To make the long story short, is there anyone in the same boat?

<Cough>... think I recognize myself in that first sentence.
And I DEFINITELY recognize my mother in the rest. Though not dx'd, she's "got stuff" for sure, and it wouldn't be at all surprising if some dx would be the same as mine. Some of it just plays out very differently. (I think that the debate of hoarding being part of OCD, or whether it should be catagorized elsewhere is a very interesting one. Hope I put that ok, it came out a little weird.).Soooo, I'm not in the same boat, but have experience with it and what a frustrating beastie it can be.
We can raise a brigade if you would like that!
