Dear Elle
I've also got lots of cats. 11 at the moment. Mostly cats that need homes from people leaving for overseas or who are abandoned, etc. They are all special and wonderful, but some of them just have that ability to really just climb into my heart and are just that little bit "extra special" somehow. Although I try never to show it in case any of the others feel hurt!
My OCD is a bit perculiar, I guess you'll think. It is with regard to my minister. Again, old enough to be my father and I love him as a daughter would. I developed an obsession about him. Keep buying him and his wife little presents, flowers, writing them little notes on how much I loved him/them etc.
It got so bad, with the cutting that I even wrote to them in my blood at one stage, to show how greatly I loved them.
They are both very loving and kind and understanding but it all got a bit too much and I had a complete breakdown and admitted to my family what I was doing. (I had hidden it up until then).Anyway, my minister and his wife have been fantastic but I am still obsessive (although less so). The only problem is, is that now he has developed a terrible illness which seems terminal. It worries me greatly, but my psychiatrist has been wonderful in helping me. Do you think that is a wierd story?
The first psychiatrist I went to was absolutely appalled by the story. She said she had never heard of anything so bizarre in her life!! - made me feel like a real freak. Unfortunately, that horrible feeling has stuck inside me, but this message board has given me the courage to open up a little bit - and also my current psychiatrist who is just too fantastic!
