[quote=Anonymous]Hope my little story helps- I have a very dear cousin (more like sister relationship) and her OCD manifests this way most obviously. She has struggled with it since she was a child in different ways and it took a lot of adjustment of meds and therapies through her teens and 20s as her body and mind changed and developed but for the most part she is doing well now. You can tell when her life is particularly stressful though because its always the perfectionism in appearance in ways that no one else can notice that comes out (like taking an extra 90 minutes to get to christmas dinner because she just couldn't leave her mom's house because her makeup and hair weren't "right"), its hard and sad to watch BUT its only a small part of her, and that's important to note once you are on the right path to help. Good luck,[/quote]
