O-C-D
obsessive comulsive disorder
i cant define it so i will give you webmd's defenition!
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a type of anxiety disorder that causes you to experience obsessive, unwanted thoughts and to compulsively and repeatedly perform tasks to try to get rid of those thoughts.
Some common obsessive thoughts include excessive neatness, fear of germs, or worrying that you might think bad thoughts. A few common compulsive behaviors include frequent hand-washing, repeatedly checking zippers or buttons on clothes, and constantly cleaning or organizing things.
The effects of OCD range from mild to severe. OCD can greatly impair how you function socially, at your job, or in school

I am sorry I havent updated in a while!!!
my OCD continues to get better with each passing day!!! sometimes it is scary when i zone out into my 'different worlds' where i imagine people are 'trying to kill me' but, ya know, nothing is ever scary when you have faith, and i do have faith.

I am hoping for the best! And I'll keep a prayer for this, I really will.
Always keep your hope, and never give up.

Lexapro isn't working. Although helping my panic attacks, it's increasing my OCD. Sticky situation  |

Yeah, I have family that had/has OCD. So it runs in the family, but not very much, and besides I don't think that it's heritable.
