Very mild.

Minute even. I read the article. Some has stuff that I know I have tendencies of.. But other stuff I really am sure that I do not have this "disorder" thingie seriously. 

It is actually quite severe to people who suffer OCDP seriously. It's sad actually, and according to this article takes quite a lot of complex and lengthy treatment. Sufferers have like an issue with perfectionism. Everything has to be perfect, and the standards that the sufferers have are imposed on everyone around them. Once a flaw is spotted, it is pointed out, to make the person recognise their flaw(s) (thinking that this is a good thing for the flawed person to help "improve" themselves) without even realising that this is putting down the person. I can't even count on two hands the number of times I have been told how hurtful I had been, how critical, how thoughtless, when pointing out "flaws." I never even realised I was doing it. 

But it also says that sufferers are quite harsh, unemotional people, who don't feel anything and cannot express their emotions. I definitely know that I am not one of these people. I crack at the moment something happens I can't control..I instantly blurt out how i feel. I have the need to talk it out, resolve. So I don't know I fit in the scheme of things when it comes to the OCDP.


Anyways, some awesome progress. I have finally thought of a story line to start my writing. I think I'm going to base it on me and Sunny's relationship, and where we are at now. There's quite a lot of stories that came from those 2 years of that relationship. I have a title as well. But no revealing anything yet. ;)
