Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

I'm not very good at talking about myself,in fact I don't find it easy to talk to people at all until I've got to know them a bit(you talk,I'll listen).I've been obsessed with contamination since I was 10 and have been depressed all my life.
I have worked as a teaching assistant, mainly with children with learning difficulties, and I'm a vegetarian.
