The latest in the affirmation posts =]
Mar. 4th, 2010 12:51 pmOCD is really bad today, blah, right smack in the middle of my vacation. You know who has really helped me out with that in the past? ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
v0idnull. This reminds me--he was to be the next subject of my affirmation posts. :)
So I've known Alex for about 5 years now, we met through a mutual friend. We have a lot in common in the sci-fi department...and the MUSIC department. He's one of the only people I know who I can have music discussions with. Like me, he plays the piano (only a BILLION times better than I ever could) and this past summer he played me one of the BSG themes when I was over at his place and it was just awesome.
Although we've known each other for awhile I'd have to say we only started getting a lot closer this past year. Last winter/spring he would come over every Friday for BSG nights, and it was a lot of fun. But mostly, I have so many fun memories from past summer, like getting drunk and watching lightning from his 14th floor apartment, listening to him play the piano like I mentioned above, and drunkenly listening to BSG music on each other's ipods while sitting around on the St-Sulpice terrace. OMG SO MUCH FUN.
As I mentioned at the start of this post,v0idnull has helped me at times when I've felt really, REALLY low from OCD or depression. He's said all kinds of really inspiring and helpful things--the keyword here is HELPFUL--that have stuck in my mind and have helped me out at certain times when I've felt particularly crappy. He's no psychiatrist but to say he's helped me out a lot is a bit of an understatement. He'll not only listen endlessly but he'll offer pretty awesome insight for someone who doesn't even know what it's like to have OCD. He can also be a very comforting person to be around, and to be honest, he's one of the ONLY people (aside from Mike, obviously) whom I feel comfortable actually talking about my OCD or depression to. I can't explain why. I don't KNOW why. I just trust him 110% with these kinds of things.
I really appreciate all that he's done and I don't know how to emphasize that enough, so an affirmation post will have to do for now.
Also: lol.
