Now there's a disorder with some real positives! Assuming it isn't so extreme that you can't leave the house or get anything at all done. But a mild to moderate case has some real upsides. It's the one I play up for my employers while downplaying the others. When I was on Luvox, I used to miss my OCD in ways. Not that I missed anxiety or panic attacks. But I missed that constant running commentary on my day playing in the background and telling me (in the middle of the night of course) what I had forgotten to do or any mistakes I made. Sure it was wrong a lot of times. But it was right often enough for it to give me a measure of security.
What do you see as the positives to your OCD?
