| MUSIC, it's the only thing that breaks my rationality and sends me to another world based on the music being played. I could be hired to make music videos Oo. Unfortunately I get obsessed with only a few select songs and build on that imagination until it's detailed and makes sense. |

| When you do something wrong, something you regret later after realizing the seriousness of what you did; do you spend days, weeks or even months in an anxiety battle(rational vs irrational thinking) looking at the situation at every angle until you find the key answer explaining why you did it?

| Thanks guys, it's starting to sink in and I feel a lot less confused about "what is wrong with me". I will bring this up during my counseling session and hopefully I can get her to explore this with me. |
