From a clinical interview with Clarabell: I can't do anything without my little "habits." They invade every aspect of my life. Counting really slows me down. I wash my hair three times as opposed to once, because three is a good luck number and one isn't. It takes me a long time to read, because l'd count the lines in a paragraph. When I set my alarm at night, I have to set it to a number that won't add up to a "bad" number. Getting dressed in the morning is tough, because I have a routine, and if l don't follow the routine, I get anxious and have to get dressed again. I always worry that if I don't do something, my parents will die. I have these terrible thoughts of harming my parents. It's completely irrational, but the thoughts trigger more anxiety and more senseless behavior. Because of the time I spend on this stuff, I can't do the things that are most important to me. Diagnosis? Matching symptoms?
