Thanks Pax and Jane.
Yeah i think there's definitely a obsessive-compulsive component to it. i have very little stuff on the OCD spectrum but the OC "tendencies" i do have are fairly severe i think. Perfectionism; compulsive need for "rightness" i guess you could say (not necessarily order though). i duno. But yeah and then i think the major ADD sh*t i have makes it even worse."I have this problem too, It gets really bad and then everyone thinks you're a flake cos you say things and then change your mind. I am quite famous for it in my family, my mom doesn't really take what I say seriously unless its done and sealed !!" That's interesting. i think it's different with me though, cuz, i so abhor the thought of being insincere or holding strong views that are wrong that i rarely DO make strong claims (except in defense of confusion) or anything anymore-- AH i don't even know if that's exactly right or appropriately expressive. DAM*T@!!! But no i .. what i think i mean is that i don't think i change my mind (at least externally) too much in a short period of time (if that makes sense!)-- i'm always of the "i don't know" mentality. Anyway, sorry, i'm rambling. But does anyone else feel similar to this? Jane how bout you?
So you think the typical anti-OCD meds might be beneficial for this?
