Living as an empathetic person in today’s world is fraught with pain and tension. Empathy means to ‘feel with.’ To identify so deeply with the suffering of another being, that you become immersed in their pain. It seems noble. It feels like an effective method, I mean, it is good to acknowledge the pain of others. It is nice to let them know you see their suffering.

My Rocks Amidst the Hard Places

The need to confess...
One of the most aggravating aspects of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), is the compulsion to confess. I might imagine that I have said or done something to offend a friend, or a stranger. I might imagine that I have broken the law, or forgotten to turn off my oven before leaving the house, or any of a hundred and one different scenarios my mind can conjure up. All tailor-made to drive me to distraction.
