Hi Spazzcat,
The funny (well not so funny) thing is that most of us have some symptoms from different parts of the forum. It's like the illnesses won't fit into the diagnoses, and why should they? IMHO OCD is part of a lot of other conditions, especially the intrusive thoughts part of it. I do the symmetry and lining up stuff, and it does make for tidy bookshelves! Good (non intrusive) thoughts, M

Hey Spaz!!!
I have OCD. Mostly intrusive thoughts but I do have some weird quicrks about the certain numbers that I try to avoid and contamination of medications and stuff like that. I take my meds so alot of my symptoms are under control but there are times when my OCD with get the best of me. Generally, a big part of dealing with OCD, for me, the intrusive thoughts is deversion of thought. There are lots of excercises that you can do to divert your mind to others, more healthier things. If I dwell in my thoughts it triggers more and more negativity in me. I try to nip it in the bud when i notice myself quirking out. Please feel free to PM me anytime if you want to talk or need some support. I am here for you. Take care. Love, Jen |

Hey I never thought I would be here either, but Im so glad I found this amazing group of people to help me in dealing with all of my many newly diagnosed disorders, in a nut shell im a basket case hehe but I feel a sense of belonging here and LOVE IT.
OCD has been with me for sometime now, I wash my hands over 50 times a day and fear of contamination with everthing meat, meds, liquids and tons of other things. Im here if you would like to talk anytime! *hugs*
