Wow, 5, @Daisydreamer ...I can't remember back that far, but hats off to you for coping with that at age 5.

[ARCVic]

@Clawde could you please clarify what you mean?

[Former-Member]

Hi @Clawde I'm not sure I understood what you meant- could you explain a little more? 

[Former-Member]

The feeling that you have always been somewhat anxious since early on is something I can relate to myself. It must have been hard for you.

[Clawde]

Sorry I thought normally most people keep checking everything a lot, like you said .?

[Daisydreamer]

@Former-Member It sounds like @ARCVic's story really resonates with you 💙

@ARCVic I'm sorry to read of your childhood trauma and how it led to you developing OCD.

My OCD is also as a result of extreme trauma.
