Yes! I always had one OC behavior or another - when it was not the

anorexia thing, it was checking the stove, alphabetizing... I am sure I

was born with pooped adrenals already, I had adrenal symptoms as a toddler.

All a part of thyroid disease, in my opinion, whether indirectly, by adrenals, or even directly, I'm thinking. There are too many of us here with these same symptoms. I've only recently learned how to let go of a lot of things, for my health's sake.

Same for me, . Sometimes it is bad enough to take over my life,

sometimes, like now, just bad enough to keep me not quite normal when

compared to non-OCD people. I used to have bad anxiety attacks too, but

ever since I've been on adrenal support, they are gone. The OCD thing is

still here a little bit though.
