> I'm most familiar with OCD, and when I see someone coming to ask about something that sounds awfully familiar to me, I always suggest that they check out OCD. It's fairly amenable to treatment, and knowing I wasn't nuts was a big stress reliever to me.
Yeah. That was kind of my thought. That this person was struggling with coming to understand those symptoms. They were expressing them in different words, but not much of a jump in the translation. It isn't an answer as to *why* things are so very hard. But you have to get a clearer view of *what* is wrong before you can get closer to the answer of *why* the same old sh*t keeps happening.
And they could have said 'had a look, but I really don't think it applies' in which case I would have left it there.
They weren't specifically asking for help with what was going on for them right there and then. But there has been a lot of 'why why why' at other times and places....
Oh well.
It was the deletion that got to me.
You'd think something would have to be grossly inappropriate. Even if what I did was quite a bit inappropriate *grossly* inappropriate????No.
