> I have OCD and your behavior does sound obsessive to me. But how much does the rumination inhibit you from living the life you want to live? That's the big question....
>That's a very good question but an incredibly difficult one to answer. I can't say that I've ever been completely free from anxiety except the first time I was ever on a medication. During that time I felt a lot more confident and "in control" of things. But besides that I've had some type of anxiety or another for the vast majority of the time, so it's hard to say how much it's affected my life because I don't know any other way to live. I've adapted to the way I am and have managed to stumble through life to this point, but I guess I feel that I could accomplish a lot more and live a happier life if I were free of anxiety.
