OCD SUPPORT GROUP - SESSION 7

[woodstock854]

Here is how we started:

Welcome, everyone to the very first meeting of the "OCD Support Group". (Obsessive Clay Disorder)

I am shy, so I walk slowly into the room and find a seat in the back. The meeting begins and there is a room full of claymaniacs. It is very quiet. I raise my hand very slowly. Pamela notices and asks, " Do you have something to share?" My knees are shaking, but I am able to finally get the words out.
"Hi. My name is Woodstock. And I suffer from OCD." The room erupts with applause. I hear so many things around me..."Welcome, Woodstock, what a great step to admit that!" "I do, too..." "We're all with you..." And I knew immediately that I have come to the right place.

We all talk about it, and joke about it, but this can be a serious subject,too. I love Clay, but quite honestly, I have worried about why I spend SO much time listening to him, downloading everything..talking about him on-line , taping EVERY TV show . And more than anything, simply thinking about him night and day. He enters my thoughts in the middle of just about everything! What is going on???
I am a 50-year-old (yikes) wife and mother of three children aged 18, 21 and 23. I have a career and am involved in many things. Then somehow, Clay has entered the picture and I fear he has taken over more of my life than I care to admit.

I realized awhile back that I suffered from OCD. But it was hard to admit to anyone. My 18-year-old son kept telling me that I was obsessed, and after awhile, I began to think he was right. And I spent night and day wondering what was wrong with me. Why are my thoughts going to Clay in the middle of a a school lesson or a church sermon? Why can't I wait to get home and turn on a Clay CD or check out claymaniacs.com to get new info on Clay? If Clay was going to be on a TV station that I didn't get, I HAD to find someone to tape it for me. I was beginning to think I was losing my mind. REALLY!!!

Then I found claymaniacs. It has been wonderful for me to talk to you. The more I got to know you guys, the more I was able to let it all hang out. And what did I learn? I'm NOT the only one. There is something about this guy that grabs you and wraps around your heart, and you're hooked. You are NOT going crazy, I have come to learn after talking to so many of you. I get pms and e-mails from people after I have posted something I couldn't admit anywhere else, and I realize I'm not alone! And it has been a great comfort to me. It took a little while, but I now know that I'm OK. And I feel much better. Now, I am enjoying Clay SO MUCH MORE, because I am not worrying about myself.

Let me make this perfectly clear: I am not over my OCD! I still think about Clay all the time (24/7?) and listen to him sing(OMG) constantly, and download, and chat about him. But I no longer worry that there is something wrong with me. I know I am not alone. There is something so very special about this man. He is the whole package. Because I was able to feel better after admitting things to you guys here, I decided that this is a thread that is needed here. Here is your place to vent. Admit your feelings, or confess something that you have thought or done. It is our hope that by doing that, you will find out that it's OK and you will stop worrying about yourself, and now be able to enjoy Clay even more. I hope this is a place everyone can come back to as needed.

Rules, rules, rules.... Everyone must promise to be kind, respectful, non-judgemental, and supportive. (Easy for claymaniacs.) Again, this is your place to get something off your chest, or just admit your OCD and accept it. So, let the discussions begin!
Just for fun, if you join in the conversation, you then become an official charter member of the OCD Support Group, and can add that to your signature if you wish. I look forward to each and every one of your posts.
Woodstock
P.S. Please feel free to pm me.

That was the beginning to Session 1. Here's a little history...

Session 1 went from April 20 - June 26, 2004 2036 posts 17,198 views

Session 2 went from June 26 - July 12, 2004 1986 posts 17,281 views

Session 3 went from July 12 - July 24, 2204 1921 posts 14,518 views

Session 4 went from July 24 - August 4, 2004 1996 posts 15,658 views

Session 5 went from Aug. 4 - Aug. 14, 2004 2064 posts 16,155 views
 
Session 6 went from Aug. 14 - Aug. 24, 2004 2045 posts 15,900 views

And now on to Session 7. In the last 2 Sessions, we have posted nearly 2000 times in 11 days. Again, I say WOW!!!!! (You are wearing me out!!!) Good times with good friends. That is what this is all about.

