Re: Question
If doing the things takes care of the problem and you're able to do so without your life getting seriously disrupted, then that's fine. If it starts getting worse, look up other people's coping mechanisms online, or talk to a doctor.
Re: Question
(Anonymous) 2014-11-04 03:06 am (UTC)(link)Thank you. Any suggestions for things that would be helpful to read? I hope all is well with you now.
Re: Question
I'd suggest looking for blogs, though, and for personal experiences rather than proper professional medical things at this point.
A word of advice, I'd say that you should focus on better managing your symptoms rather than trying to get rid of them all together. It's a more reachable goal than saying that you aren't going to have any symptoms, ever. For example, I used to feel really uncomfortable with having sticky things on my hands, but rather than try and make myself get used to it, I'd use a fork or chopsticks to eat popcorn.
Re: Question
(Anonymous) 2014-11-04 04:47 am (UTC)(link)I have pretty severe OCD. What you describe sounds awfully familiar.
A book I found really helpful was The Complete Idiot's Guide to Obsessive Compulsive Behavior. No, seriously! I found it super down-to-earth and helpful.

(Anonymous) 2014-11-04 04:57 am (UTC)(link)Thank you for the suggestion-- I will check it out!
