Hi i think a lot of you know me i have a lot of health issues if you look at my profile, i have been told many things by doctors and specialist, i know over the years you get to know your own body and mind, but if your body has been pumped with thousands of different drugs over the years , you begin to wonder what side effects it has done to you, all my problems have been mental, brain tumour, severe migraines, eating disorders, body dysmorphia disease, one not ibs, one doctor said he thinks i have IPD, which when i was told was very new and no one knew much about, but all through my life i had battles with my mum , which lead me to leave home at 17, she was a control freak, in everything i did or said, wore or my thoughts and ambitions , the house was immaculate, we were immaculate , from our look and our home, even leaving home does not leave your mind!, but it has become an obsession, if nothing perfect  i feel sick inside , i will not leave the house till it is, no one can come in my house unless its perfect, is this any thing to do with OCD, i really want to change, i am seeing a cara counsellor but that is for my other problems , can anyone help on this one please,

    Hi Jay to be honest I haven't a clue.  I know OCD can be a symptom of anxiety and I believe it means everything has to be in order and that you suffer some form of 'magical thinking' in that if you do this or that you will keep your loved ones safe.  If you are seeing a counsellor surely this is the person to ask? 

    On the other hand it could just be related to your mother and is something you need to work on.  My mother was very houseproud and tidy but I am quite the opposite and am a slob.  I am aware this is some sort of a rebellion against my mother but have never worked on it.  

    I hope you find some answers Jay.  Take care sweetheart.  Bev xx
