AAM

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
People are pulling this label out like it's on clearance.

Our waiter let us know the other night that we can be assured that our drinks are correct since he's...lets all say it together...OCD.

Where was this "disorder" ten years ago? Chillin' with sun-dried tomatoes in the "fad waiting to happen" room? (oh gosh that's terrible, but I'm keepin it!)

I understand that "SOCIETY" needs labels like that to fall back on (ie-ADD/ADH) but I have a notion that there wouldn't be as many cases of it if there were no label for it.

So some people have the need to have everything in order, that's doesn't call for a "disorder" I like for things to be all about me (AAM) so does that mean I should be treated?
If by treated you mean showers of praise and accolades then a resounding YES!

But that's not necessary. All I'm saying is the "disorder band wagon" is getting pretty full of people who are using labels as more of a crutch then a scientific break through.

So you like to do things in excellence, that's not OCD it's G-O-O-D.
So you can't pay attention for long periods of time...who really can? The human brain is a playground of random thoughts, you just have to learn to discipline your mind.
I'm sure there are a few cases here and there of people with real mental problems in these arena's but I'd be willing to bet my baby blanket that over 60% of people who claim it, are just fine.
