Hi everyone!

Just thought i'd post a rant about my OCD as it is driving me mad!

I am 20 years old and was diagnosed with OCD in may 2010!
It started off as an obsession with cleanliness and preventing illness and I would wash my hands after I touched anything. I still have this but i tend to find that my obsession changes.

For instance at the moment i am obsessed with thoughts about cancer and death. I also feel scared to tell people about these thoughts incase they come true.
I have to do things that are completely random and make no sense but for some reason reassure me - like touching the wall 3 times before I go to bed and stating things that I do not want to happen before i sleep.

I have a friend who also has OCD and we often find that when we talk about it we tend to begin obsessing over what ever it is that the other person is obsessing over.

I just wondered if anyone else has ever had thoughts about death or loved ones or themselves and if anyone has CBT for their OCD? I start this on tuesday and I'm excited to go but nervous incase it doesn't help and i'm stuck like this forever!
