Now lets begin the awful stage: Medication swapping. What meds are you currently on, then?

Does... Cheap wine and Cigarettes count as psycho-pharmacology?

Hey now...  It good enough to be a stand alone, also goes well with hamburgers and red sauce pasta... and the label is quite a conversation piece.

How I dearly wish that bottle has a fine Chateuxneuf (lol) de Pape, 1997, resting inside it, waiting for the feast of lamb it shall be an apertif for, and that the label is pure irony.
Cheap and wine are not words I put together.

I have a weird thing with numbers.
I don't like to use things that have odd numbers written on them that aren't divisible by the numbers five or eleven or are square roots.
I can't wear just one thing without something similar on.
(So I wear two pairs of underwear, one T-shirt underneath a dress shirt, two necklaces and four rings, two on each finger.)
That's just clothing wise; it's the same deal with food and movements.

That, my friend, is the classic symptom known as symmetry. I am a great lover and hater of it.

I totally relate to that; I love the number 2. It's my favorite number, second is 4 and then 8. I used to only touch things in 2's, 4's, or 8's (if my hand brushed against something I'd have to brush it again or even another few times if I didn't feel the same texture and temperature on each hand.) I already mentioned my pockets. I love that I can come here and congregate not only with fellow Jews but also fellow Obsessive- Compulsive. On paper, we must be quite alike!
Oh, yeah, and Cheap Red Wine is not relevant to scrupulosity and Judaism. (Usually, such random segways are just a little bit of comedy but here it seems inappropriate.)

Two more things:
1.) I'm on 'Clitiporam', or something like that.
2.) Something useful to scrupulosity: I used to think that acts of loving kindness referred to sacrificing oneslf for others. But then I learned about how in dire situations one must put oneself first. All mitzvot can be waived if there is a danger to human life. If you've ever been asked one of those hypothetical, ethical dilemmas where one must choose in which crowd of people in varying numbers to crash the car or if it's okay to sacrifice 1 to save 3, the Torah answer is always that you are in no obligation to choose who should die. You just can't choose.
Basically, giving your sweater to someone cold even though you'll be cold is okay (if there's no risk beyond being cold), but giving the last parachute away and sacrificing your life is actually against the Torah.
Also, on that camping trip I learned a mantra: "I can't save everyone because I'm not SUPPOSED to save everyone.

So, just remember that some rest from mitzvot is okay and does not make you evil. Aslo, know that you cannot control your thoughts and that you are only human. G-d knows this.
But, self-improvement is still good... xp It's such a gray area!!!!

Oh, yeah, and I also don't like numbers whose Gematriyah (addition of the numbers in the place values) adds up to an odd number. 16: It's okay, but not great, ever though it's 2 to the 4th power which makes it sound ideal. I am probably making no sense to those without OCD.

Relevance, anybody?

Behatzlacha-S That, my friend, is the classic symptom known as symmetry. I am a great lover and hater of it. I love it when things are symmetric... 'Knew it wasn't OCD, just wanted to throw in my two cents.

Behatzlacha-S How I dearly wish that bottle has a fine Chateuxneuf (lol) de Pape, 1997, resting inside it, waiting for the feast of lamb it shall be an apertif for, and that the label is pure irony. Chateauneuf du pape. Loosely translated as "The new house of the Pope." Guess what this one says I will say this, I am just frugal sometimes. I mean do have the palate to enjoy the soft tannins and the velvety texture of a good french Pinot Noir or a Somona Fume Blanc... However, I have the palate to also enjoy who's vintage is... "last tuesday." Oh and incase you're wondering, I prefer Syrah, and Pinot Noir to Merlot and Cabernet. I'm also big on Grenache and Zinfandel blends.
