    I thought that it would be fun to start a thread whereby our OCD could complain about our achievements.
    I got the idea from Aronralstonismyhero when they said in the Anyone Cured thread

    Just had a thought that made me chuckle, how funny would it be if our ocd counterparts had a forum of there own where they discussed how to keep us under control. Hahaha I love that -

    "This is not good guys, they are keeping success diaries, getting councelling, Trudy did a load of washing before breakfast, Helz is sitting on her bed with her feet up and Aron left without so much as a peek at the appliances. we are losing control"

    It's not fair today Trudy has managed to put a load of washing on and she only checked it twice when she put it in the machine, she also washed up in record time without continually washing her hands. It's not fair I think that I'm losing control. Has anyone else experienced this sort of thing and is there anyway that we as OCD can get control back? Do you think CBT will work or will this reinforce their non OCD behaviour? She's just not panicked or wasted enough time today If this carries on she'll have time to start to go out and enjoy herself and then were will that leave me? I'll be sat at home alone with no one to torment, it's so frustrating

    Go Trudy! I love it. LMAO.

    Today, Aron completely ignored me when I tried to insert the idea that she had left the cooker on. As if it wasn't bad enough that she even made herself a proper meal this time (usually she just has something crap to negate the need for checking haha!) but I thought I would at least have the satisfaction of "it's off, I can see it's off, the thing is black. It has to be off. I would see it if it was on. Oh god, why can't I just walk away" This is intolerable ! (sniff) I feel so alone.

    To add insult to injury, she didn't even lose it when I tried to convince her that she got the cats eye drops in her hair! Where was the panicky and tearful immediate shower? And where was the worry that the cat hates her for putting the drops in??!

    Any ideas how I can creep in the back door? She's great at ruminating. Any thoughts? Terrible Bubbles, I am sorry to hear you are also having a bad day.

    Well which one of you OCD chaps gave Trudy the idea that she's the one that's supposed to be in control and not me?
    She's now standing up to me and making my life intolerable
    She took her fleece out of the drier and I'm sure part of it touched the outside edge of the opening when she opened the door. Usually I can convince her to wash it again but today she turned and said to me 'Even if I think that the outside of the machine is contaminated it can't be worse than what's on places like the tube trains and I lean up against the walls and doors on the tube.' Poor deluded soul. She told me to naff off or words to that effect and carried on. This just isn't good enough, we have rights and by allowing them to support each other on this thing called an OCD forum they are denying us our rights
    She then managed to get the next load in the drier with not too many problems and now when I tried to convince her that she put the flannel that she wiped the inside of the drier door back into the drier she wasn't having any of it and told me in no uncertain terms that she'd put it in with the next load of washing. There was no panicking and no swearing and cursing - all the things that I enjoy making her do. What am I supposed to do now for fun? Personally I think that she's being very selfish denying me a few simple pleasures.
    I thought that I'd wait until she's eating and then put a few horrific images into her mind and watch her squirm.
    As her day's got better mine's just got worse
    Trudy's just seen this and her retort was 'TOUGH!' Not very nice is it?

    "she didn't even believe that she had put the wrong light bulb in the lamp, thus causing a fire. I needled and provoked her and you know what she did? Switched off the lamp, turned and LEFT THE ROOM. Sod it!

    Golum thought he had re infiltrated when he insisted that she go have a look at it later (just to "make sure" heehe, they are so gullible) but sadly, alas, Aron had one swift glance and LEFT THE ROOM AGAIN. I felt no pleasure at all. This sucks.

    TB has not derailed Trudy from her washing today either. What is our world coming to??!! This is serious now. Calling all OCD compulsions, obsessions, ruminations etc, you know who you are. . . we are going to have to step up our
    game here. Try every tactic you have in your book of tricks. Find that little back door, and when you discover that moment of weakness, POUNCE! Ending transmission. Over and Out. Golum."

    Keep strong peeps. The natives are restless, they will respond with dirty tactics. Do not be fooled. We will prevail. Aron

    Trudy thought that she was getting the upper hand so I soon put paid to that idea. I made sure that the pump on the hand wash was defective and continually told her that even though she'd pressed it nothing had come out - she fell for it every time. Then I made sure that the washing machine turned half of the items inside out, I fell about laughing as she struggled to turn the stuff the right way and continually told her that she'd let the clothes touch something. But then things went wrong; normally she'd get her knickers in a right twist, but however hard I tried she just ignored me and struggled on. I don't like to be ignored and persisted and was shocked when she calmly informed me that if I didn't mind my own business she'd take me to the vets and have me seen to I didn't think that there was any call for that sort of talk. I mean it's not as if I'm being a nuisance I'm just acting in my I mean her best interest.
    Despite my best efforts she's done three loads of washing and only used just over one bottle of hand wash, not fair as it'll mean that my shares in the company wont be worth the paper they're written on if she carries on like this. I'm bored
    I'm going to have to take advice from some of my colleagues as she's not being fair on me

    TB, I sympathise. Golum had a bad day too. I mean, I still got to her here and there, and screwed with her head as usual, but I am finding that Aron is able to block some of the thoughts that I am planting. She seems to be able to see more clearly that it is a trick on my part. Rats!

