I agree with Cookey, reaction by individuals can vary greatly.

My anger did not last long and I basically blamed myself for not being more diligent leading up to my diagnosis. Which seems all too common with OC, sad but true. Maybe I should have seen a professional but it's not in my genes to do so and I like to believe sooner or later I come to my senses. I do like to reflect on different life matters and when I do that I like to do it my way. Anger has never really been an issue with me...I view it as a waste of time that hinders oneself including hurting those around us. Negativity breeds negativity and that can be dangerous.


Although, I do believe that research and documenting history of anything is extremely important.
