I am pretty much a "pure o" but I am starting to think my hypochondrisis and constant search for a "cure" is my compulsion. It has been questioned if I am biplor but it is hard because I have anxiety for sure, and ocd type stuff.

My anxiety is to the point I am numb due to ocd. This is terrible as my body clock is out of whack.I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but a light box really helped me reset my body clock. Now I have normal sleep hours.
