What’s the relationship? Schizophrenics tend to be skittish. OCD is a biproduct of that. We also smoke more than the average shmoe.

Zyprexa causes OCD in me. In a way the meds causes mental illness with it’s side effects, but I guess going without causes a more serious form of illness.

I have borderline out of control OCD.

The anxiety I get from that is far worse than any ritual or symptom of schizophrenia.

If I could remove one factor from my life it would be the OCD.

The anxiety would go away with that.

I can handle Satan following me around,

But OCD is ■■■■■■■■.