I am no longer including a detailed description of our Therapy Center (just pretend, for those of you that are new.)  I will just say that we meet in a Cyber Cottage on a  Street With No Name.  We have to continue the THUD room, as it is such an important part of our therapy.  So please feel to frequent it as needed.  For more details, please read a past thread.
Our rules will continue.  Beware of the wrath of Bocaqueen.  She takes the rules very seriously, and she is out-of-town, so I can get away with saying this tonite, but will be in BIG trouble when she gets home.  Please rally around me, dear friends, and protect me.  You know I will need it. YIKES!!!!!
As for the rules, these are to keep the place somewhere we all are proud to come to:
 I will repeat the rules, because we now have 6!!! At the request of Bocaqueen, we have added #6:
YOU MUST BE: 1. kind 2. respectful 3. non-judgemental 4. supportive
AND 5. YOU MUST NEVER SAY THE "s" word. (sorry). No need to apologize for thoughts and feelings. 6. No dieting when at OCD meetings. Period.

And I am going to take it upon myseslf to add a suggestion (one that many people make to me), but not make it a rule. It is your choice as your time allows. But I am going to say that if you don't have time PLEASE DON'T FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE TO KETCHUP !!! Jump in and say hi, tell us what is up in your Clay world, and have good conversation. Yes, you may miss someone's post, but we never want being here to be so time-consuming that it causes frustration, family problems, or a cause to drive you away. We never want ANYONE to feel they need to address each person. It is simply impossible and no one expects it anymore. If some people choose to do that, it is their choice, but simply not expected. We have grown so big, and happily so!!! So, let's just jump in, read one page behind, and enjoy the conversation. Not a rule!!!! Just something that has been suggested to me many times...

And our OCD pact: No hard feelings if someone doesn't mention you in their post. We are getting far too big for that to ever be a reality again, but we are blessed by many new friends.

We are a happy group here. And we intend to keep it that way. Every now and then someone pms with me a concern, idea, or observation. I appreciate and take to heart each and every pm. I feel we are all equal in this thread, equal partners, but because I started this thread some people come to me, and I am happy to help if I can. Recently, someone came to me asking me to remind everyone that we are a PG thread, we are "family friendly", as Clay would see it, and we do welcome in friends of all ages. If the spirit moves you, and you feel your comments may not be within PG, claymaniacs does have a place for this, and it is the Black Leather Pants thread in Got Clay.  Thank you for understanding this. I do not think we have crossed the line, in my opinion, but it does not hurt to bring this subject up as one of concern to some OCDers.  

So, WELCOME one and all to Session 7 of the OCD Support Group. I hope you are comfortable in our home away from home. Please feel free to join in and be a part of a warm and caring group.

Love you all!!!! Thanks for hanging around so much that we had to start Session 7 . May the session begin!!!
Love you,
Woodstock  :D X7

SESSION NUMBER 7: (Let this be the LUCKIEST one of all...just for Bocaqueen who's "living it up in Vegas"!LOL)  Miss ya' woman!

We’ve grown to be so big…one big, happy, caring family. Woodstock had asked for a description of our OCD Meetings—I’m going beyond the furnishings, rooms and décor and I thought a few comments of late from our fellow OCDers that to me, really explains who/what we are all about is most appropriate:


AS I WAS READING THE BEGINNING OF SESSION 6 FROM WOODSTOCK IT JUST FILLED BY HEART WITH SO MUCH LOVE. THIS THREAD HAS BEEN SUCH A LIFE SAVER FOR ME AS WELL AS SO MANY OF US. WHEN I LOOKED AT ALL THE PEOPLE WE PRAY FOR ON A DAILY BASIS I REALIZED HOW MUCH WE ALL HAVE IN COMMON. THIS THREAD IS BUILT ON A REALLY STABLE GROUND BEGINNING WITH GOD AND THEN ALL OF US WE HAVE COME HERE TO SHARE OUR LIFES, TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS AND OUR LOVE FOR OUR CLAY AIKEN. THIS THREAD CAN NEVER FAIL NOT WITH THOSE INGREDIENTS.

At this point a lot of us have met each other and have formed real relationships, either in person or by phone. I hope to meet more of you in the near future! I also want to thank Clay, one of God's beautiful creation, because he is the reason we all ended up here. The majority of us have the same story. "I saw the AI2 concert, or followed AI2 on TV and just knew there had to be more about him somewhere." That is exactly what happened to me and how I came about "The Claymaniacs." There were so many other sites to go to, but I just picked this one. You have all been my family in every way that a long distance family could be. I have felt love, support and compassion from so many people. You have all lifted me up everyday. When there is darkness, you have all been my sunshine. When I was down, you made me laugh! I love you all!

