Re: [TW. GC-rated] Introduction to Charlie
by A Non-Existent User
Hello Charlie. Thank you so much for your introduction and I appreciate what you have been going through. Like you, I do have some traits of OCD; have had them most of my life. Sometimes the symptoms are minor; other times they are troublesome. I have a thing about needing to be heard. If I feel someone is not fulling listening to me, the OCD kicks in. I am trying to let it go but it is hard. When I get good sleep, this issue is much better.

I also focus too much on illnesses. I go overboard on cleanliness and avoiding groups especially during winter months. Like you, I also have gone through therapy years ago. Therapy didn't help me much but it did give me an insight on why I was obsessing about certain things.

I still struggle with OCD but am doing better. Groups like this, I think, will help.

Happy to be here.

Morningstar
