Ocd and the truth

[petewilsmore39Participant]

What is the truth about ocd – is it really a disease? What if you have bdd and ocd and checking is a compulsion?  I thought I was doing the right thing trying to ignore it, but I don’t know anymore. I’m believing that this won’t go away and I don’t know how to handle the guilt.