CT Loves Clay

Getting together with other claymaniacs is as fulfilling an experience as seeing Clay. He is the icing on the cake, not the other way around. I will never meet Clay Aiken, or get the hug I would like to get, or have my picture taken with him. But I DID meet wonderful people, got LOTS of hugs, had my picture taken with them, and walked away knowing I WILL see them again. It is a priority. I am overwhelmed with emotion thinking about it. Some show emotion more than others, but I bet we all feel the same thing. I am glad some of you have more concerts to go to. Because besides seeing Clay, you will get to enjoy this camaraderie again. Friends of mine will never understand how this can happen with people who were once strangers, and just someone else who posted on the same website. But there is a true bond there. I love my new friends I have made, and I hope they feel the same. And I am sure I would feel the same meeting the rest of you.

I want people to know that I am twenty-nine years old and NEVER And I do mean never have I ever felt such love from friends. I was always an outsider because I did not have parents, and everyone I knew had parents, so as a teen I had no way to relate to others. I can truly say that I have never had friends that mean so much to me until I joined Claymaniacs.


Ok I am crying again so that is all ya get. I truly do love each of you. Not only am I proud to have such wonderful friends I am proud that the love of a simple man named Clay Aiken brought us all together. I like to think that Clay would be proud also.

Lastly from me, I have a bit of a "battle" ahead, but know that with the love of my fellow OCDers and Maniacs, I will survive...THANK YOU ONE AND ALL!!!!!

Love,

Jayne

PRAYER GROUP'S PRAYER LIST

Welcome to The OCD's Prayer Group
Many of our OCD members have expressed a desire to share our Love, Care and Concern for each other through the Love and Faith we share in Our Lord. This has resulted in starting a Prayer Group that will pray together, simulataneouly offline, in private, everyday at 10:00PM .

We will include a Prayer List that will keep members abreast of the intentions that will be focused upon for each individual on the list. We will have an overall coverage of certain daily inclusions, Urgent/"SOS's" to God as emergencies arise as well as circumstances that we are aware of or that the individual has themselves requested.

We are doing this offline as not to offend anyone who is not of likemindedness. We ask that as we respect your decision not to join us in Prayer, that you accept our need as believers to minister to each other in this fashion.

We do, however, invite you to read our list, and if you would like to, just take the time to think good thoughts and well wishes for those who are suffering or in need.

I hope you all bear with me in overseeing this list. If you find I have not included someone., it is either because they requested not to be included or that I am not sure where you stand on this issue. If you would like to be added to the list, please PM me with your request. If I have added you in error, my apologies and please notify me thru PM asap.

Everyone who is part of this group will be listed daily. If there is nothing beside your name, it is either I am not sure if something that you told me was announced publicly or privately to me and therefore for privacy issues, I would not take the chance to include it. Know that if it is not there and I am aware of it, as any of you may know things about one another that we ALL are not privy to....please remember to include those in your private prayers.
------------------------------------------------------------
Let us begin:

LORD,
WE GATHER HERE TOGETHER TO GIVE THANKS AND PRAISE FOR ALL YOUR WONDROUS GIFTS. WE ASK THAT YOU LOOK UPON US WITH MERCY AND GRANT US FORGIVENESS. MAY WE LIVE EACH DAY REMEMBERING THAT WE ARE YOUR CHILDREN AND ARE TO CARRY OUT YOUR WILL. PLEASE PROTECT US FROM ALL EVIL AND GIVE US THE DIRECTION TO FULFILL OUR SOJOURN HERE.

And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another : and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching" (Hebrews 10:24-25).


"Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life" (Proverbs 4:23).

-----------------------------------------------------

.......and from me,


Give me eyes Lord, to see hidden tears,
Help me to comfort those filled with fears.
Give me ears, Lord, to hear the plea
Of those who depend and rely on me.
Give me strength Lord, for those, weaker than I,
To share their burdens and not ask, "WHY?"
Give me courage,Lord, to forget pain from the past,
To know in Your arms, I can find peace at last.
Give me wisdom, Lord, to plant the seeds,
In those who question what this world really needs.
Give me Your grace,Lord, for it's only through You
I can find the insight to know what to do.
Give me hope, Lord, when new challenges begin,
Through a joyful life, that comes from within.
Most of all, Lord, as You taught from the start,
Just give me a kind and loving heart.

Shirley Wlodarczyk

Lord, You are kind and
forgiving, most loving to
all who call on You.
Psalm 86.5
----------------------------------------------------------
May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord
be glad in these works!
Psalm 104:31


GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
LOVE YOUR FRIEND,
Susan

Clay, God has blessed you with a voice of an Angel and everything you are and everything you do, reflects that YOU..... are HIS.... Measure of a Man.

AC, how beautiful that you did this for Jayne.  You are so wonderful and we love you.  

          Your friend, Pepe

[Glory]

AC you are a dear friend we love having you with us, LOOKING for the CELLCERT ???????????I LOVE ALL SO VERY MUCH DID NOT MAKE MUCH SENSE DID IT,OH WELL.

