    I know all too well about the misery that OCD can create.. And I can tell you that I was amazed with my turn around after being on meds and in therapy for a just a few months and then longer.

    What country or state do u live in?

    I have obsessed about it all day too and I just want to go home and sleep to get rid of it but I know that is not the way to handle it. Facing it is the way to handle it and that is hard to do when you are in the midst of anxiety. I think it is at its peak for us JCX right now. Which sucks BAD! It sucks to have to work wondering if people can tell you are on edge or if you can even give them eye contact because you think you may lose it in front of them. Do you ever feel that way?

    OCD is "intrusive .. Disturbing thoughts that persist." On the obsessive part., and then some/many people follow with a compulsion.. Acting out rituals knocking 5 times etc..

    I do not have the compulsion part.. I just have the obsessive.. Which is much much more under control these days..

    I live in Tennessee, I am a little embarrassed to tell anyone at work that I am just having anxiety issues at the moment and I am noticing today that the lights are freaking me out. I constantly bounce my leg and my boss keeps saying are you ok? I don't want her to think I cant handle stress or my job.
