Racer seems like we're similar. I hate dirt on my hands and just won't put them in dirt. But my understanding was you consistently washed your hands for no reason for it to be OCD? Well I also add up license plates and assign a number as to where they appear in the alphabet to the letters and add them all together. Do you pick you cuticles too? And when in school or even not that I'm not in school I drive my husband nuts changing from one thing to the other . Almost like thinking outloud. So luvox maybe helps it. But most of the time when I preform this ritualistic behavior is to relieve anxiety. Doesn't always work but sometimes it does. And I used to keep daily notes of the times I took my meds, what I did that day, and how I felt. I threw them away when we moved. I had a stack of around l5 legal pads. But Jost Maybe just write down the most important things? And I just don't know about which type of doc is better. It depends on whether they read journals and keep up on meds. I know a pdoc only does med checks for around l0minutes after the first time. That's my experience and sometimes a good GP will spend more time. You could always see both? Love Phillipa
