Hello
I’ve just joined this forum and I’m hoping to gain better understanding of OCD and its impact on my life.
About 17 years ago, I was given a number of diagnoses, one of which was traits of OCD.
Back then I knew next to nothing about the condition, I’m sure I was typical of what many people thought about the condition. I just thought it was people constantly washing their hands or turning light switches on and off repeatedly. As I didn’t do that, I assumed the traits had little impact on me.
However, today I’m a bit more enlightened and realise it’s also about rigid behaviour patterns and I have plenty of those!
Having a number of diagnoses whose traits overlap, makes it hard to gauge which one is having the most impact?
Any thoughts information and help would very much appreciated.
Thanks
Martin
