I have OCD w/ intrusive thoughts. Ive always felt I could tell my doctor anything and she is so great, but right now I am suffering from an obsession that involves her. I can't stop worrying about her getting older (she's about 60, I am 19). Everytime I think of her now, I imagine her with tons of gray hair and wrinkles. She doesnt actually look very old, Im just obsessed with the idea of her getting to be this old lady in the future and me losing the person who has been most helpful. How do I bring this up without hurting her feelings? She doesnt really seem old at all, its just the OCD talking...Anyone had a similar experience???

meredith i havent had this happen but i have had similar things happen. what i really think u need to do is tell her about this new thing because if anyone could understand or help u it would def be her. hopefully when u do this she will ne able to know ur ocd better and what may trigger things and such, it should be a big help for u thats why id do it.
