Matt, thanks for the advice. I will look into CBT. I mean, I've got to research something, right? I wonder how many OCD'ers are or wish they had been researchers for a living. Hmm.
Yea, I was an existentialist before I ever heard the word, and "angst" is my middle name.
I sincerely appreciate everyone's response; it's more helpful than you can know.
