Dear Tristan:

I agree with Nar, that that is “behind these thoughts is deep fear.. it is best to face the fear”. I suffered from OCD sometime in my first decade of life,  maybe I was six. My OCD symptoms were severe when I was a teenager, and significant for more than a decade later.  I’ve done a lot of work facing my fear, the fear that is fueling OCD and other mental disorders, and I believe that I no longer suffer from OCD.  If you have any questions for me and would like me to share further, you are welcome to ask.
