others in the same boat as me. Thing that worries me most is that my
severe ocd is very sparadic. I can duck and dive for a month or 2
then wham, devastaion, all because I heard the wrong thing on the
radio or read the wrong thing in the papers. When my last major
attack was over I didn't read the papers or watch the news for 12
months or so, turning your head away from anything that could be news
is no fun. The more general ocd i.e. washing etc, is irritating but
not to the point where it destroys me. The big 3 as I call them, has
in the past left having to have time off work and becoming reclusive.
The fear of them is immense, so to suddenly face them alone will be
very scary. Don't want to ever think that way again but I had a minor
relapse this weekend and it has left me feeling very raw. Seems to be
subsiding now. Anyway, Beefy, press your doc for some help. 12 months
ago I couldn't drink a cuppa made by someone else, eat food if I,d
touched anything and so on, now although still occasionally
apprehensive I,m doing most things easilly. Wish I could say the same
about the big 3. Hope you CAN say the same in 12 months, all the
best. Leeesome

Do you really want to go back to that? I doubt it.
