Wow you really know exactly what to say! That type of OCD really does sound cumbersome...how long have you been working through it? I wanted to thank you so much for your advice, it really means a lot that someone takes me seriously and can offer advice other then "suck it up bite your tongue." I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. If you ever need to talk about anything you always have a friend on here!

I swear I'm really telling the truth this time, but if you don't believe me, I understand why."
Remember, the most important thing is that you keep practicing and keep up your motivation! This will not go away overnight. Give yourself rewards for good behavior! Come up with some things to do for yourself for going a day without lying!
"Need to tell" OCD sucks... basically I will get these thoughts stuck in my head that are pretty ridiculous and then I can't stop talking about them, which gets on everyone's nerves. If I don't talk about them, though, anxiety shoots through the roof... Ughhh.
