| I had serious mental problems as a child.
I was OCD to the point of exhaustion. I had to touch nearly everything. I had to wash my hands until they were red and bleeding. When I ate food I had to swallow it in big, giant gulps because I was afraid of choking. Before I went to bed I had to unplug all the electronic stuff because I was scared of fire. Then after that I put a few of my favorite toys into a plastic bag incase there WAS a fire and I had to get out quickly.
Any door in public places I had to put my hand inside of my shirt to use as a glove to open. Germs.
After a few years of Catholic school sleep was ruined for me. Stories about the devil entering my soul was just too much. I had to, had to, had to, had to, had to sleep on my right side every night because I thought the devil could come in on the left, despite how uncomfortable that might be each night.
I slowly just stopped caring. Not believing in God also helped remove these things.
And no, unlike most of my posts I didn't make any of this up. It's 100% Miakal. In all his insane glory. |
