Yeah, I started to get obsessive as a Buddhist--about whether all my choices (about what I ate, drank, wore, said, did, you name it) were "right." Even though Buddhism doesn't have commandments per se, it has precepts, or guidelines, which were driving me just as nuts.

I did enjoy the meditative aspect, which helped me relax. And I think there's much that is good about Buddhism. It can be very common sensical, and it's messages are peace and tolerance, and concern for others, not bad messages for our times.
