OCD - Emma from Glee

Emma from Glee, has OCD and this video is my take on it.

I loved Michael J Fox's character who had OCD when he was on the show Scrubs. It was this scene that helped me figure out I had OCD.

Remember OCD is not who you are. Take care.

I'm curious Julia--what did you think of Monk?

[ocddiary]

@stfupDonny never actually seen it. what do you think of it?

@ocddiary It's not a bad show. They kind of use OCD for comedic effect, which is a bit annoying, but there are heartbreaking moments which Tony Shaloub plays really well. The sincere moments kind of redeem it.

@ocddiary How's Kurt complex? He's a stereotype so you know he's gay as soon as you hear/see him. They've just taken a stereotype and made them into something enjoyable to watch. Emma's orderliness is so adorable.

Also, I've always though Emma had anxiety issues and looked upset, but you'd be right about how accurate it is because I don't know much about OCD.

I totally agree with you on these two points, When I saw The episode I was confused, I've only recently started watching glee, but the way Emma is portrayed is very... half an effort like someone has had their own perception of what OCD is and that is it, I was very disappointed, I just feel like if they take a condition like this on at least show what the feelings behind it are, and with Michael J's character was a brilliant way of showing he reminded me of myself and how my OCD affects my life

@ocddiary That's so strange Julia, I saw it last night and today it's gone off your wall. I'm really concerned with how Youtube is handling spam, it's overreacting big time. :S I'll send to your e-mail. Too bad more people won't see it, though you might be able to add the link in your video description of your schrooms experience if you find it useful to share! :)
