Please be nice!!! I need help

A: There is a difference if you have to count those lines because you need to or you want to count those line for any reasons like out of boredom. Which ones is it?Do you feel you have to do certain things over and over again to a certain point until you can go on with life? People who have OCD doesn’t enjoy doing these tedious things. No one wants to repeat steps over and over again because it is is fun, it is more time wasting. Are you counting lines for fun or repeating the same activites over and over again because you want to not because you feel you have to?People with OCD feel they must and have to repeat or count the same things is because they feel more secured if they do so.Playing mind games with yourself seems harmless, you are not compelled to repeat or count only if you wanted to.

Q: I have suffered from o.c.d, panic attacks, anxiety and phobias for all of my adult life-I am 42.It has been worse since I stopped smoking 9 months ago but I have dealt with that in a seperate question.What are the best methods of treating these things? Which drugs/therapies/treatments are most successful. I have tried so many things-I am at the end of my tether!

A: I have OCD also. The thing that is helping me the most (i’ve gone through a huge change and improvement) is medication, therapy, and counseling. I take Zoloft, prescribed to me by a doctor. This helps both my depression and OCD. My counselor is helping me learn ways to fight off the thoughts in OCD, how to fight ‘Mr. Bad’ as I call my OCD. Give a name for your OCD, maybe someone you dislike. It’s what my counselor told me to do. It gives you a face to fight. Also, think of seeing a therapist or psychiatrist. Personally, I like my counselor better. Hope I helped, and good luck.

Q: Are there software o/c solutions available or another way to boost the speed of the processor besides possibly flashing the bios

A: You can’t overclock Dell PC’s unless you have their XPS line of Desktops where they usually overclock them for you. It also voids your warranty if you do figure out how to get around the BIOS lock but I haven’t heard of anyway to do this yet. Hope this helps.
