Symptoms included suckling of wounds, compulsive eating of hair and nails and skin (trichophagia) and the licking of flesh and face.
(words by Johanna Bommelin)
as in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
every summer my fingers and lips are black from eating sunflower seeds;
I mutilate minimum two sunflowers a day;
when I start I can't be stopped until I finish;
I do share with others, unless they try to pick the seeds in an unorderly manner, of course;
mostly they resign before they start, seeing this special look in my eyes, the eternal struggle between being kind and being... myself.

Compulsive hoarding (or pathological hoarding or disposophobia) is the excessive acquisition of possessions (and failure to use or discard them), even if the items are worthless, hazardous, or unsanitary. Compulsive hoarding impairs mobility and interferes with basic activities, including cooking, cleaning, showering, and sleeping. A person who engages in compulsive hoarding is commonly said to be a "pack rat", in reference to that animal's characteristic hoarding.
It is not clear whether compulsive hoarding is an isolated disorder, or rather a symptom of another condition, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder.
According to Sanjaya Saxena, MD, director of the Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders Program at the University of California, San Diego, compulsive hoarding in its worst forms can cause fires, unclean conditions (e.g. rat and roach infestations), injuries from tripping on clutter and other health and safety hazards. The hoarder may mistakenly believe that the hoarded items are very valuable, or the hoarder may know that the accumulated items are useless, or may attach a strong personal value to items which they recognize would have little or no value to others. A hoarder of the first kind may show off a cutlery set claiming it to be made of silver and mother-of-pearl, disregarding the fact that the packaging clearly states the cutlery is made of steel and plastic. A hoarder of the second type may have a refrigerator filled with uneaten food items months past their expiration dates, but in some cases would vehemently resist any attempts from relatives to dispose of the unusable food. In other cases the hoarder will recognize the need to clean the refrigerator, but due (in part) to feelings that doing so would be an exercise in futility, and overwhelmed by the similar condition of the rest of their living space, fails to do so.
People who hoard often don't see it as a problem, making treatment challenging. But intensive treatment can help people who hoard understand their compulsions and live a safer, more enjoyable life.

I'm not sure that men in long dresses fawning over an almost naked child is an appropriate image for public display.
A bunch of dudes from the cloud project showed up, and proceeded to have a cloud team meeting on the couch at great length! I was at first inspired by their work ethic, and then inspired to do whatever I could to get the members of the team circulating with other party guests.
Obsessive Compulsive Strange Thoughts of Life & Existentialism
A film about a man with a very serious problem. A man who sometimes forgets where he is and has obsessive strange thoughts about life and existentialism which usually comes out of nowhere.
He starts to panic because he doesn’t understand what is happening to him. He is also afraid to go to sleep at night because he believes he won’t wake up. He ponders how strange life is that he exists.
After he left the military and the 2001 attacks, the man now identified as Ping Pong, sees life like something out of a bad horror movie. He needs to go to sleep but knows what is coming. He starts freaking out.
Evidence points to him having a mild dissociative condition, possibly related to stressful conditions he encountered and an underlying anxiety disorder plus the Chinese made medications he is taking and the lack of true wonder “recreational drugs”.
Life to him is really strange and odd but most people around him don’t notice this because they remain deeply embedded in American culture which encourages it’s citizens to focus on mundane things such as watching television and the grim reality of providing for one’s own family by getting ahead in a dead-end job.
After graduating from Harvard University, Ping Pong realizes that thoughtfulness in the USA is not encouraged and neither is noticing the strangeness and arbitrariness of life by frightening people so he does not get noticed or labeled as odd or mentally ill.
He seeks a different way to cope so he becomes a photographer and writes comments about his subjects which interacts with his artwork.
His dissociation is a mental phenomena in how attention, memory, and emotions work in the form of “spacing out”, so he decides to become an astronaut in China’s new space program after being influenced by Neil Armstrong and Navin Johnson.... BUT in fact it turned out that he had been a gifted and talented child raised in a classless society which turned him to experience a type of depression referred to as existential depression.
Existential depression is a depression that arises when an individual confronts certain basic issues of existence such as the four issues--death, freedom, isolation and meaninglessness.
Humans do not enter a world which is inherently structured but given a world structure created by other humans. And most of these humans are messed up.
Isolation is not possible on earth and existential concerns occur disproportionately among gifted persons, because gifted people as idealists are able to consider how things should be, however, they see the world is falling into how it should not be.
Ping Pong becomes disassociated, disappointed, and frustrated when such ideals are not reached. He notices the inconsistencies and absurdities in society and the behaviors of those around them. Traditions are ultimately questioned and challenged.
When he shares these concerns with others, he usually met with reactions ranging from puzzlement to hostility. He attempts to find some sense of meaning to grasp and pull himself out of the mire of "unfairness”, acutely aware that his life is finite and brief, and that he is alone as one small organism in a quite large world, and that there is a frightening freedom regarding how one chooses to live one's life in an absurd, arbitrary, and capricious world where his life will have little impact and then die.
Breaking the "failure to thrive" syndrome came with no need for daily hugs or physical connection. Just apeirophobia: the fear of eternity and knowing everything will be wiped out.
He had forgotten due to having to pay for his phone and cable bill why he was here and that it was all a waste of time. The most important question was to make the most of what he has. How was he going to go about given his developed talents and time spent would make the difference.
Looking back on his life on board the new and improved Chinese space ship, “Firecracker”, right before blast-off, sitting alongside fellow astronauts, Clink Clack, Pritt Pratt, and Charlie Chan, he regrets his former life and time spent on earth, but now not the past, nor the future, but now, everything will have a massive effect on what happens later knowing that nothing easy is going to make him happy. Anything that is worth it in life is never going to be easy. He dismisses existential questioning because it will only waste the time he has left to live his life as a true space cadet basically ignoring Aristotle for Confucianism …
He believed that it was cool to reflect the principles upon which the United States was founded, especially after men from earth walked on the moon.
He believed in cultural and ethnic diversity, the free exchange of creative ideas, and an entrepreneurial spirit that lifts all citizens in a community.
He believed it was cool to welcome and celebrate a diversity of visitors, the way Provincetown, Massachusetts, has been welcoming LGBTQ+ travelers for decades.
He believed it was cool to live in harmony with nature, the way Pacific Grove, California, became Butterfly Town USA and Saranac Lake, New York, and its neighboring towns in Adirondack State Park have pursued a sustainable tourism industry that respects the region’s pristine lakes and mountains and rips off dumb-ass tourists.
He believed it was cool to live in a community where he would be able to boast of a vibrant downtown, with cutting-edge cuisine, and a community spirit that makes visitors feel like friends, as all the towns on the 'A' list do while paying high property taxes for the liberal schools who house the children of illegal immigrants who have never paid taxes so they can learn to be either good sheep or cattle..
He was no longer Ping Pong but now known as Ding Dong to the men at space command back on earth, believing to himself he would create such a life beyond Pluto reflecting upon his favorite american movies, "It's a Wonderful Life" & "The Best Years of Our Lives".
