Im not sure where to start, but i will give it a try. I have had anxiety for many years and have managed to cope. Sometimes i would binge drink to get through. Thing is i have OCD that i have never seen discussed hear or anywhere. Not even books, I obsess over my daily activities. I will try to remember things that i did at any given moment and try to remember it the exact way i did them. Most times i will forget like a normal person would but obsess trying to think about exactly how i did those things. It cant be a vague recollection but exact to the tee. I also will obsess over things i have tought about and try to remember my thoughts in the exact order i had them. I dont do the typical rituals(hand washing ect.) but they are similar i assume. Its like i have to battle my short term memory, even though that is five. I try to recall things that most people forgot already. And the things i try to recollect are random, can be anything. Example- I know i brushed my teeth last night, but i need to know when i did, or exactly what time i went to bed. Its been bad or the last 3 weeks, but im getting through now with alot of effort and trying to let go. Sometimes i can go a long time not doing this, but one little thing can set it off. Has anyone seen this before and is there a name for this type of OCD. Thanks
