Q: OCD manifests in thoughts, and these thoughts play out in a person's behavior. If you suspect someone you care about has OCD, look for the following: Large blocks of unexplained time that the person is spending alone (in the bathroom, getting dressed, doing homework, etc.) Doing things again and again (repetitive behaviors) Constant questioning of self-judgment; excessive need for reassurance Simple tasks taking an effort Perpetual tardiness Increased concern for minor things and details Extreme, unnecessary emotional reactions to small things Inability to sleep properly Staying up late to get things done A significant change in eating habits Increased irritability and indecisiveness Obsessions can be about fears of contamination, fears of being harmed by another person, fears of by persecuted by God or other religious leaders because of thoughts that contain unwanted images such as sexual images or thought that would be blasphemous. The fear is what drives OCD, even if the fear is unlikely with low risk, people with OCD are still very much afraid. This fear creates anxiety which drives compulsions, and the person with OCD uses compulsions as a way to pacify or control their anxiety caused by their obsession. Compulsions are usually acts or behaviors such as saying a certain prayer a certain amount of times, checking the stove repeatedly, or checking the locks on the house a certain number of times. When most of us think of this disorder, we think of those who wash their hands 30 times before leaving the bathroom or those who switch the light on and off exactly 17 times before bed. In actuality, OCD rears its head in many different ways: People with a washing compulsion are afraid of contamination and usually wash their hands frequently. People who check things repeatedly (oven turned off, door locked, etc.) tend to associate everyday objects with harm or danger. People with a strong feeling of doubt or sin may expect that terrible things will happen and they might even be punished. People who are obsessed with order and symmetry often have superstitions about numbers, colors, or arrangements. People with a tendency to hoard things may be afraid that something bad will happen if they throw even the smallest thing away. Everything from trash to old receipts gets saved.
A: Look for signs of OCD. Understand what obsessions are. Learn what compulsions are. Understand the types of OCD.

Q: Kneaded erasers are made from a slightly sticky, putty-like substance that makes them very easy to shape and use. You can find kneaded erasers in most art supply shops. Kneaded erasers are best for when you need to lighten, rather than fully erase, colored pencil. You can approximate the effect of a kneaded eraser using wall putty, which is a very similar material. Because kneaded erasers are very malleable, you can and should make the shape that is easiest for you to handle and use. For large areas, you can flatten and stretch a kneaded eraser out over the area you want to erase. For small areas, shape the eraser into a pencil-like point. It is best to test an erasing method before starting to erase large portions. Erasing can cause streaking. By testing first, you can ensure that you will not ruin your picture. Rub gently in a small circle to test. If you notice streaking, rub more gently. If you notice streaking, consider trying another method. Try to choose a peripheral spot to test the eraser. If it does smear or streak, you do not want it to ruin the central part of your image. You can rub the page rather hard with a kneaded eraser, because they are soft and unlikely to tear the page. After your rub some of the pigment off the page, pick up the eraser and fold the eraser over itself. This will help to prevent the pigment from rubbing back off on the page. You may need to repeat this process several times to remove all or most of the colored pencil. Rub, fold, rub, fold. Continue until you are happy with the results. Still, be careful. Although you are unlikely to tear the page, you may crease it. Unlike other types of erasers, kneaded erasers need to be cleaned after using them. To clean the eraser stretch it thin and fold it back over. Repeat several times if necessary. You may need to rub the kneaded eraser on another surface to get pigment out.
A: Buy a kneaded eraser. Create the shape you need. Test the eraser on a small area. Rub the eraser on the page to pick up pigment. Clean the kneaded eraser.
