Hi everyone.I'm new here as of yesterday.Finally get to post in this section.

I've had ocd since 2006.I also have chronic fatigue sundrome (cfs) since 2000.I am agoraphobic to add to my woes.

I remember the exact moment it started.It felt like a little electricity ran across the top of my head.I knew right then I was in for a bad experience.
I felt things change from that moment onward.

I had gone out to the letterbox to grab the junk mail(store catalogues),brought them inside,placed them on a bench.I'll read them later.About 90 minutes later I tried to pick them up.It waas as though an intense fear wouldnt let me do it.I froze.I didnt pick them up.This happened at rando \m from that moment on.

I had to leave so many things where they were.It got worse.It affected me in my daily grooming.The next day I felt weird.I got stuck wearing the same clothes I had on the day before.I couldnt shave,couldnt brush my teath,could shower,couldnt wash my hair.It just kept getting worse.Within weeks I couldnt do any grooming and I was looing a mess.My appearance had changed.I was no longer well groomed.I was a slob.

I saw a guy several years before 2006,around 1993.He was in business.He looked a mess and in pain.He hadnty shaved,hadnt trimmed his hair,hadnt cut his toenails,fingernails.In fact his grooming didnt exist.Fast forward to 2006 and I'm now like that.I found out about a year ago the guy told me he had ocd.

Here's how ocd affects me:
unable to cut my hair,shave,trim my beard,shave,trim fingernails/toenials,facial hair,etc.
unable to prepare food/cook food/eat food when I'm on my own.
unable to change my clothing.I had worn the same clothing for years everyday.Unable to change into clean or new clothing.
unable to remove recyclables,rubbish from my home.
unable to remove anything from my fridge/freezer.
unable to replace my bed linen with clean/new bed linen.
Unable to wash my clothing,bed linen,etc.

In 2007 I started looking around to find any alternative health practitioners.I had heard about kinesiology.I decided to try that.Over 2 years I had about 4 different kinesiologists.One who combined kinesiology and rebirthing.It helped.I finally found a practitioner who does muscle testing and various techniques.I'm one of 3 clients of his that has ocd.I've never met the other 2.I had a weird day yesterday and had a treatment.

Now,as for progress,I've been making progress big time.Just these last 8 months has changed my life.Most of the rituals are gone.MNost of the things I cant do or being prevented from doing I can now do.I used to be underweight.I've put on around 4 pounds each week for the last 3 weeks.I weight more now than I ever did since late 2006.

I look like me know.My grooming is back on track.I can cook meals,eat meats on my own since christmas day.I wear new clothing since the day after christmas.Even though my practitioner and I kept in contact every few days lately he finally saw all those changes while he was here yesterday.

I dont know if there;s a proper name for this variant of ocd.I never heard of what its caled.I never found anyone else.I mean I only started getting into forums around November 2012.

If you have similar experiences to me please compare notes.I dont mind if you do.If you want to reply no matter what,please do.

As I'm in several forums for ocd,cfs,etc I usually put my first name at the end of a post.Is that allowed here? For now,I'll abreviate my username.

Regards Den.
