This A Proud Bacterium

Be nice to me

This is a living thing

Not wood

No doormat

I come from

 Earth’s crust

In the cold and dark deep

Beneath Antarctic Ice

This is  a bacterium

Be kind to me

I ‘m no frog

Not your slave  

No pothead

No housewife

This is this is

No lowly yeast from Somali

No  cockrochian gene

This a proud bacterium

 Please my friend

Blame me not

This is no white nor black

Only half human

This beautiful grey

I weigh 200 g

Blame me not

For Hiroshima nor 911

I’m you

You not me

You changed a lot

Too smart

Too many lies

I detest Darwin

This a grey bacterium

                    How Obssesive Traits Make You Tired

  

Stress is anything that bothers you.

   Bad news, rejection , excessive  noise , heat ,pain or dirty surroundings may  disturb us.. Unfortunately , some of us with OCD traits  are more easily bothered  by  less than a perfect world. Low energy and  fatigue  may be an indirect consequence of  this OCD trait .

    It seems that two brain dynamics- a strong desire to remain in control and heightened sensitivity to sensory input- may explain fatigue.

   Not taming perfectionistic  traits may also lead to  stress. And, here comes a painful paradox: A loved one may be blamed  for causing  stress  because he or she would be viewed as creating dirt, clutter or a big mess  .

     Naturally, if a loved one is less than perfect , stress level  would be  greater.  The bigger the psychological deficits of a loved one , the greater  the stress endured by a person with OCD traits.

   Science says, OCD traits are controlled by serotonin -dopamine balance . When prefrontal cortex is laboring hard to tame a hyper active monkey brain, eventually fatigue comes from a dopamine depleted brain.

   To normalize   brain serotonin dopamine balance problem solving , physical fitness, antioxidants and medications  maybe of great help.
