    Superstition with Numbers

    There are quite a few numbers that I am superstitious about, in terms of good and bad luck. I'm wondering if it's OCD-related. First of all, I heard 13 was considered unlucky. It happens to be personally unlucky too because September 13th was one of the nadirs of my life, won't go into detail...

    Animated Films - Embarassed to watch them...why?

    Hello, I'd just like to say I'm a new member here, but I don't expect to be a regular poster as I've learned to cope with my AS in recent years. However, there is one bizarre issue I have that I've never been able to understand. I think it would be worth noting that I am a MASSIVE film fanatic...
