Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

I'm Jen and live outside of Los Angeles, CA., and have had horrible sometimes paralyzing OCD since the age of 9. I also deal with extreme anxiety and clinical depression. My OCD mainly involves obsessing about getting sick with the stomach flu and flu and controls almost everything that I do. Recently, I've been having a lot of suicidal thoughts and am not sure how much the OCD plays into it. I've been in therapy and on meds since the age of 9. I've also had inpatient and outpatient treatments and nothing seems to help or give me hope.

It is a book written by Obsessive Compulsives by Obsessive Compulsives. Feel free to check it out on amazon as well as our webpage.**

I have a very eclectic taste in music. Mostly Rock, Country, Christian Rock, Punk, and Alternative. I am just not a fan of rap/hip hop or r&b. I'm the kind of person that likes to listen to the lyrics and find songs that relate to that period of my life.
