Never give up the hope that it will be defeated. I think most of us, I can for sure, understand what it is like to battle a mental disorder with no help. Most of us hide it from everyone for a very long time. Mine started when I was 9 and I was 38 when I finally sought help and discovered it was actually something and not just "my problem". Keep up the good fight. Hey Sarah,

Like wearing clothes on certain days a week and repeating that order OVER AND OVER AGAIN. Also having the urge to touch door knobs 3 times each or until I am satisfied and lining up objects. When Ihad OCD fears about sexuality, that was horrid. I knew I had a problem then. Egodystonic obsessions made me look into this much more. I know I have OCD for sure, I've had it since I was six I believe when I used to shower after eating fast foods "to wash away" the smell and oil. Weird. I've battled through HOCD(the sexual obsessions and by the far the hardest to purge)all by myself. It took longer and was scarier. I didn't tell my parents and when I did they didn't believe me so I did research and bought self help books. The idea that I did this is a real ego booster. Can you imagine suffering a mental disorder with no help at all? I still have it and I own that I can defeat it one day! =) Sarah!
