best thing to do in my opinion is ask a doctor. i know with my OCD i worry tremendously about things not being "perfect" and i become very upset if i think they aren't. i also like to be very exact in everything i do, and try to avoid doing anything that would render something "imperfect".

i also feel a deep need to "use up" things. for instance, i mark off the date every day on my calendar, in order to "make time go away". i also have a need to use up the ink in pens and felt tip markers!

the other thing i know about my OCD is that for some reason i feel my life would be completely "empty" without it. i cannot even begin to describe the terrible, blank emptiness i would feel without it. it "orders" my life. i'm not saying it is a wonderful thing to have, but my OCD has been the primary coping mechanism i have had for anxiety for years, probably ever since i was a child!

good luck to you!
