I took my math test today. I finished before anyone else, even the people who started earlier than me.
I guess it's normal for me to feel like I might get an F, like I omitted something big.
I thought the test was easy though. Hmm. |

| I always have to completely understand math, its components, and why things work. As an example, I am not satisfied with memorizing the sine function. I have to know why it has that curve, why it has its dynamics, why it has certain values depending on the input. I'm in precalc 2 right now... So rel... |

| I do similar things. I forgot to mention how I need symmetry. I used to do this a lot: If I touched something on one side, I had to touch it on the other side. A combination symptom, I still do certain things: 1. My car keys have a string attached to them, a loop sort of deal. When I put my keys in ... |

I get this too.
Sometimes I'll repeat a word over and over until it sounds foreign or wierd to me.
For example, I'll think of "kitchen". Then I think, where did that word come from? Why does it sound like that... kit chen. What a wierd word. Eventually the word will sound alien to me. |

| I am co-diagnosed with OCD. How many people share this diagnosis? I would attribute a few things to OCD. I bite my nails and skin arond them, and sometimes I bite my lips. I also have obsessive thoughts, IE I will sometimes get caught thinking about one thing. OCD shares some neural pathways with to... |

| I think of the car as an extension of myself. When I started, I caught on pretty quick. I got my license on the first test, even though I made one small error (not stopping behind the white line at a stop sign, which nobody does anyhow). I did take a drivers ed class, and the on-the-road test I pass... |

| I used to take everything seriously. I didn't take things too literally though, but I did sometimes. When I was between the ages of about 13 and 17, my friends used to bust on me for being so damn serious. I've lightened up, but sometimes I need to take things with a grain of salt, where for others ... |

| Fluorescent bothers me quite a bit. There's some fluorescent lighting in my basement (hangout area), and I always feel the need to turn them off. There's also incadescent down here. If I had it my way, I'd line the ceiling with strips of LED lights, red green and blue. Then, I would have my computer... |

I never knew how to handle my anger.
Nobody ever told me to defend myself, so I just took it. I wish I didn't, I wish I fought back, and maybe that is a regret of mine. But it's all I knew how to do at the time. |

My handwriting is fairly bad. If I had it my way, it would be very neat and methodical, as well as small and uniform.
Unfortunately, when writing at any pace, it looks bad. I suppose it could be worse. It is legible at least. My signature is never consistent, and is fairly sloppy. |
