Ok, so this is kind of funny to me.

I rarely write about my ocd as it's usually the least of my problems. Sure I obsess and sure I have little rituals that I must do, but they're usually pretty manageable these days.

Well, I've noticed I've developed a new one. When I come here (to PC) and visit my usual sections, I must go into every active thread to make it appear as read. Not a big deal, right? Wrong! I hadn't been here in a few days and now I've spent all morning making sure nothing appears as bold (unread) in any of my rooms. Further complicating the matter is that while I'm on the site I have to go back to places I've already been if they get a new post or response to re-mark those as read. When I leave, nothing in my sections can be unread and today that took hours.

What's funny is that I kept thinking, wow, I need to get work done. But I can't stop myself. Nothing can be bold! Nothing! lol.

Not sure what to do in this case. I've never been obsessed with treatment before.
