Josie, that would be great if you would like to co-lead the chat with me! You are right, I am new, so I do not know any of the other members, but I just wanted to try to lend a hand regardless. I have personal experience with both OCD (checking, touch and sound hypersensitivity, and a variety of more specific things) and other anxiety issues. My OCD first flared in elementary school (pretty bad touch-counting, flickering lights, and lining things up), stopped for a few years, and then kicked back up about 6-7 years ago. I also have issues with grief, which is not really anxiety related, but just thought I would share that too. I am a Psych major working on my BA (and have an AA in Psych) and will then be applying for MA programs to become a Marriage and Family Therapist. I will send you a PM when I get onto the computer, so we can discuss more and talk about times (i.e. the poll).
