CONTROL FREAKS

There are people and there are people.  The first category people are the normal, sane, homo sapiens who exist on our Mother Earth.  The second one, ah, this category is probably created to make Hell on earth for the first category folks. Yes-THE CONTROL FREAKS.

They want absolute order.  They go about their tasks with a magnifying glass probably, or better still a microscope may be.   Even a speck of dust in the farthest nook and cranny shows up in their extra-sensitive radar.  The one-woman/man army swings into action to annihilate the offending intruder.

They have the power to detect the minutest motion of objects-especially if they happen to be articles on tables, shelves, cabinets etc.  The tirade against the unfortunate movers and shakers is best left unsaid.

This demon called OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER or OCD is an uninvited visitor who pitches his tent and refuses to leave, in the process making life miserable for the co-habitants.

Medical research says that the levels of the neurotransmitter Serotonin in the brain are low in people who have OCD.  Interestingly, scientific studies have also established that love also causes Serotonin levels in the brain to drop, which may lead people to obsess about their lover.

So aren’t we drawing parallels here-being smitten by a lover and being afflicted by the OCD?  That makes it sound better - love-struck and OCD-struck! Now, why would I go to such lengths to make OCD look harmless and appealing?  Truth be said, well, I belong to the second category as well!!
