The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep. - Robert Frost
That's the real issue.... You are not discussing it. You post your feelings, get great advice (for over 13 years) and nothing changes (in some ways it's worse and/or evolving). The next day, whether it's on this forum or others, you're right back into the same pattern. Sure, you might throw a bone and tell us how you resisted the urge to replace a bin for a day but in reality, it's just to feed the flock so you continue to get food for your dragon. That pattern is painfully obvious. As has been pointed out, The forums are an integral part of your OCD.

You keep mentioning 13 years let me tell you when I joined in 2006 it was only a year after I had an ambulance called to the cinema due to a panic attack. For months after it I couldn’t go out with one of my ex’s I never got around much a trip to the local shops was hard for me. I have lots of regrets about that but I’ve not had ocd for 13 years so it’s unfair to judge when you were not on these forums. Given I can go 1,000 miles by train let tell you in 2006 this would never have happened so perhaps people should offer some credit as there is people still calling ambulances for panic attacks. It was actually the cinema which called as they had no medical history and I never had panic before so they had to check me out
No comment it seems so despite being house bound in 2005/06 seemingly I’ve made no progress.
You sound like you are trying to convince yourself....
Progress from panic in 13 years.... yes..... progress from mental health disorders in 13 years.... no just a different disorder

Agreed... Even a brief scan of of the thread history shows it and sadly, some of the past issues still strongly persist and the OCD theme has been evident since nearly the beginning. The dependence on internet forums is very evident. I find it interesting as well that when your behavior is challenged, all of a sudden all irrationality goes out the window and you gather your thoughts in a very cohesive way to defend your dragon. It's like being in a co-dependent relationship with yourself and your mental illness.
