> The damnable thing about OCD is that a little is very valuable in my regular line of work (medicine). Without it I wouldn't be as careful, I don't think. It means it won't let me take shortcuts and it forces me to be thorough, and that's a very good thing in that business.
That's a really interesting take on the positive aspects of OCD and one that's not often discussed. Thanks for sharing. :)
There are a few famous athletes who've said similar things. Ray Allen was an NBA player known for having a beautiful, textbook-perfect jump shot and eventually setting the NBA record for three-pointers. He credits a good portion of this to his own OCD, which compelled him to repeatedly drill the motion beyond reason.
