have had OCD/GAD for 35 years, have seen many shrinks and taken many meds. At one time, was diagnosed with BDD, Social anxiety, some tricholitillmania (sp?), and depression in addition to OCD/GAD. Also thought I had PTSD at some point in younger life. I have lived in NY, CT, MA and now NH. I have a BS in Marketing from a small private college just outside Boston. I worked in sales/marketing in the hi-tech field. Now "retired" due to decades of severe to extreme cases of OCD and GAD.

At 50 yrs old, no longer play sports, but loved playing basketball, tennis, snow skiing, water skiing, softball and football until my late 20's/early 30's. Like to talk and read about politics, financial mkts, US history, world history, psychology, real estate and cars. Not much into music anymore but still like rock n roll and some top 40 (U2, the who, tom petty, van halen, fleetwood mac, 38 special, steely dan and more). Like to work out as much as possible ( less than more these days!) and would love to feel better and work again and travel.
