{{ENX|time=00:21, 27 August 2015 (UTC)|hooded=I don't expect forgiveness, but I would like to apologize for my unintended overreaction in this forum, specifically in my conversation above with KrytenKoro. Even if this isn't the place for it, I'd like to say that the reason I felt like I was being attacked based on Kryten's words and why I always seem to "take things personally" is because (I can't remember offhand if I ever told the Wiki's presently-active community...) I have OCD ([[wikipedia:Obsessive-compulsive disorder|obsessive-compulsive disorder]]).
Unfortunately, this mental disorder makes it almost impossible for me to deal with anxiety or stress of any kind; the disagreements with others I have in forums or on talk pages is an example of something anxiety-provoking for me. In those instances when anxiety traps me, I tend to lose my cool; this is perfectly illustrated above.
I wish to let everyone know that I have received intensive treatment for my OCD this summer, and now, I'm a lot better than I've been in the past. Even so, it'd mean a lot if this Wiki I truly enjoy working on so much with you all would remember that I have this condition in the future. OCD is a mental disorder that never goes away, at least entirely. In my heart, I only want to get along with everyone here and share my love of ''Kingdom Hearts'' with you all.
Under the guise of "quitting" the Wiki today (which I never truly mean…), I cooled down a bit and re-evaluated what transpired here. It was then I made the realization (I started to want to work here again as the day progressed) that all I needed was to get over my anxiety, cool down, and come back with a clear head.
For the future, just as I ask you all to remember that I have OCD and that it impacts my reactions and interactions at times, what ''I'' need to keep in mind is that when anxiety starts to affect these things, I need to step away from the computer for a while until I'm myself again. I'm climbing out of the self-destructive hole I've been digging and coming back to edit (even though college resumes for me in a few days…).}}
