OCD stinks. I did therapy before medicine, but after about a year and a couple of months, I was still feeling awful so then I decided to try a psychiatrist who specialized in OCD, and that's where I'm at now. :/ If this doesn't start working, though, sometime soon, I'm probably going to go back into therapy. My psychiatrist seems to think talk therapy doesn't help OCD, but I don't really believe him. I think everyone's OCD is different in what can help. :/ IDK, IDK. I'm just glad to hear other people's experiences with it.

P.S. I apologize ahead of time for the bad quality pictures. I'm retaking some of them now.

I'm sorry about the numbers. I've never really had the problem with numbers in particular, but I can only imagine how frustrating that is. It has got to be tiring.

Kwis, since you're in this thread, question! Do you think it had any negative effects on me to have had constant OCD for many years and dealing with it without taking any meds? Or could it be a good thing that I kind of trained myself to not be so bad about it?

Sorry, I was busy taking those pictures! I didn't see your post! But no, I think it's better that you've kind of trained yourself. I mean, the fact that you can recognize what it is in the first place is a pretty positive thing by itself, you know? I'm not sure if that made sense.

I just retook the pictures. Now I have to resize them. Hopefully they turn out better!

Okay, here are the checklist pages. I mean, there are a lot more pages of checklists that get into more specifics, but this is a general idea. Also, there's tons more stuff that's in that book (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder by Fred Penzel) that's really helpful and all kinds of types of OCD and stuff. It's something good to have, or even check it out if it's at the library or whatnot!

I put them under a spoiler, and I'm sorry if they're big, but I wanted to make sure you could read them! And if you can't read them, I'll translate some of the text for you, just let me know! I'll probably take them down, later, though, so I don't get sued. Oh, and sorry about my fingernails in some. My nail-polish is chipped really badly. Oh, and, the first page is all marked off, because it had eraser marks on it, and then I stopped doing the check list physically, because I was afraid someone would find it and think I was seriously messed up.



I think that's all of them! I will probably check ten times to make sure I put all of them up even if it appears I have.
