I have OCD. It has at times ruled my life. I would not wish this on anyone. For me it is just now how I go about living. It does ruin lives, relationships, and just about everything you can imagine.
You have to realize that I am 46 yo, and nobody in the medical community had any clue what it was I had growing up in the 60's and 70's. They all (the dr's) thought I would grow out of this. Nope. It just has gotten worse over time. Sure I can go thru treatment, but the cost of it is so very expensive. I just don't have the money or the will any longer to do it. It is what it is. Now if you asked me maybe 2 or 3 years ago before my heart attack, and all, I would have jumped at the opportunity to change my OCD. But now, no.
