“A Brave New World” | A lockdown poem by James Darcy

[@cynthiaabalos707]

Thank you for this dramatic presentation of a lockdown world in this time of covid pandemic. I am a Filipino, whose country was greatly affected too. Many of us trying to be brave to face our new world of uncertainty. May our doors of Hope be opened one more time. Godbless!

Cynthia Abalos you're very welcome. I have close friends in the Philippines and I know the truth about what is happening there. My thoughts are with you and I'm sure that we will open those doors of hope soon. Thank you for your comment.

Don't call it a new world, that's buying into the propaganda

[@OCPD_support]

@@El_Nombre-e3x I'm not sure whether you've been outside or not lately, but whether we like it or not it's a very new world. I happen to hate it, but it's a new world nonetheless.

Hey sir, I was hoping you could help me with something on my mind. I had my first appointment with a psychiatrist today to figure out what is causing my anxiety/depression/ADHD tendencies. I do strongly think I have ADHD, I have just about every symptom and I have had them since my childhood. I do think my anxiety/depression episodes are a result of ADHD since they tend to go away and come back depending on how much I push myself to succeed (pushing myself to succeed can be very difficult as a result). I could go on further about my inability to focus, do homework, study, pay attention in class, forgetfullness, sleep issues, fidgeting/nail/lip/cheek biting, overthinking, emotional dysregulation when insulted. The doc said he wants to avoid ADHD because he feels it has become a fad or trend and is thrown around too much, but he has not ruled it out for me yet. He says he thinks I may have OCPD but personally, I just don't see the symptoms. I do not get angry when things arent done my way, I have no issues with the way others prefer to do things, I do not see myself as better than others, I do not make lists, i dont like schedules, i am not a workaholic, i can be very generous, i dont really care about my grooming/fashion, etc etc. I am going to bring this up to the doc next week but I feel like he is going to dismiss me and say I am denying I have OCPD which is a common trait of OCPD. But I am fully aware I have a problem that is getting in the way of my life, I just dont think its OCPD.

[@OCPD_support]

Nathan Belleau I can understand your concern and possible frustration with the situation. The best thing you can do is to question the assumptions being made by your psychiatrist, but not in a confrontational way. If he states that he does not believe you have ADHD, ask him to explain what his reasons for that are. If he insists you have OCPD, ask him what he sees in you that would indicate to him OCPD. Most of the symptoms you've listed for yourself would not be indicators of OCPD. So if you want to feel confident in your psychiatrist's capabilities, ask him what he is seeing that you and I aren't. I hope that helps and thanks for watching.

@@OCPD_support thats what i was thinking as well. I will do that. Thank you for such a quick reply!

[@colincollier3355]

I think I may have OCPD and I'm going through hell right now.

[@OCPD_support]

Colin Collier that is awful to hear. Is there any way I can offer help?

[@colincollier3355]

I don't know. I have a lot of people wanting to help me but won't or can't. Nobody seems to understand me. I just want my family back.

[@OCPD_support]

@@colincollier3355 if you're aware of your diagnoses, I would assume maybe that you've spoken with a mental health professional. As someone that suffered his whole life with this disorder, my biggest regret is not starting therapy as soon as I became aware of it.

[@colincollier3355]

@@OCPD_supportI don't know if I have OPCD, but I have all but one symptom. I will talk to my counselor this weekend about it.

[@OCPD_support]

@@colincollier3355 that sounds like a great idea. Feel free to let me know how it goes. There are groups of us out here supporting each other.

this video is actually great wow

@Winston Winstonson77 I will be doing a talking video soon. I'm in the middle of transitioning countries, but once I'm settled I will start producing more regularly. And I'm not familiar with the lockstep scenario, but I will look it up. Thanks!

[@OCPD_support]

@Winston Winstonson77 thanks again. When I was editing I realized there was a big difference in my presentation style from my normal videos and I hope to be able to replicate that going forward. I wouldn't say I've "moved" west, but yes, I've relocated to the States for the time being. We'll see how things play out with the virus situation and I'll make decisions from there. But for now I have the time to start the setup of an OCPD foundation and I'm excited about that moving forward. I checked out Lockstep. Freaky but not surprising.

[@camelkingofthemediteranean949]

Well because of my OCPD I am more in my house and onyo go outside for loved ones and work so lockdown is not though on me somehow.

[@OCPD_support]

Camel King of the Mediteranean there are definitely people whose lives have not needed much adjustment. And I'm glad it has not been detrimental to you. But my heart goes out to all those around the world that are suffering.
