you know alot of times in the past my ocd has caused me great embarrisment and also taken away my ability to concentrate on many things people take for granted. Example i used to travel by train to work,a round trip of 200 km,every day and had to try and hide some of my rituals,eg; i used to stand on one leg and spin around in circles,very embarrising but if i didnt do it i thought the train might catch fire or derail or worse,and when i arrived at work alot of times i was responsible for running a line depot of say 50 ppl,work that out.its astounding what mindset you can have one minute and then because of necessity i cld snap out of it the next.Oh it would still be there but my concentration would be on my work and the welfare of my mates,very few indeed knew of my ocd and assosociated problems,ide cover it up and because i acted silly alot alot of mates never seemed to look any further with me,just laugh all the time,ha ha,when i was installing telephones say,i would do the job in say 1 hour,and the rest of the time i would infest whoever was with me with grime sillliness,i loved my job and always had a laugh and did my work at the same time,.then after ide knock off back to the train station,sometimes thier would be a couple of workmates that would get off the train a ways up the track, i would maybe play cards with em,or depending on how i felt i might find a spot on the train where i could carry out some rituals and hopefully not be seen,those times were tough,but at least i had a gap in the middle where i could work and be silly,and if i didnt i dont think i would be here now,..............................

Hey mate.   When I had compulsions that I felt I had to do at work, I used to pretend I needed to use the restroom.   At least you had your silliness to help cover your behavior....I'm pretty sure everyone assumed I had some kind of gastro-intestinal problem!

It's time for me to take a leap of faith.
