because your class is stupidly slow".

Fast forward eleven years. Of all the people in my grade level I'm in at least the top 1% of high attention spans.

But by increasing awareness, you wind up with mothers wondering why their kids can't pay attention and just decide to "instantly" resolve the problem with some Ritalin.
As a more serious note: With increased awareness of the symptoms, the risk for being diagnosed incorrectly is higher.
Remember even though that Dr. Nice Guy wants to help you feel better, he also needs to put food on the table for his family.
What's more expensive, a Ritalin prescription and a returning customer, or a one-time customer who gets an examination?
Actually, I think that doing that is illegal here in the US of A, but many illegal things get oversight.

Technically, I just wasn't good at keeping it a secret from him. :P

You are an incredibly messed-up person and you need to seek therapy or psychological help.

Gee thanks. I totally needed to be told that by someone on the internet!
[/sarcasm]

fyi, I do have psychological help!
 
Uhhmm...do you REALLY need psychological help? Because if you do....I think I'm going to stay WELL away from you.
 
I prob should get psychological help, apparently pet reptiles and raptors (not dinosaurs) aren't "normal" enough :P
 
Oh please.

There's no such thing as "normal". Everyone is different, everything is different. There's no normality in this world, everything is unique.


The only reason you should ever go to a therapist is if you are mental enough to be Rin over there.

Getting help is nothing to shy away from.
TBH, I see it as courage, as you recognize where your faults are, and you get outside help to fix them.
Given, I haven't been to a psych for problems.

Technically he just prescribes medication.

I had another one, but she says I don't really need to see her anymore.

That's a bit rude.

You didn't quote the good part - missing out that part makes me sound like a controlling dick.
 
You called me mental. That IS rude!

I didn't call myself mental.

The psychologist just helped me with controlling my anger.

And the other one just prescribes my medicine.

Screw this thread before there's a flame war

Lock please
 
I already reported to lock it.

The only problem you see with having an imaginary boyfriend that you "cheat" on your real boyfriend with is that you didn't lie about it well enough. You need help. I'm not trying to be a dick here (well, okay, maybe a little) but I sincerely think that that's a sign of real issues that need to be dealt with.


I'm saying this based solely on what you've said on the Marioboards, though. I mean, there could be a lot more or less to it that I don't know about or understand.
