Not sure who all would be interested in this, but I thought I'd point it out.

Tomorrow night, a show called Obsessed (about OCD) premiers. I saw the 'sneak peaks' they were showing and the preview. Seems pretty interesting.

Anyways, a link for the show: http://www.aetv.com/obsessed/

Wait a minute, I just read the description, and...



I thought it was just about OCD.

So, I guess it'd appeal to more people.


The preview for the alarm clock episode upset me. Don't even get me started with alarm clocks. Hate them. I'm so paranoid that I'll set the time wrong, or set it to pm while it needs to be am.

Take like 10 minutes just to make sure it's set right. What a waste of time.

Anyways, yeah. Looks like a good show.

-Stops rambling-

Interesting
Then again...unless it's a stupid reality show or a random sitcom, we won't get it in Sweden
Do you know if the full episodes will be viewable online?
*goes to the site*

Hmm if you click "video" it says "Watch full episodes of your favorite A&E shows". But when the video player is done loading, it comes up with an error. Am I the only one getting this problem?
Might just be viewable in the US or something.

The videos work for me. So, it's probably just viewable to the US/Canada.

I missed your other post!



You might be able to find them. Not sure really. Like I said, it's just premiering, so you won't find anything now.



Oh shush. Jealousy isn't flattering.

Considering I can't watch the videos, finding them won't really make much of a difference


*envy

Lies.

I'll... write you descriptions of all the episodes, ok?



Less flattering.

I stumbled on this today. I don't normally watch TV much but my husband had it on and I saw something about exposure and then wanted to check it out. The therapists were over at the clients houses which I found interesting. Since I have such a big positive transference thing going for my therapist I must say I am truly happy he does not come over to my house! All in all though I thought the show was okay. I could definitely relate to the SUDS levels going up and then down when they were doing their exposure. Michele

I am really enjoying this show. It's not triggering for me but instead comforting. This show is really good in that it shows the realities of OCD, esp. how much anxiety it produces. I hope people gain a true perception of OCD, not just what the media makes it out to be.

I hope to continue watching. I won't be able to watch next week's episode, but I hope I can catch it on the A&E website.

Yeah, it's kind of scary how the therapists go all out like that, eh? They really get involved in the whole process, rather than just telling the patient which steps to take. Which, is obviously a good thing, but it'd be scary at the same time.



OCD's just become a 'fad' of sorts. I once had someone trying to tell me that they had 'OCD' towards a celebrity. If looks could kill...


Anyways, they showed the premier episode again tonight and I decided to watch it (I missed it the first time around). I like what the guy said about people with OCD being lonely. That there's not enough room in our little boxes to let anyone else in. I guess that pertains to a lot of the issues discussed on this forum. Anyways, it just sort of hit home. Got me thinking a bit, which is never a good thing.

Good episode though.

I liked the premier episode, and I esp. too liked what Scott said at the end about the loneliness. It was very touching and hit home for me.

Does anyone know if last Monday's (June 22nd) episode was a re-run or a new one?

The new season for Obsessed starts this Monday. The 'sneak peek' they showed made me cry. Someone mentioned that the guy with OCD was being selfish. I guess it just offended me a bit. Since I've been called self involved and what not a lot as a result of my OCD.

The commercial for the show also drives me mad. How they have the voice counting in the background. I hate how you can watch something like that and totally relate to it. I think that's why I have trouble watching it. Although I'm not as bad as a majority of those people, I'm bad enough.

I do plan on trying to watch it though. Until I get fed up and change the channel.
