That sounds like OCD, Debra.

I think you may be right on the money for most. However with me, I have always

been the type that when I was in College and received an assignment that wasn't

due to 3 weeks I started on it that day. I can't stand being late for anything

and I always want to make sure I leave the house in plenty of time for an appt.

even if I sit in the parking lot for 30 minutes. I guess I am opposite of what

you are talking about. I just can't take being behind on anything, even

housework and I have to have things in certain ways. This drives my husband

crazy. I think this has gotten worse since my illness. If a picture is not in

the right position, a lamb has been moved or there is something just out of

place I have to fix it right then. This has been very bothersome to me since

there are a lot of days that I can't fix things or do things. I even have to

fold clothes a certain way and load the dishwasher a certain way. If it's not

done like that I have to redo it. I

know, I am strange!!!

Debra B,

You remind me of my sister, who has OCD, and consequently never gets

any rest for herself and is always going. Two months ago she went to

the ER because she had a severe dizziness and was unable to focus with

her eyes. She passed out at work too. They put her on Xanax because

they said she had severe anxiety. She's fine now, and has been

learning to relax through meditation and is also learning to listen to

her body. I told her before this that she does seem visibly anxious

and that she shouldn't let herself continue this way or she could even

get fibro. SHe doesn't want that so she is trying to relax. She has

found that she is still productive even with resting times. It is

funny though you hit the nail on the head, I am the opposite of my

sister. I'm wild and unproductive. She's " normal " and the most

productive of all of us sisters. I'm the black sheep... HEEHEEHEE...
