School

I started school today. I had Lifespand Growth and Development and History of Rock and Jazz. Tomarrow, I have Principals of Sociology. On Monday, I have the sociology class and Introduction to Humanities.

I am actually glad about starting school again. I actually have a concrete purpose to my day, and I get to socialze and laugh it up with classmates.

I will be more busy, of course, so I may not update this blog as much.

Have a great day!

Scrupulosity

Well, since this is my first entry, I may as well post about my mental disorder. I have OCD. Here is a couple of websites with some general information to clear things up:

The Brainpsychics Site

On Scrupulosity:
Christian with OCD

Here are some posts I made on a couple of board I frequent. I do not like to type everything out, so I am pasting the links to my posts here. I am Shadow on this board.

Testimony 2

Even while getting over my Fundamentalism, I remain one who tries to do as Christ would. I hesitate to call myself a Christian many times because of my many imperfections. There have been times that I wanted to give up my faith, but I still hold on. Partially through fear of Hell, and partially for a growing love for God. I think there is more to Christianity than Bible-thumping, praying reptitative prayers, worrying about Hell all the time, and reading the Bible as one's main source of guidence. I think there is something deeper, and I have experienced something that I am frightened of because I may be destroyed, and at the same time, I revel in it and love it. I can not help but love this force back. The fear of the force is not from Hell when I experience this force, but that this force may destroy me because I am not used to this "love" (for lack of a better word). I do not agree with condemning people for their different beliefs or lack thereof. I enjoy talking to different people, even though the shell of the Fundamentalism still tries to cling on to my skin like dried paint. If someone has a question, I try to answer as well as I can, but I am still just learning.
Even though my episode with Fundamentalism lasted three months, it still left deep wounds. A slash of a knife may last an instant, but the scar can remain for a lifetime.

I am sorry for any pain I have caused people over the years, and especially pain I have caused in the past few months. My disorder is no excuse for bad behavior on my part. Be in peace, and worry no more.
