Hi Katie, Welcome!

Your last three lines show you have the right attitude! You will get through this, just keep an eye on that OCD. It's your friend, when you need attention to detail, but don't let it abuse that friendship by trying to take over your life.

I know you realize what I just said, my intent is not to preach, but to give you positive reinforcement. We can all use that, now and then, and you've just had the scare of your life.

So let the knowledge that you did the right thing, and it paid off for you. You just demonstrated good judgement and were rewarded for it. You've got all the tools you need to keep your sanity and OCD in control, just keep a firm grip on that leash in your "hand" and keep on keepin' on.

You go, girl!
