“Sensitive people usually love deeply and hate deeply. They don't know any other way to live than by extremes because thier emotional theromastat is broken.”
― Shannon L. Alder

“My father taught me that you can you read a hundred books on wisdom and write a hundred books on wisdom, but unless you apply what you learned then its only words on a page. Life is not lived with intentions, but action.”
― Shannon Alder

“I do not have OCD OCD OCD.”
― Emilie Autumn

“It (trying to keep the law) grants you the power to judge others and feel superior to them. You believe you are living to a higher standard than those you judge. Enforcing rules, especially in its more subtle expressions like responsibility and expectation, is a vain attempt to create certainty out of uncertainty. And contrary to what you might think, I have a great fondness for uncertainty. Rules cannot bring freedom; they only have the power to accuse.”
― Wm. Paul Young, The Shack

“The first time I saw her,
Everything in my head went quiet.”
― Neil Hilborn

“I'm tired of being inside my head. I want to live out here, with you.”
― Colleen McCarty, Mounting the Whale

“I have seen many cases like N. during the five years I've been in practice. I sometimes picture these unfortunates as men and women being pecked to death by predatory birds. The birds are invisible - at least until a psychiatrist who is good, or lucky, or both, sprays them with his version of Luminol and shines the right light on them - but they are nevertheless very real. The wonder is that so many OCDs manage to live productive lives, just the same. They work, they eat (often not enough or too much, it's true), they go to movies, they make love to their girlfriends and boyfriends, their wives and husbands . . . and all the time those birds are there, clinging to them and pecking away little bits of flesh.”
― Stephen King, Just After Sunset

“Martin said, "It feels as though part of my self has detached and gone to Amsterdam, where it鈥攕he鈥攊s waiting for me. Do you know about phantom-limb syndrome?" Julia nodded. "There's pain where she ought to be. It's feeding the other pain, the thing that makes me wash and count and all that. So her absence is stopping me from going to find her. Do you see?”
― Audrey Niffenegger, Her Fearful Symmetry

“Pretty hard to see when you refuse to look. Pretty hard to hear when you refuse to listen.”
― Jeff Bell

“You can't compare men or women with mental disorders to the normal expectations of men and women in without mental orders. Your dealing with symptoms and until you understand that you will always try to find sane explanations among insane behaviors. You will always have unreachable standards and disappointments. If you want to survive in a marriage to someone that has a disorder you have to judge their actions from a place of realistic expectations in regards to that person's upbringing and diagnosis.”
― Shannon L. Alder

“I guess I wonder what it would be like, to be living their live instead of mine.”
― Corey Ann Haydu, OCD Love Story

“To resist a compulsion with willpower alone is to hold back an avalanche by melting the snow with a candle. It just keeps coming and coming and coming.”
― David Adam, The Man Who Couldn't Stop

“People who live with OCD drag a metal sea anchor around. Obsession is a break, a source of drag, not a badge of creativity, a mark of genius or an inconvenient side effect of some greater function.”
― David Adam, The Man Who Couldn't Stop: OCD and the True Story of a Life Lost in Thought

“Leaving knots untied and scattering seeds to distract them will only work on vampires with OCD.”
― Molly Harper, Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs

“Kessa began to cut her meat into tiny pieces. As a whole it was unmanageable, frightening; but divided and arranged, the meat could be controlled. She cut four pieces. She'd count to four between each bite.”
― Steven Levenkron, The Best Little Girl in the World

“Gloria watched the swollen white orb of a hot-air balloon rising over Navy Pier and knew she had to break it off with Oliver, for he was the type who would never enjoy hot-air balloons, Van Morrison songs, or mess, whether from orgasm or otherwise. But who was she to be dreaming about mess today?”
― Andrea Kayne Kaufman, Oxford Messed Up

“The talked about their messed-up, dysfunctional families, carefully respecting boundaries, never probing too deep in any one sitting. And they always ended up laughing. Even when the subject matter was intense or macabre, Henry鈥檚 sick and twisted and often politically incorrect sense of humor was infectious鈥loria laughed more in these first weeks at Oxford then she remembered laughing almost anywhere.”
― Andrea Kayne Kaufman, Oxford Messed Up

