My Remarkable Me (#4)

I woke up one ordinary day and realized this was the day that I was going to face my fears.  As I’ve previously mentioned, I harbored a deep seeded fear that maybe all the critics were right and I was “crazy” on some level.  This was a recurring theme for me- Did I mention that OCD can be a wee bit repetitious?  Although I recognized the pattern, I was stumped in regards to how I could fix it or if it could be fixed.  Then, a thought hit me or rather, more of a question, “Are you ready to be professionally diagnosed?”

How Crazy Found Healthy (#2)

I’m sick and tired of how people readily use the word crazy.  I’ve heard crazy slung at people countless times but rarely, is it used accurately.  It seems to me that crazy and psychotic are far from interchangeable.  Crazy infers not normal.  Whereas, psychotic is an actual term used for certain organic imbalances by professionals and even then, psychologists shy away from the term.
