Every once in a while, I feel like I'm creatively drained. I guess it's a natural by-product of writing and editing several articles every day.When I worked as a journalist (I was an Arts & Entertainment Critic and feature writer), I usually wrote two stories a day. I used to think that was hard, and it is if written well, but I had it easy back then. The only real difficulty was trying to write in a busy newsroom with lots of noise and distractions.When I'm feeling drained, I tend to do a lot of work around the house. I take my frustrations out on inanimate objects with a scrub brush, vacuum and broom. I clean and organize everything - compulsively - and it usually does work to make me feel better.Why do I clean instead of exercising or some other stress relieving tactic? Well, f

There are no obvious physical signs. Unlike some drug or alcohol abusers, there are no needle marks, breath odor, slurred speech or staggering gait. Like alcoholics and drug addicts, compulsive gamblers typically deny [...]

As I’m writing this, I have someone standing outside my door, banging to get in, trying to “evict” me. LOL. They’ve been at it for half an hour or so. I called the police, and they’re sending someone out.
Actually, I haven’t heard anything much from them now for a full minute. I saw a shadow [...]
With some dogs, meals aren't the only source of oral intake they have. Wool and other fibers, non-digestible plant material, rubber, plastic, wood, and even their own hair are just some of the things a dog may choose to ingest. This problem - the drive to consume material that is not generally considered food – is called “pica” and is what animal behaviorists call a compulsive disorder.In a human, a compulsive disorder may be repetitive, such as frequent hand washing or pulling one's hair out. In dogs, these disorders can include excessive licking and spinning in circles. Compulsive disorders are repetitive, nonfunctional, nonbeneficial behaviors. Although the exact cause of compulsive disorders is unknown, animal behaviorists feel that they are often caused by stress brought on by environmental conflicts such as competition with other pets, changes in the home, constant punishment, or confinement to small areas such as cages or crates.Lack of socialization or too much attentio
Telegraph has a interesting report about an Indian Blog Compulsive Confessor written by Delhi Born but Mumbai based writer Meenakshi Reddy Madhavan. Compulsive Confessor is written in a sexy steamy style where Meenakshi discusses everything from her boyfriends past and present down to Jat Strippers. Meenakshi is a journalist with Outlook on the cultural beat and this style of writing has gotten her a Book Deal with Penguin for writing a novel for new age women pretty much like Sex and City for India. For my part I am sceptical about Compulsive Confessor's fan following with a 400-500 hits per day its not a lot but this article is a sure shot publicity gainer and this pic ala Basic Instinct smacks of a publicity stunt here is what Telegraph has to say about herBrazen from the beginning, the young Bombay-based blogger decided to call her Internet journal "The Compulsive Confessor", issuing a titillating invitation to share even the most intimate details of her life.The Compulsive Confes
Obsessive-compulsive disorder(OCD)is a chronic or long-term illness. Although unrecognized by most people, OCD affects many people. Because the symptoms are so severe, OCD can be devastating. Anxiety is the most prominent symptom of OCD. Patients often cannot maintain emotional and social relations, have difficulty coping with daily life events, and have problems studying or working.

Every society has used drugs producing profound effects on mood, thought and feeling.Moreover there were always a few individuals who disgressed from custom with respect to the time, the amount and the situation in which these drugs had to be used.Thus, the problem of drug abuse is as old as civilization itself.Since 1970 the opioids were used both for easing withdrawal and for maintenance.The treatment of compulsive narcotics users with Methadone and similar drugs while having certain advantages, also created problems and public health risks.Patients participating in programs were sources of illicit diversion of the drug prescribed, thus creating the potential of primary addiction to methadone in others.In addiction, some intermittent heroin users became severely physically dependent if innapropriately admitted to maintenance programs.Soon it was clear that with few exceptions chronic maintenance programs for these drugs were of little benefit for the patient.The same happened and sti
Compulsive overeating or binge eating is a common eating disorder in which people eat and eat, even after they are completely full. Compulsive overeaters often feel “out of control” with food, so much that they literally cannot stop eating. This problem is different from bulimia nervosa (where people binge, but then try “purge” food out [...]
On August 4 GlaxoSmithKline was forced to update its package insert for Requip, a drug used to treat restless legs syndrome (RLS) or, "jitters in the legs," which some claim isn’t a real disease. What is real, is that Requip also causes “pathological gambling,” and “increased libido including hypersexuality.” We know this because that’s what the new package insert says.

