I am so sorry about your OCD problems too hun. It's just horrible isn't it!! Mine would be bad too but the medications help me. I give you kudos for being brave enough to try out life without the meds!!!

One thing though hun about your eyes tearing up so easily...the large amounts of strong chemicals you are using to cleanse surfaces with are a huge stimulant for your eyes to tear up. I know you need to use the chemicals so at lease please use safety glasses while you are cleaning!!!

Your eyes tearing up like that are counteracting damage that the chemicals are doing from when you are cleaning. That damage will make your eyes tear when you are using the chemicals and when you aren't. The airborne fumes from chemicals are usually the most damaging to your eyes, nose and lungs. Pretty soon, the tear production becomes constant because your body doesn't know when to stop combatting irritants. It sounds like your eyes are already in that 'constant' phase. Get some safety glasses to use while you are cleansing...it should help somewhat. Please hun...take an old bio-chem's advice???? It can't hurt!!!! Your eyes are a very precious resource...what would your life be without your site???????
