DO YOU HAVE A SUPER POWER?

[username]

Not a super power, but I had severe OCD as a kid. I had to think my mind out of it, but I still have a slight case. I don't have any super powers, but I can blind draw. I can look at something, close my eyes and sketch it perfectly. I can even do people.

Ohhh, that’s cool (your abilities now). 

Sorry about the OCD. My daughter has learned she CAN’T think her way out of hers. It’s just a never ending process of thinking about stuff and she can’t shut it off. For her, she’s found the only way out is by distracting herself and living and doing things despite her inclination to just curl up with her thoughts and try to “think things through”. She can’t.

A few months ago her OCD was bugging her and she got into some stage where she was debating with herself about showering. Was it vanity? Did she really NEED to shower or was that some social pressure she felt? It became a moral/existential question for her. She was spinning but she showered DESPITE her thoughts at the time.

Win but sucks.
