Hello. I think I've had OCD from 4th grade, (I'm 50 now). It's come and gone throughout the years, (and sometimes seemed to go away entirely during certain periods of my life) but the OCD-like behaviors have been bad for many years now. For example, my dear sister, her boyfriend and my niece and nephew are driving up to visit us(me, Dad, and Stepmom) and will be here in 2 hours. I'm panicking because although on one level I'm thrilled and so happy to see them, on another level my mind is screaming "No!!! I can't deal with the cleaning fallout from this visit!!!" I'll be OK while they are here(as ok as I can be), but when they leave I will have to Windex "my" chairs (they are outside chairs that can be wiped down) if anyone sits on them, then put my clothes in the laundry basket and take a major shower(because of the touching~hugs and kisses) and then do it again tomorrow morning if they come over for breakfast. I love them but this is hard...
