Paul, I have a special someone in my life that we've wondered time and again if she has OCD - but she's very young. I thank you for sharing your story, because I keep thinking of the "not stepping on cracks" or "cleanliness" compulsions...so this helped me understand the larger "fear/anxiety"...and often, the sooner we are informed the sooner we help ourselves and loved ones.

I am going to order that book - and share these resources with her mom. Thanks a million. And well done on taking the bull by the horns and saying: enough of this, what is it exactly that I'm struggling with? It's a powerful lesson for all of us - for the battles we all have in different facets of our lives.

Cheers!
