They say OCD is just a nagging doubt in the persons mind.

I know. He was made redundant a couple of years ago and is really struggling now to find a job. He's good at what he does but, in interviews, the first thing people want to do is shake your hand ... and that is just impossible for him. He tells them he has OCD but most employers can't see through the 'you must be barking mad' thing. Such a shame.

My gran suffers from OCD and gradually over the years its got a little better but its very difficult thing. I think everyone has small touches of it, but when it takes over everything its sad. She won't get on any sort of public transport and if you've been on a bus or a train, you're only allowed to sit on a certain chair. Sometimes its triggered by stressful events where people can't cope so that's their way of dealing with it.
