5:07AM. "It's called OCD Obsessive Compulsive Disorder first and foremost because, duh, it's a disorder. Not because they are out of order, no, but because the O-C order leads to crazy shit because of a brain dysfunction, malfunction, which leads to looping, repetitive thoughts in cyclic neuro-pathways. When I have the same thought twice I say "Oh oh!" Third time I say "Oh shit!" At 74, after sixty years of this I know I have two options: 1) do something I like and force my brain to quit re-cycling that thought; or 2) just keep thinking that thought till I give in to it and compulse! OCD behavior in me is completely "justified" by the time I compulse. #fredcowie #ocd #obsession #obsessioncompulsion #automaticthoughts #fredcowie #meditation #relaxation #deepbreathing #exercise #taichi #yoga #professionalartist #lastchancelifecoach #stressmanagement #helenamontana
