NOT OTHERWISE DEFINED

BY PETE ROSCH
I am not really defined by my OCD, but some days it feels like I am. It dictates my behavior every minute of every day. It is perpetually in doubt as to whether I am doing things myself, or because I’m compelled. Meaningful moments outside of spelling are few and far between. Every moment is permanently possessed by compulsions. But I am not my OCD. Nor am I defined by my diagnosis of autism. I am Peter Rosch, fried food aficionado, reader of poetry, lover of music, and writer of this blog.

Going To The Dentist

This weekend I have to go to the dentist. I am stressed already and it’s only Monday. Going to the dentist has always been horrible for me.  I can’t bear sitting there and having someone mess around inside my mouth. I’m not sure what it is that freaks me out so much.  It could be a sensory thing, I suppose. It feels disgusting to have something foreign in my mouth. I don’t even like having my teeth brushed by my Dad, but I can tolerate it…barely. But having a dentist stick all that stuff into my mouth? No thank you. 


My Mom is my hero right now, because she found a sedation dentist. I can sleep through the whole thing. You cannot imagine my relief. So while I am stressed about going this coming weekend, it’s nothing compared to the past.

Good luck with the dentist, Pete. Kudos to your mom for finding the sedation dentist.
