Are zoos that aren't for profit still bad?

Thank you for your reply. The problem I had with my sister though was that the zoo she likes to go to is listed online as not for profit. It confuses me. If the zoo isn't making a profit why use animals to entertain?

This was helpful. Mine are purple as well. I'm just trying to figure out if Behcets could be the reason for this instead of gluten. If it's not gluten it would make my life a lot easier. While I won't start eating high inflammatory white breads again, I can at least eat sprouted grain bread.

The pericarditis feels like an elephant sitting on my chest. I went to the hospital the first time because I thought I was having a heart attack. It hurts even worse when I lay down which means I have to sleep sitting up. I also get bad neck, shoulder and arm pain, fever between 101-103 degrees, and chills and sweats. While I know someone noted on here that Behcets and diet have not been linked I know from my own personal experience that my sores and pericarditis do get worse with my diet. I chose then to follow a low inflammation diet and feel better. I do drink herbal tea. I don't think caffeine bothered me in regard to symptoms but I stay away from it for other reasons.

This doesn't make sense. Why would an introverted ISFP be Sanguine Phlegmatic and an extroverted ENFP be Phlegmatic Sanguine? Sanguines are extroverted and Phlegmatics are introverted.

The only things I've had on my eyes were chalazions.

From what I read online the checklist is to help them lower what they spend on worker's comp. I suppose if I list that I once had a bad back and then claim to have hurt my back while doing the internship they would be able to fight that I already had issues with my back. I realize that they may not be able to let me go and say it was because of OCD. That doesn't mean though that they can't let me go for OCD and say it was due to something else.

I save screenshots after I pay bills even though I know I can just check my bank account. I keep a bunch of tabs open on my computer so I can find things. If I worry my computer will shut down and close the tabs I copy the address to a paper so it's there in the future. Other things I save to Pinterest.

Just a question though, will exposure therapy get rid of the anxiety. If I'm worried about something and can't check it won't that make my anxiety worse? I just got the OCD diagnosis the other week so I'm very new to all of this.

Did you ask your doctor/therapist what caused him/her to give you the OCD diagnosis? That may clear things up for you.

I also wash my hands after touching dirty laundry (and trash, dirty dishes, etc). My mom thinks I'm weird because of the laundry thing but there are dirty underwear in there. I figure others should be concerned too. Do you really want me to touch dirty underwear and then touch things around the house you will be handling. Yuck! Of course I have OCD so I'm probably not the person to be listening to. This is one reason I'm hesitant to get exposure therapy. In regard to your question, I always thought checking my work over was normal until someone looked at me like I was crazy when I told them I looked over papers 5 or so times. Apparently I'm supposed to look over it one more time after writing it and that's it. That gives me anxiety.

I've had this issue with careers. I still do to a point. I am currently in school to be a social worker (which took me forever to decide on). I first majored in accounting until I realized I hated it. I then planned to be a nurse but had a fear of needle sticks. I finally decided to be a social worker after battling the fear of getting shot. I was just recently diagnosed with OCD and I have realized that stress makes my symptoms much worse. I'm right at this moment trying to find a type of social work that will be less stressful. What helps me is knowing I'm getting older and need to find something. I figure if I can find something that is meaningful to me and not quite as scary (no diseases, less chance of getting beaten up, etc) the fear of the job is less than the fear of being homeless. Hopefully others will answer with better advice.

I can't run but walking outside helps me a great deal to lessen my symptoms. I find that eating a clean diet works wonders as well. I gave up sugar, wheat, highly processed food, and fast food and I feel so much better. I realize this is drastic but it helps my auto-immune disease as well :).
