I’m a total control freak and it keeps me well. Whether its my weight or my meds I like to keep things in order or I go a little crazy. I eat separately from my family for that reason. I don’t miss out on social occasions however, I consider those good for me.

I hadn’t thought about it before but I definitely have control freak tendencies.

No, not really. I have nothing left to control. Only thing I worry about controlling is spontaneity.

no not really…there isn’t much room for being a control freak over here…low money is the control factor in my life…I control what we spend the money on, but that’s about it.

My husband definitely controls everything. I try not to be controlling. Just feel like I’m missing out.

Does farming help you any? Why would you give it up?

I’m a control freak about how I spend my time. I definitely try to minimize time spent on activities that contribute to stress.

I am paranoid about not having thought broadcasting episodes. I feel mindraped every time it happens, so I neurotically minimize the situations that they can happen.

That’s true. When I get like that I try to minimize contact with others. But I’m feeling great right now and I want to do things while I’m sane, somewhat healthy, and ok. Ya know?

I definitely used to be. Eating disorders are all about control when you feel you have no control over most other areas of your life. I used to have bulimia.

I also like to minimise stress in my life. I hate surprise visits and need at least a day’s notice to psyche myself up and prepare for it.

We have a new disability support scheme here in OZ. It is all about people with disabilities being able to choose and direct their own care. In other words taking control of their own treatment. It’s great.

I kinda weigh up the pros and cons as I go along but right now there’s more cons considering my health and the possible legal proceedings against me in the future
