I was also recently diagnosed with OCD <3

As was touched on previously itt, I think we all have 'peculiar' personality traits that everyone, not just psychologists, like to stick a label on. Humans like to categorize. It's a mistake, because it perpetuates states of being that would otherwise not become an issue. I struggle with the idea of sending my son to talk to someone, because part of me worries it will only solidify the idea of him having an issue in his own head...

Many (not all) psychological issues seem to be heavily influenced by the person's paranoia of an issue. It's a loop. Like a mental habit.

I've been told I have PTSD and I also suffer from depersonalization, which is an extreme form of emotional detachment, not only from people, but from your own sense of personal reality. Basically, nothing feels real. It's born out of being overly occupied with your own thoughts, and the why of your own thoughts. Sometimes people will be talking to me and I feel as though I'm watching a movie. I sometimes have anxiety attacks because I'm afraid that I'm losing my sanity. There are good days and bad days. A lot of it seems to depend on my mood, and whether or not I'm feeling good about my life. My self analyzing will have me pondering whether my personality, or the personality of others is nothing more than an advanced coping mechanism. I've broken my emotional existence down to a primal level that sometimes feels robotic, but ultimately is just hyper aware. I feel sick that I can't just watch baseball and enjoy things like most other people.
