Hi Spriggy.Someone had mentioned the possibility that you might be suffering from PTSD. What do you think?
Both OCD and PTSD are really types of anxiety disorders. One of the contributors described well the ritual nature of OCD behaviors. I haven't seen you write about this. What is it about you that this test isolated as being symptoms of OCD?
I think it is good that you press your doctor to verbalize his thoughts to you as to what he thinks you suffer from.
