OCD

Thank to TV, we now know all the jargon, and what we used to attribute to someone's personality, we now diagnose as a disorder. Thus, when Fio's friend dropped everything and moved out of state only to return four months later, Fio attributed her actions to ADD rather than impulsiveness.

But what about Fiorella, who plans every moment of her day?  Fio's friend may be impulsive, but she herself is compulsive.  Why else would anyone write a blog every day for more than seven years straight?

Stretched Out in the Middle

Attention deficit disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder--two extremes of human psychology.  Actually, since they can be treated with prescription meds, Fio thinks they have a lot more to do with brain chemistry.  She could look the information up, but she's not obsessive/compulsive enough to do so.  On the other hand, she's not ADD enough to let the matter pass.