Little girl snubbing singer/actress Hilary Duff has revealed that she struggles with sleep deprivation, because she can’t go to bed until her living space is spotless.Hil cannot sleep past 7am, and even cleans up hotel rooms before checking out, because she can’t leave a mess of any kind. Hilary tells Maxim Magazine: “I’m OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) when it comes to cleaning. I can’t go to bed with a messy room. That would totally wig me out. It freaks me out to have dishes in the sink. I practically clean my hotel room before I check out. I wish I weren’t psychotic like that, but I am.” “No matter how late I stay out the night before, I will wake up at 7am. It’s kind of sick. My friends are like, ‘What are you doing up? Go to bed. That’s creepy.’”
#690: REPETITIONToday is about compulsive repetition.It makes me want to ball up my fists and go oooooooh! with my eyes squinched tight like a cartoon character. Maybe Wilma Flintstone.From the moment I woke up this morning, I had "Achy Breaky Heart" streaming through my head. It was there for over four hours and sounded tinny like an AM radio station. I don't like country music, I despise line dancing, and now I am feeling less than friendly toward Billy Ray for having put this song into the world. Billy, it's nothing personal, but fuck you.That torrent of AM country radio hell finished abruptly and turned into an endless rotation of "Kumbaya". If you've ever sat through hundreds or thousands of church services, sunday school lessons, church summer campfires, and christian youth conferences like I have, this song has been done and done and done again in unison, harmony, rounds, and as twenty-minute long spirit-filling remixes. It pains like a thousand pins in my own personal
obsession: 1. Compulsive preoccupation with a fixed idea or an unwanted feeling or emotion, often accompanied by symptoms of anxiety. 2. A compulsive, often unreasonable idea or emotion. 3. A perfume by Calvin Klein. 4. Name of my sister’s cat in junior high.
Crystal of Crissybug’s Crazy Clan tagged me for the obsession meme. I am supposed to list 5 things I am obsessed with right now, but I figured that would be kind of boring - blogging, my family, reading, learning and eating. I bet a lot of us have the same obsessions.
To mix things up a bit I decided to try and think of some other compulsive preoccupations I have.
1. Time. I don’t think I could go through a single day without glancing at a clock in my house, my Fossil watch, my cell phone or the clock in the dashboard of my car. Unfortunately I am a slave to time, but ironically I am always looking for ways to find more of it.
2. Finding healthy foods for Cory to eat. Most 2 year olds are picky.
I wouldn't say I'm no more of a shoelover than the next woman. However, there are women out there who take shopping to the next level. If you find yourself itching to leave work and make a beeline to the mall every single day, there may be a problem.I came across an article on bankrate.com. I think you'll find it very interesting.Compulsive Shopping Disorder disorder: It's no jokeby Pat CurryIn June of 2006, Betty Jean Barachie of Kunkletown, Pa., was sentenced to 27 months in prison for embezzling $1.5 million over eight years from the credit union where she was a branch manager. She used the money to buy, among many, many other things, hundreds of pairs of shoes, more than 3,000 books, 58 coats, 16 chain saws and a $25,000 John Deere tractor.A psychologist called as a witness at her trial testified that she was a compulsive shopper. Most of the items she bought sat piled in her house unused with the price tags still on them. The psychologist said Barachie was depressed to the po
According to a new Mayo Clinic study compulsive gambling with extensive losses (in two cases more than $100,000) by individuals without a prior history of gambling problems has been linked to a class of drugs commonly used to treat the neurological disorder restless legs syndrome (RLS).The study (which appeared in the Jan. 23 issue of Neurology) describes this compulsive gambling in RLS patients who are being treated with medications that stimulate dopamine receptors in the brain.
