I don't have to repeat things, but what used to be a big problem for me was ordering. If things were not just 'so' Iwould have to keep moving them until I felt 'good about it'.

Irritating is an understatement I feel like I'm gonna implode if I dont do something the right way and it has to be on the right number or I have to start over, I self medicate with alcohol to numb my brain but am trying to stop I take Zoloft but it only takes the edge off it doesnt stop the thoughts or rituals from repeating!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
