I HAVE BEEN AN OCD SUFFERER ALL MY LIFE.LONG BEFORE IT WAS A FAD!IM 36.OCD CAN BE HELPFUL.IT CAN PUSH YOU FARTHER THAN OTHER PEOPLE.IN ATHLETICS,WORK REALATIONSHIPS.EXAMPLE BODYBUILDING,BECAUSE YOUR OBSECED WITH BEING PERFECT YOULL WORKOUT LONGER.OR BEING A TRIATHELETE. YOU'L RUN THAT EXTRA MILE ,SWIM THAT EXTRA LAP.TRY TO CHANEL YOUR OBSESSIONS IN A POSOTIVE DIRECTION.I LIKE TO WORKOUT ,BECAUSE IT REALXES ME,AND I DONT HAVE AS MUCH ANXIETY.GETS RIDE OF ALL THE NERVOUS ENERGY.THE WORST THING TO DO IS DWELL ON YOUR OBSESSIONS.STAY BUSY,KEEP YOUR MIND MOVING!AND MEDICINE DOES WORK FOR ALOT OF PEOPLE!UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME AFTER A YR OR SO THEY WEAR OFF!
