Neurosis,

I want the book "i am neurotic (and so are you)". I've been on the website for a while reading through all the things the author does in her neurotic state, and I can relate to more than half. I know I'm neurotic, I have an anxiety disorder, and I suffer from depression. Somehow I've accepted this, and I don't want help anymore. I'm still somewhat happy to see that I'm not the only one who does things like that. Just to see that I'm not completely alone always gives me hope.

Here's a few from the book, that I myself do:
preserving the pointy tip
Whenever i use the fat Crayola markers, and only those particular markers, i feel bad if i press hard. it just seems like the whole marker’s life is ruined and it will be scarred for life if the tip of the marker is not pointy. so when i use those markers, i try not to press hard so they maintain a nice point.

pill confusion

I get really uncomfortable if I swallow two different pills at once. If they are the same medicine, I can take several at a time, but if they are different, I feel as if I have to take them one after the other, or else they might get confused.

i'll have what they're having

Whenever I go eat with friends, I wait to see what they’re getting before I make a choice. If they’re getting deep-fried this or greasy that, so will I. If they’re getting health food, so will I, even though I hate it. Otherwise I’m scared that they’ll think I’m a disgusting glutton.

gmail is tricky

When I send an e-mail I always have to go into the Sent Items and re-read the message I just sent, just to reassure myself that it still reads the way it did when I sent it a few seconds earlier.

There are quite a few more, but I'm too lazy to post the rest.
