I agree that talk therapy is a big ten-four....A support group would be great for you right now. I was diagnosed with OCD in 1995, but I have more of the obsessions (intrusive thoughts) than the compulsions. What I do is try to remind myself, when I catch my mind obsessing on something, that this is part of my OCD, that's all. I sort of try to remind myself that, sometimes, these intrusive thoughts are part of my illness. Medication has really helped me rewire my thinking. I was on Luvox for 3.5 years. Then off for 5 yrs, now on low dose Prozac, which seems to be doing well. DON'T GIVE UP, MY FRIEND! YOU WILL OVERCOME!
