Click on the title for the announcement of a new "reality" series about people with OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder).
As one of approximately 7 million Americans who really have OCD, I will withhold judgment on this project until its fruition.
I will say this: If you think some viral videos and the TV series "Monk" reveal the "real world" of OCD to the depths which we who experience it daily know all too well about, think again.

2007: The ANTI-GREAT....
---Goodbye, Clear Channel. November 5th, rock bottom, not my choice. Losing touch with friends who once saw every day. It sucks.....losing the FRIENDS hurt the most.
---Cleo Strickland (1918-2007): Have a good rest, Grannie; I'll see ya soon.....
---April 16, 2007 in Blacksburg, Virginia. Virginia Tech's darkest day. Needless, senseless....may we never forget, so that it never happens again.
---the battle with depression goes on.....still sleeping some days away (including my 40th birthday and Christmas Eve!!)
---the battle with OCD rages on, approaching the 30-year mark.
---the fact that the Moody Blues concert had to end at some point.
---R.I.P. to Chloe, Rachel's first hamster. :(
---and the hurt of missing people. Never have I had friends just pulled up from under me like a rug, from the standpoint of being able to see and be with them. It's hard, but I heal just a little bit each and every day. :)

Fellow OCD Sufferers, be uplifted.....
...by the story of this 16 year-old girl in Canada. She continues to help other people even as her life events have been virtually taken hostage by her OCD, diagnosed in the 5th grade. Me, it was 7th grade when it began full force, but no one knew what it was....it was 1979 after all.
