OCD &amp; PTSD: You need support as you deal w/this. Please get a local or HealthTap clinical psychologist who specializes in OCD and/or PTSD to help you. See a book called "The Boy who couldn't stop Washing" by Rappaport for some self-help. You are not "crazy" but are dealing w/trauma and a neurological situation. Peace and good health.