[Claymaniac2000]

Tammy,
Here is the picture you wanted brought over

Can I Keep Her Jerome?.

 

[Claymaniac2000]

The link to the video of the Rockford bus incident is at Airplay Central. The first video under Rockford. It just says BUS.  I read 3 different accounts of people who were there and they all said the woman did grab him. Nobody said anything about him tripping.

[Pepe]

Tammy, am I ever into birds and gardeninng.  I have three birdbaths, and a fountain,  2 tube feeders for Sunflower seed, 2 feeders for Thistle seed and 1 flat feeder and three hummingbird feeders.  My garden consists of roses, lavendar, babies breath, marigolds, hibiscus, hydragena, begoinias, geraniums, petunias, tomatoes green pepper and tons of spring blooming flowers.  Plus I have two dogs a yorkie and a Papillion.  We feed four wild cats and feed a dog named Fred whose owner doesn't take care of him.  So that is what I do to stay busy, plus I cook a lot the reason for my name.  Gee you probably got more than you wanted to know.  So glad you are with us.

             Good Night Everyone!!!   Pepe (Clay's Personal Chef) :

[ACcountryFan]

Well, it seems some of the regulars have made it to session #7. I was replying to a PM when the session opened :D

i saw your post over there Pepe and saw your new avatar! i think there might be some people still posting over at #6. of course, i had to bring this picture over...



Pepe/GLORY: like i had said in the last pages of session #6, i had no idea what HER/Jayne was going through and the fact that she still made our DVDs during this ordeal is amazing! well, doing them might have kept her mind off things for awhile...

hello, Janet...i didn't take the shower i said was...but i am now! we'll be probably nearly 20 pages by the time i get home from work tomorrow morning : and i hope you all know if we are, i'll only go back and read the last 3 pages if that's the case :D

[ILClaymate]

Hey all!!  Still getting caught up from session 6!  LOL

Evelyn, don't worry about your procedure.  My dad has had it done and it is just in the office and is a piece of cake.  No problems, I think he even drove himself there and back.

HER, I'm so s*rry to hear about you and hubby.  I know this is a hard time for you and for your kids.  Please know that you will be in my prayers as will your kids.  Hang in there, ok?  We are always here for you if you ever need to chat or vent.  PM me anytime, ok?

Shannon, I have already pm'd you but I wanted to say how touching that story was that you posted about claymaniacs and your friendships here.  You had me crying as well.  I cannot wait to meet you Sunday and we will have so much fun together I'm sure!  And hey, what happened to our "clay sandwich" huh???  You aren't kicking me out of the room that easily missy!!!!  LOL  :

Jackie, Woody and her daughter took some fabulous pics at Indy (5th row  :roll:  : ).  Check with her and I'm sure she will be posting some soon as well.  I have saved a couple for myself of hers.  If my photobucket will open, I'll post one here!  LOL

Ok, well, I need to reboot for it to open.  I'll post mine later if she doesn't.

ttyl,
Angela

Hello all, I cannot believe that we are in session 7. It seems like only a few weeks ago that I found this wonderful thread. I have made so many new and wonderful friends. I love the OCD.  It is so amazing to me how so many of us have so much in common. I feel like I have know so many of you all my life. I have not met anyone face to face, yet I feel like I know you better than I do people I have know for years. There is a bond here that just is hard to describe--We have laughed together and we have cried together as well as we have prayed together, so we are family. I am so thankful for each of you and I cannot wait to next April to give each of you that hug I send to you each night.   Hugs to you, JJ- Joyce

I just had to post on the new session - We keep getting bigger and better with each session.  

Her - I know when Boca comes home , she will post a special prayer for you.  In the meantime, please, please call on any of us that you feel comfortable with.  If you want to talk, we'll listen, if you want to cry, we'll be silent while you do, if you need encouragement, we'll say the words you need to hear.  Just always remember, we are here and you will never be alone.  

I loved your post at the beginning of this session and the beautiful quotes from some of our friends.  Thank you.

AC - you always have the right words.  Bless you.

Pepe - Had to join you over here.  Couldn't leave you without telling you again what a wonderful friend you are.

Once again, Hugs to all, Evelyn

Session 7!  Wow, I am very moved.  To see the paragraphs of thankfulness from each of us is heart wrenching.  Who would have thought at this point of our lives, we would find the most wonderful people in our lives to love, laugh and be sad with.  I feel so lucky!!!!!!!!!!!  Hugs to all of you, my Claymaniac crazy friends.  I love you all!!!