    You will need to step up your game TB, as Trudy's energy supplier called me today to confirm that indeed their profits are dropping. This is a direct result of the drop in the needless repetition of washing clothes that have just been cleaned. This is not good enough.

    Hmmm, well - let's concentrate on our victories, after all, they keep us strong.

    Aron got realy upset when she bravely put the oven on to make something substantial for dinner, and realised that she could have microwaved it. You should have seen her face, it was a picture. I can feel her dreading going to bed tonight cos she knows that she'll need to look at the plug and dials over and over and h-ooooover again, and it didn't even need to have been switched on. Aron is really freakin out about it. I can sense a battle of wills shaping up for bedtime. She thinks she may be ok since she has already looked at it a few times, but I can feel her fear. Just as well, I was getting hypothermia from lack of fuel.

    I am a little concerned though, at the lack of serious handwashing today. There isn't a huge decrease and her hands are still a mess (he he) but there were three times today when no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't persuade her that she was contaminated. It has served to reinforce that there is no need to wash so much and I DON'T LIKE IT!

    Anyway, I am off to re assure the energy companies that we will re gain control. Signed with evil and hunger for power, as always, Golum

    TB calling
    Well the day started well for me, I really managed to get to Trudy and convince her that she hadn't done anything right and she took ages to leave the flat this morning. I even had her in tears on more than one occasion. I really thought that I was winning
    But once she got out of the flat it all changed. She started to fight back and it didn't matter how hard I tried to convince her that things weren't safe she ignored me and carried on regardless.
    She got caught on a tube station as there were no trains because of a signal failure and so she was late for a meeting. Great I thought here's a chance to really play with her mind and make her feel so insecure that she'll give in and start the compulsions. But instead of listening to me she turned and started talking to a complete stranger. They were both laughing and joking about the incompetence of the tube staff and I didn't get a look in It was if she'd forgotten that I existed.
    Finally she got to the meeting and I thought that I'd be able to have fun then, but she was so engrossed with the other person that I was left sitting in the corner with no one to play with. Totally selfish if you ask me.
    Even when she got in and dropped her fleece jacket she calmly (well calmly for her) got on and put it in the machine. I managed to get her to wash her hands a few times but not enough to satisfy my desires.
    Golum we really do have to do something or we're going to be left out in the cold with no one to play with. I might also have to change the companies that I've got shares in if she's not going to use as much hand wash or electricity.
    Once she had got over the hissy fit this morning I too was feeling the cold from lack of fuel from her fear, but hopefully I can get warm when she starts her bedtime rituals as her fear levels then go through the roof
    I'm going to have to set goals like she's doing in order to regain control.
    I hope that she goes to bed soon as I'm feeling faint through lack of any substantial fear from her
    Golum, let's hope that we both have a better day tomorrow

    I am really keeping Helz in her place at the moment. She's doing everything I want her to do! She's so easy to control, it's brilliant. I've lucked out with this loser. And I hear you're doing well too, Over Eating?

    Yup! I certainly am! I got her to eat loads today, it was fantastic. She can't stop herself, I just have to tell her she wants more and she shoves food down her neck like she's starving. She really is pathetic isn't she? Her life is empty so she fills it with food!

    Think yourself lucky. At least your victim takes you seriously. Wombat, the little smart alec, insists that a life full of food sounds pretty good. My most daring and artistic feats are forgotten at a mere whiff of carbohydrate. Gah! Upstaged by a muffin!

    Still, Wombat won't be laughing long. My motto in life, you know - if at first you succeed, try, try, try again! Repeating yourself is underrated. To add insult to injury, Wombat is cherishing an idea that I'm slipping. I beg to differ. ONE of us is kidding themselves, and it's not me. At least I hope not.

    Evil Amy, Whiskers, TB, and Helz counterpart - (what is your name o' ruler of Helz?) Aaaaaah, it's great to be alive!

    For all the times that cocky little madam said "Shut it Golum, I'm not listening" or boasted to all her little buddies how she had beaten me - hear this Aron - YOU SUCK! You know now, courtesy of moi - that you are stuck with me forever. Your triumphs short lived, your happiness temporary. I have infiltrated every area of your life. Everyone who knows you thinks you are odd and hates you, and you have no hope. Face it - you even make your mum unhappy with all your drama, and she is the only one who really loves you. But I am working on that too. I drove her away already this weekend. Just like I drove away everyone you ever cared about.

    Suck on that Aron Find the positive in that you insipid little runt

    This is evil Amy. I'm really worried I have a disease. Its called OAD-overly annoying disease. Ella is going to see a mental health clinic, and she promises this is where we end. She says she will develop a new alter ego, and she will win over,she told me that there is the door, now use it, I didnt pay money to have it installed if it wont be put to any use. I am really worried, and because Ella has been so confident, I feel really sick and exhausted, like I have put loads of effort in and won nothing. Does anyone have any advise?

    Hi Ella
    Great to see you back. There's a skip on the forum for the OAD but maybe there's an even bigger one at the clinic. Luv Tess XX
