It sucks but the alternative is worse.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I don't think it is possible to explain to anyone who does not have OCD what it is like.  You have to live it to know it and I wouldn't wish that on anyone.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;N&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;I&gt;Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt.
