However, i have taken books out of the library and noticed they have other people's names crossed out inside the cover. So they seem to be taking donations (or shopping at a used book store???)Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17182813079850508907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910527796780560606.post-86696590327836588382012-01-12T20:07:21.956-05:002012-01-12T20:07:21.956-05:00Unfortunately when it didn't work today (again...Unfortunately when it didn't work today (again) i wasn't too keen on grading myself because then i'd be peeved at myself for doing better than 0, even tho it was still not perfect, because i guess i WANTED to have the pity party i was taking. :PKarinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17182813079850508907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910527796780560606.post-49178157698982281812012-01-12T20:00:21.317-05:002012-01-12T20:00:21.317-05:00Well i'm more perfectionistic than i want to a...Well i'm more perfectionistic than i want to admit, but i'm trying to look at things differently :) <br /><br />I looked up Traig's book on Goodreads and it seems like people either really like it and think it's really funny or they really dislike it and think it's too repetative. I think i may have to use interlibrary loan to get this one too!Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17182813079850508907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910527796780560606.post-2591376198366889792012-01-12T10:57:57.659-05:002012-01-12T10:57:57.659-05:00You might want to talk to someone at the library a...You might want to talk to someone at the library as I'm not sure how they feel about taking donations. I've heard that donated books end up on the 'for sale' tables rather than in the library collections.<br /><br />And I think you deserve more than 7/10 for getting clothes on the bottom of the machine because you only touch the towel and presumably there were several other items in the load. Now, if there were 10 items that would make 9/10, so unless it was a small load, you should give yourself more points for that.<br /><br />Brilliant idea though, grading yourself - it's a way of showing how well you're doing while accepting that there's still room for improvement and not making everything an 'all or nothing' situation.Jess Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910527796780560606.post-34039118178645726082012-01-11T21:36:49.602-05:002012-01-11T21:36:49.602-05:00I don't think I've heard of Jennifer Traig...I don't think I've heard of Jennifer Traig's book before.

I think what'...Really like your scoring system! I think what's best about that is that you acknowledged the successful part of your ERP. I think that's very important. I absolutely LOVE Jeff Bell's book, Rewind, Repeat, Replay. In my opinion, the very best memoir. I also asked some family members to read it so they would understand OCD better. It did help them. Grayson's book is also excellent, really helpful w/ERPs. I have recommended both books several times. When I first started CBT I read everything I could get my hands on about OCD. Pretty much still do. What a wonderful idea to share them with others!71º & Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09981113989131619635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910527796780560606.post-3032006077975291422012-01-11T20:57:49.758-05:002012-01-11T20:57:49.758-05:00Love the way you did the math!

Part of it is I kind of wanted to ignore the OCD for a long time. But I have read a lot about the disorder itself, and I think others would like having the opportunity to learn more from books. I have a Nook, but I love "real" books too.Tina Fariss Barbourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15659018994558471570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910527796780560606.post-7238629760871981042012-01-11T19:39:03.383-05:002012-01-11T19:39:03.383-05:00I like how you graded your erp. :)

I would suspect that a good number of people with OCD do research the disorder, perhaps even to the point of approaching compulsive status (i.e, do I really have OCD? Is such-and-such a worry an indication of a big problem, or just OCD?).<br />One I liked was "Devil in the Details: Scenes from an Obsessive Girlhood" by Jennifer Traig. More for the common experience than for it being a success story. I like paper books and don't have a kindle.Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12051102407708751849noreply@blogger.com
