I confess. I suffer from a severe case of JDOCD (Johnny Depp Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). For details on this disorder, visit http://www.ohjohnny.net/jdocd.html

JDOCD is a merciless condition that can affect anyone at any age. Although it seems to be more common in hererosexual females, it has also been seen in some males of homosexual persuasion and has also been seen in homosexual females. It strikes without warning, usually during or soon following a viewing of a Johnny Depp film. What begins as a normal appreciation for a fine male specimen, soon becomes an insane obsession that will eventually affect every aspect of the victim's life. Neither does this condition acknowledge racial, cultural or religious boundaries. 

So far, research indicates that the best known way to protect yourself from this affliction is to NEVER watch a Johnny Depp film. Watching Johnny at awards shows, etc. is usually safe, as when he is in attendance at such events, he is usually behaving in such peculiar manner as to hide the more addictive aspects of his personality. Research is still being conducted on the addictive tendancies of simply seeing photos of Johnny. It is generally believed that to become susceptible to this infection, one must actually have a Johnny Depp 'experience' through a JD movie character, but it is now believed that viewing photos alone has, in rare instances, led to the development of the disorder. At the very least, viewing photos will almost always lead to the viewing of a film, which, in many cases, has disastrous consequences for the viewer. 

Does anyone know of a 12-step program for JDOCD? Is it an addiction or an actual DISEASE -- do we really KNOW? Does anyone know of someone who has really fully recovered from this condition?

I've tried to analyze all this, but I could never really understand why this happened to me. However, once I accepted the reality of my condition, I determined to just sit back and enjoy it and hope for the best. Those who truly love me will not abandon me in my darkest hour of need. Sadly, there may be some who cannot tolerate the insanity. I cannot blame them. 

Do I really WANT to recover? Though hopeless it may now seem, I have to wonder...if somehow I find healing for what ails me, how boring would THAT be?!
