Im like that too! If i see one magpie it ruins my whole day - i know it shouldnt as magpies are only supposed to be unlucky coz they steal your shiny stuff, if you dont have shiny stuff on you then your fine - i cant help just clinging to everything to make my mind feel at ease.
Reading your whole post is like reading about my life - thank you so much!
OCD is a horrible trap and one very hard to break free from. Lets hope one day we BOTH make it out the other side!
