> THANK YOU so much for that link! The vast majority of that describes me so freaking well it's amazing. And he describes it SO articulately and accurately. Obsessive-compulsive personality-- what a curse.
> Daizy thanks for your comments also. Do you (or Janejj) (or anyone else) feel that you have this (OCPD)? Have you found anything to be helpful?
> Finally, especially as there are probably no decent CBTherapists around this area, are there ANY meds that would be helpful for this?! Paxil was to no avail. i'm thinking about Nardil if i choose anything. What do you think?
> i dont know. i'm almost 23 (!) and i've wasted my life. What's a pathetic soul to do?

>I know how you feel I'm 20 and stumbled upon that article awhile back. It struck me... because a lot of it was me. I also have Social Anxiety Disorder and Depression... social anxiety for me is prominent. I think it's what caused my OCPD symptoms. As far as medications... I really don't know. I haven't had much of any luck with everything I've tried. I don't think Ssri's will help at all. Have you tried Anafranil? I've heard of some success with it. Other than that, Nardil's been said to be good.
