I'll pop you an e-note. I actually do see a psychiatrist for meds. and a neurologist. You're right--we're taking up too much board space!
Later,
Kate.

I have found it fascinating to read about how you feel, though. My stepmom has OCD and is a hoarder. I often feel for her, it's got to be tough. Thank you for teaching me a little bit about OCD. God bless you both and I hope that you will someday see a cure.

Thanks, Shannon. It's like looking through a pair of sunglasses - everything is coloured by OCD. Everything you see or do is according to how you see it through OCD eyes. My grandmother was a horader too. Unbelievable. She wouldn't throw ANYTHING away.

BINDERS and BINDERS of them, just in case there's a contest a product puts out. She also enters every contest known to man 100 times. It's kind of almost funny how hers manifests. i had always thought she was just uber-prepared.  I don't think she's as troubled by it as you are though....but Alicia, it makes sense how the handwashing could get out of control when you're a teacher, sweetie! Those little germ factories get me sick all the time!

You should have seen me when they built a new sink in my own classroom!!!! LOL! I'd wash my hands between classes, after handling another kid's instrument. I'd keep teaching and conducting the whole time I was washing (only a few seconds) - LOL. In my defense, though, some of the instruments include handling parts of instruments that have spit on them - definitely not hygienic - and I think anyone in that case would want to wash their hands. Sigh. I had my own several jars of hand sanitizer in my desk as well!!!!! Couldn't live without it!!!

I have a friend like that. Her husband built shelves in the basement and she has organized boxes with the packaging from everything that she has bought in the past 25 years. She has a separate bank account for all of the rebates she gets.
I had another friend that was a shopaholic, but she didn't seem to realize it. She died before she used most of the stuff she bought.

The stats are staggering....
About one in 40 people have OCD.
About one in 10 have bipolar disorder.
In the 70's, they thought that about 1 in 100 had these disorders. It's becoming much more well known.
