    Any advice for stress and OCD. I am considering leaving high school due to the stress I'm going through.
    Is there something particular that is causing this stress or it this just some general malaise?

    • Quid claimed that it was due to a lack of trust in God.  That shows he knows nothing about it.

    People with OCD are plagued with obsessive, recurring, intrusive thoughts.  One example is about whether or not they turned off the oven, or locked the door.  And it's not due to short-term memory issues.  They could clearly remember locking the door, but still not be "sure" about it.  This isn't about confidence in God, but about confidence in self.  Or another OCD person might wash his hands over and over again because he's not sure that he got everything.  I knew a Traditional priest once who was diagnosed with OCD, who repeated the words of consecration over and over and over again, because he was never quite sure he got them right so as to make it valid.

    You've obviously never heard of intervals, sprints, high threshhold, and high intensity training on long climbs which is done with jogging and cycling.

    That's because they lack trust in the Lord God giving them the aptitude to do these simple tasks with certainty. They lack faith in the Lord God providing security to the person, which is why they repeatedly do the same maneuvers over and over (checking to make sure the oven is turned off or the door is locked).

    Learn how to think.

    Well, under those conditions, jogging is no longer light exercise, as he had described it.  By adding the intensity of long climbs, you're changing the nature of the exercise by increasing the heart rate.

    No, it's because they have lowered levels of serotonin.

    That's something very alien to you, isn't it?

    Lack of healthy fats in your diet is causing your brain to malfunction.

    No, lack of sugar in your diet (and effeminacy) has caused you to be irascible and your brain to work at substandard levels.

    By your sugar-deprived "logic", you blame lack of serotonin, dopamine, and other brain chemicals for committing sin.

    We shouldn't be surprised because you, also, emphatically stated "God isn't a Catholic God" some time ago. Utter heresy.

    • Some posters have recommended taking the GED and leaving school. GEDs are practically worthless unless you also have at least an AA. I know, I got one when I had to leave school to care for my elderly relatives. They are supposedly equal to a high school diploma, but in reality, employers don't take them seriously. Others I know who got them found out the same. Barely better than being a drop-out, and I scored in the 99th percentile. The only thing they're good for is meeting the criteria for enrolling in community college while still a minor. Look into things deeply before you decide to opt for a GED.

    Another example of how your diet has compromised your brain.

    Since when does being nervous and anxious about whether you locked the door constitute sin?

    What I said was that this can in fact be understood in a true sense.  But, then, you clearly know nothing of Catholic philosophy.  God Himself is not Catholic, i.e. the subject of the term Catholic, since God is pure existence without essence and cannot be defined that way.  But it's false in the other sense, that He is not the God OF Catholics, the object of Catholic.  But I might as well be writing Mandarin Chinese when discussing such things with the likes of yourself.

    Strawman.

    Yep, you need sugar. Too much fat has clogged your arteries, thus, restricted blood flow to your brain, and you're in short supply of the brain's must essential fuel - glucose (sugar).

    God has an essence - Truth, Love, Holiness, Omnipotence. The Catholic Faith is a reflection of His Essence because it's the only Faith that contains the holiness and truth of God. God is Catholic. If He wasn't Catholic, He never would have given His children the Faith as the ONLY conduit to Him. You make no sense. Your stubborn pride only digs yourself into a deeper hole. Just concede your error and heresy, punk.

    Lame attempt at trying to save face. Failed spin.

    • Ladislaus attempts to excuse irrational behavior ("OCD") by blaming it on a low levels of serotonin. This isn't any different than blaming sin NOT on free will, wickedness and poor character, but rather blaming the sin on irregular levels of a brain's chemistry which, de facto, would disqualify the transgression from being an actual sin.
