Reading all your comments makes me realise how many different varieties of OCD there is. I would give anything to worry about odd numbers, or symmetry, or cracked pavements... But instead I've been graded a 10 out of 10 on the OCD intensity scale but 4 different psychiatrists. I need things to be clean, i know that doesnt sound much but when you consider I mean EVERYTHING needs to be clean, it's ruined my life. I cant make physical contact with people, friends or family. I am secluded to one chair in my house, and my bed. I have to have a full body wash, i.e. a shower EVERY time I step outside, even my own garden. I cant have anyone over to my house. I cant eat without washing afterwards. I'm just so lonely and scared that I'll be like this forever. And I appreciate people saying you'll get through this, or just adjust your thought-train, but the truth is I wont get over this and regardless what I tell brain I'll still do these things. I've accepted I'll live a lonely and secluded life. I just wish I had someone to talk to...
