Thanks, you guys. I appreciate the feedback. Yeah, it's possible I might have something along the lines of a Pure O OCD. A bit of a less common one, apparently, but it seems possible. I do think the counting is an avoidance strategy. That as long as I count, these things that terrify me won't happen. Makes me very, very, very anxious just writing this. But I do want to get better, as it is a bit debilitating to have to constantly count everything.

So, I'll look into it some more and ask my pdoc what he thinks. I am pretty good at CBT, which is one of the treatments, appraently. The other, the exposure therapy thing, that just totally terrifies me. I'm not sure I could do it.
