but i have a question someone might be able to help me with?

i am suffering at the minute with depression gp has diagnosed it as pnd, but i sometimes think otherwise.

something that has been on my mind recently, is how when i was young, i had to do things a certain number of times(touch wood, turn light on/off)7 normally and would also feel the need to 'take' things with me when we went out for day with school etc ie:toilet roll tube etc...dont laugh, im not making this up, just ive started being a bit like this again now..having to do things a certain number of times and re checking everything.

im sorry if this sounds like total tosh, but just wondered if it is symtomatic of anything any of you know about and could it be linked to my depression

don't give up.....i find having bits off OCD affects my driving too...in that i worry that people will 'just walk out infront of me'....!

Also ...when i was very ill 2 years ago....i was convinced that i would just lose control and end up driving down the pavement...mowing down people as i went!

Thankfully....I don't have those thoughts anymore......but to me its another example of how OCD can manifest....it's not just about washing hands!
