Yeah I really do have OCD. There are different forms of it, Im not like the autistic rainman type generally associated with OCD...But things have to be a certain way for me or I kinda freak out. Originally we thought I was just really anal retentive, but a few doctors diagnosis changed that :X

I know where you coming from, people thought I was just a brat but then they realized the reality of it. Theres still many things I can't do because of it. It actually started some of my current problems - i used to be social phobic and used the net as my little safe world. I would never go out because i never wanted to be around people. This added on to my "brat" title.

My parents figured i just wanted everything my way but it really bothered me! If there are any messages i'd like to give out it's that i'm really happy for the people who get help because things like this DO get worse if un-treated so if anyone see's any problems with friends or family make sure you let them know you care!! If it wasn't for my mother's note on my irregular child life then I would have never been helped.

It is really important people get help though because my aunt has had OCD problems since 3rd grade and now at the age of 45 she hasn't been able to find the right help because she realized her problem too late

Sorry mod's for extending this post into something else but I don't think I need to start a topic on it as most people aren't interested. Hopefully the right people come across my words!

Well, you picked a good obsession. I'm like this too, but I generally switch obsessions. I really like the current mac shadow obsession. I bet I have more VHS tapes than you do though. I'm trying to learn how to "get rid" of things, I just can't dump books or dept. store cosmetics. Plus you should see h ow many vhs tapes my mom has! at least makeup is relatively small. I'm drooling over your collection btw, nice job. :-)

Hey, don't worry about that, I'm alot like that, never been to a psychiatrist or anything, but my son does have "aspergers " which is a very high functioning form of autism, where he is so focused on one thing that you can't switch topics or anything - like a very very mild rainman kind of thing. I'm obsessive**rockstars, country stars** I used to be obsessive about George Michael when I was a teen my life revolved around him and my penpals. I Love history and am a HS teacher. In my adult life it has been internet-message boards b/c I finally found groups of people who share my obsessions..lol. This year its one track mind on buying high end cosmetics (this is the first year I could afford them though!) I will photograph what I've collected from Feb.- Now... its scary all in three mos. I can switch topics - I guess, I teach HS. Oh beats my sister's obsession.. she writes "cemeteries" to post online and collects obituaries of people born in Oklahoma even if they passed away elsewhere. She's a veterinarian in her "spare time" lol. Runs in the family this obsession thing.. my dad has a junkyard of tractors.. mom's a packrat and my husband thinks we're all nuts! LOL

Maybe one of the mods can move this thread over to the new traincase section? Love the pics, y'all.

Oh. My. God, mac_obsession and bubbley_bubby. I think I've seen the Holy Grail! Can I come over?

Do you use any of your stuff, or do you just keep everything it it's origional boxes? Is there a reason why you keep everything in the boxes?? Just wondering.

You have quite the incredible collectiob by the way!

I use almost all of my things.... ok maybe not some of the e/s and lipgloss as much as I should....... but about the boxes I have this obsession about keeping things neat... and I like the boxes.... they fit nicer together in the boxes than they do round hehehe

and thank you !!
