Hi Hartford

Although I was diagnosed with OCD, I think I know what you mean.

I have always pretty much been in control of any compusions. They are mild...I can see they are part of a disorder and am lucky enough to be able to not be consumed by them

Obsessions are a totally different ball game for me, my head sometimes feels like its going to explode because of them, once one gets a grip on me I can't see a way out of it, I have no control over the thoughts that rush through my head at 1 million miles an hour or my actions with regards to finding out the truth about whatever I'm thinking about and is sending me crazy at that time.

I am definatley far far more obsessive than compulsive but still got diagnosed with OCD. I was only 15 at the time though and haven't had therapy for years now so I don't know if the diagnosis would still be the same

I hope that makes sense, good luck with your psych evaluation and I hope you get the help you need!

Let me know how you get on
