I saw my therapist, today; I had session #2! Unfortunately, I completely neglected to mention about this whole palava with lying, because I forgot. ¬_¬ I knew there was something I needed to talk about, but 1 measly hour is not nearly enough to talk about all the crap that goes on in my skull - hopefully I'll remember, next time. I did brush on something like this, though. I believe my psychologist has confirmed that, at least for me, it's OCD. There's no denying that it is a trait of OCD, because it pretty much ties in with self-doubt, and the whole "what if" thing. Besides ruminating over it, do you have any other compulsions to help you with this fear of lying? Some things like the following:

1. Seeking reassurance - such as asking friends or family for confirmation that you're not lying, or seeking assurance that it is "just your OCD".
2. Ruminating - such as compulsively going over an obsession, or repeatedly recalling past conversations, events, etc.
3. Engaging in a physical action - touch, movement for "correct" vision, counting out-loud, organising, cleaning, etc.

There are plenty more ways in which we compulsively act-out, as we all know too well! xD The above are just a few typical ways, and also, ones that I personally experience, and on a fairly regular basis.
