Hello,

Thanks for sharing your experiences lostthedream, in my opinion, it may be worth organizing another assessment with a doctor. I am no expert, but as someone who suffers from OCD and has read quite a few books on the subject, some of those behaviours seem to fit the classification. I can also say, though my main set of symptoms are hygiene related, that I have a lot in common with what you wrote.. Particulary the tendency to constantly write out plans of action that never get followed through, and I also have cycled through a range of systems and software to do this.

I think just in the sense that these rituals are interfering with your ability to move forward in life, and take up so much time in the day, that it could be worth getting a second opinion. It sounds as though you really have the potential to achieve a lot, when you are able to move past this frenetic planning and start putting it all into action
