No I don't. Although now I can see that to some extent I've always had a touch of it even as a child (eg if I lost something I always had to go through my room in a methodical way with a fine tooth comb until I found it) but it only really became a problem during pregnancy and the first few months after. We had problems concieving which I think triggered it because once I was pregnant I became completely terrified something would happen and became completely hygiene obsessed and obsessed with germs and it continued for about a year after while I felt in my head that the baby was "fragile and vulnerable" but I'm fine now except I sterilise my hands with gel if I use a public loo because so many people don't wash their hands. I should have got help for it when it was bad but I was so terrified of germs the GP surgery was my worst nightmare! - all those ill people!

I didn't know you could get medication for it I thought it was all CBT! I'm sorry to hear you have a bad case of it, it is such an awful thing to go through, glad to hear the medication has helped you with yours.
