OCD can be quite challenging to turn around. Zazen or any Buddhist or other meditations might well he helpful, but medication and/or psychotherapy should possibly be primary - if one possesses the resources. It is be advisable to consult with Western medical and psychological professionals in this matter - and take heed of their advice. ---ED --- In [email protected], Anthony Wu <wu...@...> wrote: > > Kristy, > > Glad you are back.