“When everything was laid out before her, she felt safe, loved even. She was always trying to be more organized than she was. She knew it was weird and blamed her mother, with the lists and
notes she鈥檇 leave whenever she and Dad went out of town. The labeled dinners in the freezer and the 20 emergency numbers on the phone showed she cared, even when absent, she cared.”
― Victoria Kahler, Their Friend Scarlet

“But the most important part of her ritual was cleaning the toilet. In order to prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses, it had to be done with absolute thoroughness and precision. Cleaning the toilet was a test of her competence and loyalty to Oliver, her god, and the precept of staying in control.”
― Andrea Kayne Kaufman, Oxford Messed Up

“Personality is a slot machine, and the cherries, lemons, and bells are your SSRI system, your schizophrenic tendency, your left/right brain lobalization, your anxiety proclivity, your wiring glitches, your place on the autistic and OCD spectrums - and to these we must add the deep-level influences of the machines and systems of intelligence that guided your brain into maturity.”
― Douglas Coupland

“I get it now, I do. I don't know how to turn it off, but what I do know is this: I'm addicted to the worries, I'm addicted to self torture and self hate and any other version of the self that reaffirms the belief that there is a deep, disgusting darkness within me.”
― emma noyes, How to Hide in Plain Sight

“Happiness to me isn't a presence, it's an absence. The absence of worry, of fear of sadness, the thoughts and compulsions that led my life for so long. I'd worked hard to get myself to where I was right now. I'd pulled myself out of the chaos of my own mind - and routine is what got me there.”
― Emma Noyes, How to Hide in Plain Sight

“Sometimes, safety concerns are not just about staying safe. They often have more to do with our personal responsibility in the world. It's not just that we don't want bad things to happen, it's that we don't want them to happen on our watch.”
― Chad LeJeune PhD

“I had a conversation with myself and three other people this morning and I did the talking for all of us. The conscious committee in my head meets once again.”
― Niedria Dionne Kenny

“There were days when from the moment she came out of sleep, she could feel doom hanging over her head like a low rain cloud. Those were difficult days to live through, not so much because of the sensation of suspended disaster of which she was acutely conscious then, but because the customary smooth functioning of her system of omens was wholly upset. If on ordinary days on her way out to go shopping she turned her ankle or scraped her shin on the furniture, it was easy to conclude that the shopping expedition would be a failure for one reason or another, or that it might be actually dangerous for her to persist in making it. At least on those days she knew a good omen from a bad one. But the other days were treacherous, for the feeling of doom was so strong that it became a hostile consciousness just behind or beside her, forseeing her attempts to avoid flying in the face of the evil omens, and thus all too able to set traps for her.”
― Paul Bowles, The Sheltering Sky

“I feel . . . like sometimes I don't know myself. And it gets overwhelming, like I'm really not going to know myself--like I'm not going to even know my name, or where I live, or anything about myself, like my memory is suddenly going to go poof'...'It's never gotten to that point, obviously. But when I start thinking about it, I fear it could. Like one day the scales will tip . . . and that will be that.”
― Miles Joris-Peyrafitte, Gaslight

“What letters in the alphabet face the letters that follow it in a word vs its back against the letters that follow it. Like, 鈥淏ecause鈥� The 鈥淏鈥� faces the letters that follow it. But in the word, 鈥渄umb鈥� the lowercase 鈥渄鈥� has its back against the letters. #ThisIsWhatKeepMeUpAtNight”
― Niedria Kenny

“It didn't even feel like my decision to make. It came to me the way that all the compulsions do: a command written in the marrow of my bones. If you drop something, it'll fall. One plus one is two. You have to write on your stomach or your organs will get taken. Go home and shower right now or you'll get ink poisoning. Wash your hands until they hurt, you deserve it. If you killed a child last night, you'll have to kill yourself.”
― Chloe Henkel, Unthinkable Things

“Scrupulosity has the following characteristic features: (1) perfectionism, (2) chronic doubt, and (3) moral thought-action fusion.”
― Jesse S. Summers, Clean Hands: Philosophical Lessons from Scrupulosity

“Surely the standards for servers are that they should *never* poison customers, not that they should poison them only occasionally, so what could it mean to say that Bridget goes too far? Is it when she checks much more than other servers? Maybe the others are just lax. Is it when she checks so much that she neglects other duties, such as serving her customers quickly? But isn't safety more important than speed? Is it when she creates a personal risk of getting fired? Shouldn't her boss also care about poisoning customers?”
