--From PostSecret

I think I'm a bit susceptible to OCD myself. I had a period when I was younger where I would check every lightswitch and outlet in the house to make sure there were no bad connections that could start a fire. I did this several times a day, frequently waking up in a sweat, terrified the house was burning down. Today, I no longer have that particular fear (thankfully, considering the house I'm living in now is over ninety years old, and probably retains some of the original wiring... they did have electricity back then, right?). My new thing is feeling crippling waves of guilt every time I eat something remotely unhealthy. Note that this does not prevent me from eating something unhealthy, but just prevents me from enjoying it. Cheers!

I used to live with someone who still does check the house's outlets and switches, to make sure everything is a minimum of three feet away from them so no possible fire could start. Anytime he would want to leave, he'd have to plan an extra 20 minutes in advance. OCD is so interesting...
