It is a condition where a person reoeats
endlessly the same task- opening and
closing doors, washing, cleaning,
counting. They often have anxiety that
causes them to repeat and repeat because
of fear of germs ( the washing) and
superstition ( counting)
a book that really explains this told by a
girl with ocd is "kissing doorknob"
hope this helped.

Hey twentyone, I really really recommend
that you read "kissing doorknob" because
it is a book that shows how a girl suffers
with ocd but recovers in the end and wins
over the battle.
There are many medications and therapies
for ocd and you can easily get them and
lead a normal amd happy life. Just see
your Dr.
The very best to you. Take care.

Thanks poet for your reply. I have heard
about that book I must read it. Its a
real pain in the ass... It takes up so
much of your time doing these complusions.
I hate it I have been referred to a diff
doc to get meds im on cipralex at the min
they dont help. Hopefully with the right
meds I will be fine.
