I've learned to deal with it. But I've noticed that whenever I tell people, they tend to treat me different. Nothing makes me madder than someone asking me if I remembered to take my meds when I'm upset about something. Which is something my mom loves to do. Which is why only a few close friends and family members even know.<br /><br />It amazes me at some of the jobs I used to have and how I was able to deal with them, touching money all the time as a cashier or cleaning the restrooms at a fast food place (that didn't last long.) If there is one good thing about having this anxiety its shown me how strong I can be. I will not let it hold me back... I just might have a few panic attacks along the way. :)<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12575251423110138595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386999024533395972.post-4023207003382782452013-09-16T13:42:08.461-04:002013-09-16T13:42:08.461-04:00I really feel for you.

This will likely never go away but it sounds like you are coping with it well. <br /><br />My husband has some OCD tendencies and they get much worse when he is stressed out.

Show me a normal person and I'll show you someone who is lying. <br /><br />Though I am not OCD, I once met a girl who ended up being a germaphobe but didn't know it at the time. She must've been 17 or 18. The most unfortunate thing? She worked with me at the hotel. Not sure about you, but that's a horrible place to be conscious of germs, what with picking up silverware, plates and napkins, being close to people and handling their things. She quit before long for a much nicer desk job, but while she was there, she was always washing her hands and carried a mini sanitizer. We'd help her out, but it's hard to do when most of your job is involved with the cleaning and reorganizing of things touched by other people.Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11075300256482920618noreply@blogger.com
