David Henecky's 7th Speech Analysis
7th Speech
“Sometimes I felt as if all my thoughts were leaves in a pile on a lawn, and a huge gust of wind would blow them all around.
As a child, I was gregarious, outgoing, and happy-go-lucky. Then something went horribly askew at about age 12. I did not know why I was unable to focus when I had been the best reader in school. I had been talkative, but I kept to myself, remained silent, and let bullies pick on me. I hadn't the slightest idea what was going on with my body and mind. Eighth-grade was probably my worst year because I was taunted, harassed, and bullied.

Obsessions are ideas, thoughts, impulses, or images that keep coming back. They are not enjoyable; rather obsessions are unwanted and upsetting, causing severe anxiety or distress whereas Compulsions are rituals that the person believes reduce the risk of the obsessions coming true, or at least reduce the anxiety they produce. However, the compulsions are not really useful. For example, a person who counts his money every hour may do so because they have an obsessive fear that someone might steal it or they may lose it.
Generally, OCD can be as simple as washing your hands every now and then, to a bigger issue that is isolating yourself from the rest of the world and create your own dramatic one. OCD has a cycle that starts with Obsession, followed by Anxiety, next is Compulsion (may not be present in certain cases) and finally Relief.
Just like any other disorder, OCD also has its types which are Checking, Contamination, Hoarding and Rumination.
Checking refers to keeping a constant check of your personal belongings, example checking whether the door is locked, and drawers closed just with the fear that someone might steal something, or you might lose something
