Visible to anyone in the world

Three days locked out of my OU web page, all because I am a muppet when it comes to tech, I thought my password was OK, apparently the OU thought that it wasn't, so as you know we had to change our password, nether the less. My EUPD (Emotional Unstable Personality Disorder) and CPTSD (Complexed Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) have an affect on my ability to cope with change, any change, big or small, direct or in-direct, self inflicted or from external forces, its proven itself to me that anything that goes against the habitual nature of my life, my patterns and routines, can have an affect which is quite bewildering at times, I crave structure, routine and balance. Although I have not been diagnosed with OCD or OID, I do share lots of symptoms that are similar to those who have issues with OCD and OID. Its rare for me to label it as 'bewildering' as it can become a stigma that is unnecessarily attached to something that has a logical and rational explanation. I have to try very hard to accept my disorders as rational, logical and are totally understandable given the circumstances, the other option is to internalise my thoughts , feelings and emotions and ridicule myself with names such as, freak, wired, out cast, odd bod etc etc. Now i can get back to my studies with a clear head. Just writing this blog has given me a head ache, so the actual event can take days away from me. So, all in all, everything is fine now and I am grateful that things are not a whole lot worse.
