Yes, I can understand how people might be exasperated over this but that is just how OCD works. A person with this disorder will repeatedly seek reassurances that they don't have a disease and even with these reassurances, medical tests, etc, they will still be convinced that something is wrong with them. That's why it's called the "doubting disease". That why your mind is constantly thinking "what if?". So what you are seeing here is not the *real me* but rather, this disorder manifesting itself through me. It's when the symptoms get really bad, that I start questioning wether it is really anxiety but since I have suffered from this for 10 years now (on varius levels) I have never questioned wether any of you were right or wether I really had GAD/OCD/Panic, etc. I KNOW I have it. It's just that it can get pretty severe and make you doubt that it's really just anxiety sometimes - thus the "doubting disease" term. I have a few other disorders that cause me to ask the same questions over and over again (in different ways) and I think this is what get's onpeople's nerves sometimes but I really can't help it and it is completely innocent and I mean no harm.

I hope this explains things a little bit better.
