Hey All,

This is my first post!

I have OCD in many forms, counting is the main one, but washing of hands and scrapping of skin to make it clean is another. But now just recently I have thought that maybe the way I have to keep reorganizing things might be another, as I find no matter how much I organize things I end up changing them over and over again.

I was 10 years old when it started. I sat in music class with my flutephone in the back row when I suddenly had a burning pain on the crown of my head.

I am a 21 year old male, and currently a graduate student. When I was younger, probably about 10, I was diagnosed with clinical depression.
