Answer
I want to remind you that you can contact me again.  I understand your anxiety.  I have OCD.  I use to go to bed thinking about something and wake up thinking about it also.  I sometimes will even dream about it.
I am much  better these days.  I have decided I really don't want to waste time on things I can not control.
Do you know how much I have missed out on?  How much you are missing out on?
WOW!  I wish I had that time back.  But, I can not change yesterday.  I still find myself obsessing over things I did ten years ago.  Things no one but me probably even knows I did or remembers.  Nothing big, maybe it was something I said or a stain on my shirt, but it is on my mind.  I am not cured, but I am better, I would like to help you if I can, so anytime, drop me a line.
Good luck to you.
