:imbari have read several articles and even have an ocd workbook. i have not been diagnosed yet... but i am certain that i have it. for one, i can hardly read the workbood b/c i get "stuck" on words and sentences. it could take me 20 minutes to read one page. i read the words over and over. i understand the words and the sentences, but strongly feel that i have to go back and read them again and again. this is so frustrating. i love to read. when i was young, i could read a book easily in a week. now it takes me months to finish a book. i have tried several different meds. but as i said, i have never been fully diagnosed. i really think that i am at the point of needing therapy. i also have the counting thing going on. for instance when applying make up or turning off a light switch - i will count in my head while performing simple tasks. frustrated!!!!!!!
