I have had symptoms of OCD and over the years they have changed. I've managed to control their severity, but for they've gradually been getting the best of me. Now whenever I read a book, I must read the same page over and over again until it feels "right". I've always had a peculiar urge to arrnage items, but it's become worse. I must move my head, or arm, or finger, or utter some vocal absurdity to make the obsession go away. What should I do? I fear medication beacuse it may negatively alter my personality, world view, way of thinking, etc.
