Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 I have suffered from OCD for years. It was really bad during my high school years and early twenties. But then it seemed to almost disappear to only come back recently. I also have severe anxiety at times too. "Dreams are the touchstones of our character."
