Hi Jamie



Firstly, welcome to the group, you will find most people are very
supportive.

However I think you were harshly treated from the last comments.



You should go to your GP to get confirmation as they can suggest therapy
and/or medication if necessary.



It's very difficult to find out that you have OCD and even more difficult
coming to terms with it.

Constantly touching objects and reading the same thing over is very common
in OCD.



I have been given some great feedback from this group. My wife and this
group have helped me come to the decision that I should consult my GP (after
25 years of thinking there was something not quite right). I am now on
medication and have recently sought advice about CBT although this treatment
is very few and far between. I have been told that self help books can make
a difference and have recently purchased one, I will post the name of it
soon.



Please don't be put off by any harsh words, I think you deserve a pat on the
back for actually doing something about it; this is a SUPPORT group after
all.



Take it easy and keep posting.



Ed
