peg doesn't know what i'm going through either, and what's more does not list OCD among his/her concerns. I do. So it seems to me that i get to make a pretty mild joke about my own issue without being (in effect) called insensitive or (actually) non-empathetic.
and that's the end of it. i'm not going to argue this all day. I've had symptoms of OCD since I was a kid but it got a lot worse in the last 2-3 years. I'm kind of moderate. Only for a short time earlier this year was I really "crippled" i.e. really could not deal with my life, but for much longer than that I felt like a prisoner of myself.
