Dry Tears
I tried hard to get a B+ on my algebra exam, but it was not to be.
I could not heal my cancer striken puppy and now he is a mere memory.
Today has the ability to be even more upsetting than I previous believed.
My passion, belief and failures leave me hoping to be reprieved.
Why strive to succeed if you have mastered the art of failing?
My ocd is leaving me for someone more suitable for the task at hand.
I think this could be the start of something promising.

It's a matter of taking a first step. I suffer from very mild OCD, but I can imagine it can be crippling. I like that you are exploring your healing through writing. You are doing great.

I deal with moderate to severe ocd myself, mine is mostly checking issues, locks, etc. anything that involves opening and closing, etc. and then I deal with cyclothymia as well which is like a lesser grade bipolar disorder and all of this causes me insomnia big time as well. It's a massive struggle for sure but keep going man and great write here! Maybe in some twisted way people like us are more creative/artistic types because of it all. Seems that way with artistic types throughout history anyway, high iq's and very creative is some kind of art form. Enjoyed and stay strong and kudos for you on getting it out there. I'm open about my ocd, etc. too because people in society need to be more aware of it too.

I think being ashamed of a problem just makes it worse. If you do not deal with a problem it will only eat away at you which causes more problems.
