OCD Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Still torturing Me at age 71

I'm sitting here so miserable with really nothing to be miserable about accept the Obsessive Compulsive disorder I suffer from which is raging non-stop through my defective brain like a California wildfire.  Oh, man, does this hurt.

I'ts all good usually.  But, not tonight.  Well, she got out of bed for a snack. I followed her to the kitchen.  I love strawberries
