I have had some Obsessive Compulsiveness for most of my life, but it is only recently that it has become what I would call a disorder. Now I am having trouble even getting dressed in the morning because I feel that if I put my pants on wrong that my father will die. Counting is driving me crazy, as is making sure I am looking at everything with both eyes. I'm constantly winking from one eye to another and counting on my fingers, so I must look awfully weird sometimes. The list goes on and on. The worst part is the burden of responsibility that I feel about it all. I don't like having my parents' life dependant on these increasingly complex and difficult rituals, and it is intensifying my anxiety.
Anyway, I just wanted to say hello on this board.
