Obsessive Compulsive Life
A Personal Story

Over the last 13 years, I have been to multiple therapists and psychiatrists. I have been on multiple antidepressant medications. None of which ever seemed to help make me feel perfect. I kept reliving destructive patterns in work, in relationships, and in addictive behaviors; over and over. I was not getting where I wanted to be in life.

The horrible realization came to me when I turned 29. There was something seriously wrong with me. I had been in a dead end job for the last nine years and had always dreamed of being self employed, like most Americans. I even took steps to make it to that point. I opened a small Internet business that did not make enough for me to truly be self employed. I owned a house by the time I was 21. I eventually lost both. I was not getting anywhere in life, I was putting off relaxation, family, friends, hobbies, eating, exercise; you name it, I put it off. I felt all these things would fall back into place when I reached euphoria by becoming what I wanted, self employed.

Some people might look at me as a hard worker, others might think I'm just a freak. I believe you can get what you want in life if you work hard enough for it, but finding balance in life is another matter. Being obsessive compulsive is not going to ruin your life and in some ways may help you. Unfortunately, when your obsessions and compulsions lead you into a state of non-stop thought and work, with no control over anything else in your life, it becomes a disorder.
