Hey Emily!

I'm a fellow sufferer of OCD, and my obsessions and compulsions used to make me physically sick as well - i'd go dizzy from rolling my eyes too much, and i'd end up beating myself on the head to rid myself of sick thoughts. i couldn't talk to my parents for fear that i'd 'contaminate' and 'curse' them. I know how you feel, and i pray you get better. Practical suggestions... i think you might want to begin medication or a treatment regime that isn't too taxing on your body. prozac worked well for me, just remember not to overdose yourself in the first few weeks, even if you don't feel noticeably better - the effect is delayed. in tandem with that, as i recommended stephanie, you should ignore the ocd. i know its hard and i know it sounds like bad advice, but its the best way out of it, and its the way ive managed to wean myself of medication. persevere! we're all here for you, this community of OCD sufferers, and i hope to high heaven that we all get better.

Love
