the 2014 trivial drivel thread

Bingo! She obsesses on the obsessing for chrissake. Honestly, if my brain were constantly spinning tapes like that I'd go nuts too. Hindsight is 20/20. Sometimes I wish we'd just ignored it when she was little. Instead I think getting her help that early (2^nd grade?) just ingrained in her that she had something wrong with her. It's such a deeply held belief and now we're trying to almost say the opposite..."okay, maybe you have these problems but really you're bright, capable and beautiful and you can do anything you want in life"!!! She's not buying it; she feels broken. *sigh*

Mine is locking my car (for one). I have to press the lock button and hear the beep at least 2 or 3 times before I'm comfortable the car is really locked. I have others too. Mostly around checking/rechecking things. Nothing life interfering though either.
