The only thing off of My Strange Addiction I've seen was about eating chalk. I'm pretty convinced I have pica.

OCD, i'm watching 'monk' at the moment and he's OCD.
i think my father has it as well.

That's an example of OCD.
Most people think it has to do with cleaning and germaphobes, but it's any complusive behavior.

I can't decide...they both seem pretty interesting.

Oh, yay, I broke 5,000 gold! :boogie:

Val, I haven't I don't think. Is it like a TV programme or something?
Thank you for your input everyone. I have to do an essay about a completely different topic - I'm doing Bipolar - and I just ran out of energy to pick. Haha.

Type 1 or Type 2?

My Strange Addiction is...interesting.
A few of the people on there seemed to be on there just for attention...

Like the girl who sucked on her thumb.
just...weird.

others had serious problems. Like the hair pullers, the girl who bleached her skin so she'd feel pretty, and such.

I only found out about My Strange Addiction and pica because of a Google search I did. We don't have cable. We did when I was little, though. I miss it so much!

bipolar seems difficult to live with.

Magi: I don't believe there are specific types for Bipolar, are there? Are you thinking of diabetes by any chance?

Yeah the sucking thumb sounds lame.
But there has been serious ones like the one girl that complusively ate drywall.

Amane: I'm just over 5k as well! :)

I think there's an English version of that programme ... oh, wait, it's actually strange phobias we had. There was someone afraid of buttons and someone else who couldn't stand glitter.

Or the chick who ate the cremated remains of her dead husband!!!

No there are a couple different types. One has psychotic episodes while the other type does not. :P
