Hi apislily,

Thanks for your response to my post!

I'm still trying to find out if I have scrupulosity. Strangely enough I have the book Brain Lock which was recommended to me when I was in outpatient care for bipolar disorder. I'll get it out and read it again.

I will definitely talk this over with my priest. As a matter of fact I may call him sometime this week. Our Orthodox mission is very small and we have a priest about twice a month.

It sure is tough! Even if I don't have scrupulosity, what I am doing (or should I say not doing) is very distressing to me. I want to do what is right so desperately but I just give up and do nothing. The guilt is crippling at times.

Thanks for the recommendations. All the best to you as you work through your OCD.
