It doesn't have to make sense it's how u feel

And if three feels right than so be it. Mine was even numbers

And sets, very complex but common among OCD.

happened when your OCD was bad, what do you mean? She has been in therapy and

has made breakthroughs but I'm not sure why it would be bad. Why the number 3?

the same - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Exposure and Response Prevention

(CBT with ERP). But the " medication " part for treatment would start differently

than with " typical " OCD. At his age, so much strep goes around schools, just

thought I'd mention it if he's been sick prior to the onset.

experience OCD everyday and see if any of this sounds familiar to you.
