Gue? Obsessive Compulsive Disorder?


Well, mungkin itu cuma ungkapan rasa bosen dari seseorang teman (yang gak pantas dan gak penting untuk disebutkan namanya) soal rencana2 trip gue ke jepang. Gue rasa dia terlalu melebih2 kan. Mmmmm .. tapi ... jangan2 ... apa mungkin dia bener? Hmmm, ayo deh kita bahas lebih lanjut.

Barusan nyontek di Wiki soal definisinya :

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a psychiatric anxiety disorder most commonly characterized by a subject's obsessive , distressing , intrusive thoughts and related compulsions (tasks or " rituals") which attempt to neutralize the obsessions.

The phrase "obsessive-compulsive" has worked its way into the wider English lexicon, and is often used in an offhand manner to describe someone who is meticulous or absorbed in a cause (see also "anal-retentive"). Such casual references should not be confused with obsessive-compulsive disorder; see clinomorphism. It is also important to distinguish OCD from other types of anxiety, including the routine tension and stress that appear throughout life. Although these signs are often present in OCD, a person who shows signs of infatuation or fixation with a subject/object, or displays traits such as perfectionism, does not necessarily have OCD, a specific and well-defined condition.

To be diagnosed with Obsessive-compulsive disorder, one must have either obsessions or compulsions alone, or obsessions and compulsions, according to the DSM-IV-TR diagnostic criteria. The Quick Reference to the diagnostic criteria from DSM-IV-TR (2000) describes these obsessions and compulsions:[1]

Obsessions are defined by:

  1. Recurrent and persistent thoughts, impulses, or images that are experienced at some time during the disturbance, as intrusive and inappropriate and that cause marked anxiety or distress.
  2. The thoughts, impulses, or images are not simply excessive worries about real-life problems.
  3. The person attempts to ignore or suppress such thoughts, impulses, or images, or to neutralize them with some other thought or action.
  4. The person recognizes that the obsessional thoughts, impulses, or images are a product of his or her own mind, and are not based in reality.
  5. The tendency to haggle over small details that the viewer is unable to fix or change in any way. This begins a mental pre-occupation with that which is inevitable.

Compulsions are defined by:

  1. Repetitive behaviors or mental acts that the person feels driven to perform in response to an obsession, or according to rules that must be applied rigidly.
  2. The behaviors or mental acts are aimed at preventing or reducing distress or preventing some dreaded event or situation; however, these behaviors or mental acts either are not connected in a realistic way with what they are designed to neutralize or prevent or are clearly excessive.

In addition to these criteria, at some point during the course of the disorder, the sufferer must realize that his/her obsessions or compulsions are unreasonable or excessive. Moreover, the obsessions or compulsions must be time-consuming (taking up more than one hour per day), cause distress, or cause impairment in social, occupational , or school functioning. [1] OCD often causes feelings similar to those of depression.


Hehehehe .. kagak ngerti gue. Bahasa definisi mengingatkan gue akan bahasa polis (yups, gue kerja di industri asuransi) yang njelimet dan muter2 gak keruan. Gini deh, kita ambil intinya aja.

Emang seh rencana gue buat menengok negeri asalnya Rurouni Kenshin tuh dah menggebu2 banget. Udah matang, tanak bahkan hampir kadaluarsa. Tapi yah masalahnya ada di bagian yang klasik. Dana, rupiah, yen dalam artian uang. Jadi, siapa kah yang mau berbaik hati untuk membiayai perjalanan impian gue? Ayo jangan malu2, tunjuk tangan dong ..

Hmm balik ke statement temen gue, dan mengacu pada definisi OCD ... ternyata gue blom (halah, kayak pengen aja) termasuk dalam kriteria OCD. Obsessive iya, tapi gak sampe OCD lah .. ^^ (klo Mr. Monk, nah itu baru lah contoh OCD yg bener)

Jadi, OCD? Gak deh ... Hihihihihihi ...

Rafting di Sungai Cisadane

Jumat-Sabtu kemaren, kantor ngadain 'outing wanna be' di Lido, Sukabumi.
Kenapa wanna be? Karena emang maksa. Kenapa maksa? Karena emang tipikal kantor gue begitu. Hehehe bingung yah?

Jadi gini loh, di kantor2 laen yang normal dan wajar, yg namanya outing itu kan kegiatan di luar kantor yang dimaksudkan untuk me-refresh-kan karyawannya. Jadi itu acara seneng2, jalan2 bareng.
Nah di kantor gue mah aneh. Salah satu acara utama di outing adalah ... WORKSHOP (jreng .. jreng ..)
Yg ada bukan nya jadi fresh, tapi malah jadi pusing. Menyebalkan.

Balik ke topik lagi, setelah berpusing2 ria di workshop, akhirnya ada acara petualangannya (halah, serasa Riani Jangkaru). Rafting. Family trip. Yup gak salah ketik. F A M I L Y T R I P. Memalukan? Emang. Tapi we have no choice since the workshop was ended right before lunch time. And after lunch time the only package that availabe was family trip. The trip which save enough for 7 years old kid!
But it's okay, I had so many (not many actually) fun.

Secara ini kedua kali nya gue berafting ria, gue dah punya persiapan. Antara lain nge-booking mbak Isah, tukang pijet langganan, untuk datang ke rumah. Pegel2 itu dah pasti deh!

Gue juga jadi bisa bikin perbandingan. Ternyata sungai cisadane kalah jauh ama sungai cicatih. Bahkan operator di cicatih juga lebih profesional (baca : peralatan rafting nya lebih terawat).

Tapi perbandingan gue belom lengkap karena gue blom pernah rafting di sungai citarik.
Jadi tujuan selanjutnya adalah .. RAFTING DI CITARIK!
Mau ikutan? Hyuukk ...


Hmmm ...

Hmmm ... nulis apa yaa?
