Is it Possible There's More of Us Out There??? Apparently so....
"Hi Girls ... I just wanted to say I have enjoyed reading your Depp OCD website. I am definitely DeppAddicted and fit right in with all the others who are obsessed. And I thought that I had a problem! Turns out I'm not so bad after all. JD is a fitting first time movie star hobby for a 54 year old---I reckon it's about time. I "discovered" Johnny/Jack when I took my "grandkids" to see POTC II. Where had I been? They weren't all that impressed but I was hooked. I'm looking forward to reading all the pages on the website. Thanks for helping with my OCD!" -- Dianne
"If we can't take a step back and laugh at ourselves once in a while, life would be a pretty dreary existence! Love your humor! Thanks!" -- Nathalie
"Oh my gosh! I've just read your site, from start to finish!! A friend of mine told me I had to check it out and I have to say I've not read anything this funny in a long, long time! My favourite has to be the Terminology page! Brilliant!!! I really admire the minds who came up with all of those Depp words!!! I'm a happily afflicted sufferer as well. Life just seems so much rosier since Johnny came along. I smile more often and little things that used to bother me, seem so trivial and unimportant now.
I guess I don't have to tell you which character it was that brought about this epiphany, but my transformation was very similar to "Amy's" on your "How to Cope" page. A million thankyous for helping us to see that having an obsession is not always a terrible thing." -- Janine
"I'm yet another JDOCD afflicted middle-aged female and because of my affliction, I can honestly say that I have never been happier. I read your website through and thought that you easily could have been describing me. I love your sense of humor. I laugh at myself for all of these same things. If you would have told me a year ago that I was going to be head-over-heels crazy over 'some actor', I'd would have thought you insane. Nope. Not me. Too practical. Too level-headed. Go figure! Now I'm glued to the internet trolling for any new bit of info, have an almost complete library of JD DVDs, a collection of magazine articles and JD interviews, a hard drive full of pics and, a favorites list with more JD-related websites than everything else put together and have completely thought out what I'm going to say and do WHEN I meet Johnny. A lunatic, maybe. NEVER been happier, definitely! Life is so good when suffering from JDOCD. Thank you for making me laugh." -- Susan
"Hello there! My name is Carrie, and just now came across your FABULOUS site!! In between bouts of hysterical laughter, I also felt spooky. It's like someone got into the core of my brain and made a website. Thank you so much for creating this site. Bless you!! I have been afflicted with a severe case of JDOCD for over three years now. And I NEVER want to be cured, ever!! Thanks again" -- Carrie
"Your website is absolutely fantastic! I was in my usual mode of trawling Google every five minutes to see if any news has come in about JD, and looking for the type of tobacco/papers he smokes and up came your site. Heavens it's me too! Here I am, going to be 57 in December (though fortunately I'm fairly well preserved and only in my 20s on the inside) and have become totally JD obsessed. I've always thought of him as my number one pin-up, but since POTC he's taken over my life. I now have every one of his DVDs, which of course necessitated a TV/DVD/video in the bedroom and two of the books about him. What a darling man he is, and of course we can all dream.
I've been trying to keep my obsession quite hidden from my husband but now will try and find some way of pointing him towards the page with the hints of how a partner can handle our obsession! You've absolutely made my day!!!" -- Linda (English but living in Southern Spain)
"Thank you so much for your website! I have been absolutely nuts since July 7, 2006 (We all know what that date was!). I am 52 years old and thought I have gone completely off my rocker. NOW I know what my disease is and I am SO RELIEVED to find out that I am not the only one. Really though, thank you so much, the site is so funny, I just about fell out of my chair (as I did for the chair scene in "The Man Who Cried"...) when I found it." -- Terry
"OMG!! Thanks for your site, it is absolutely hilarious!! I love every bit of it & I am glad to be a part of such a 'disorder'!! I am ready to open up & confess my JDOCD!! My husband actually doesn't have a problem with it at all...JD is the BEST aphrodisiac around. When my hubby grabs a bottle of wine & sweetly asks, "Which Johnny movie tonight, Dear?", he knows he's gonna get lucky!!!
Most of my really close friends aren't obsessed yet...but I told them to just put JDOCD in their search engine (that's how I found your website) if they didn't believe me because there really is a true disorder/connection out there amongst very intelligent girls, ladies, women & Johnny Depp. I also told them to try BPOCD (Brad Pitt) or any other actor for that matter & see what they come up with...NOTHING!!
Also, I got registered at the Zone just a few days ago & cannot believe what I've been missing!! Thanks again for naming our disorder & keeping the laughs going!" -- Lisa
"I just think your site is so awesome. I totally understand everything. My god! I can relate so much, it's incredible. He's like a drug or something. Just helps me cope and feel happy again. My favourite thing to think about. You should get some kind of a list going that vistors can sign if they also suffer from this hilarious and awesome disorder! I will so sign it! Thanks for the website, makes me laugh." - Jacinda
"I must say, I had a splendid time! I read some of it aloud to my two boys and they said over & over, Yep, Mom -- that's you! Thanks for all your efforts to capture the light-hearted lunacy that is JDOCD. Depp Devotees the world over bow in your general direction." -- Kate
"I just found your site and it's too hysterically funny!!!! I couldn't stop laughing the whole time. The sports thing is SO right on! And the Twelve-Step program??? The Second One is ME all the way!!! You people have either got it very bad (like me) or
you're psychics!! I'm telling all my peeps to check you guys out!!!!! Thanks for making my day...week...year!" -- Cassie
"One of the funniest things I've ever read. Wow! I haven't laughed so much since I read the "Pirates! In An Adventure" books. Don't know where you writers get it from! Wish I knew more people who had this type of humor -- life would sure be a lot sweeter. I especially loved the "Ted and Amy" scenario! Congratulations on a job well done!" -- Patricia
"I just knew you would find a way to have fun with this! Have the site
bookmarked and will visit regularly! An excellent idea, mates!" -- Kathy
"OMG!! I have a horrible (wonderful!!) case of JDOCD!! I am old enough to be his, uhhhh, older sister, but the man makes me feel younger than I have in years. My affliction began, as with so many, with the release of POTC - even beforehand, I guess. I'd see the preview commercials on tv, with our glorious captain's opening shots and thought to myself - "what the h-e-double hockeysticks is that???"! My mouth hung open and my heart palpitated so fiercely I thought I'd pass out.
I read through every word on this site! Hilarious - and SO true. You gals can certainly put into words so aptly, what so many of us "sufferers" feel! Thanks for this!!" -- Kel
"I have just finished reading every word on your site and I have not laughed so hard in at least ... well ... I don't know. See, I am afflicted as well, so I laugh a lot more than I used to. It is a wonderful affliction, isn't it? I happen to be married to a guy that doesn't mind my JDOCD and in fact, likes to see me like this ... It is to his advantage (if you know what I mean), that I am happy all the time. My guy will buy me anything Depp because he knows it makes me smile. He even goes so far as to find things and ask "Do you already have this?" Gotta love 'em! Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed it. Thanks!" -- Deb
"FANTASTIC!! You two are nuttier than fruit cakes! Great site -- huge belly laughs -- it hurts. Thanks!" -- Nancy
"Just found your site and wanted to let you know that it is the funniest stuff I've read in a looooong time. I, too, am an old-time Zoner. You may remember me. Just wanted to say kudos to your site. It's a hoot." -- Choccy
