Dear Ramakrishnan..
You seem to be thinking too much about your OCPD ...
Kindly answer some of my questions
1. Who diagnosed you as having this problem , was it a certified psychiatrist or a GP?
2.What were your chief complaints .i,e. problems which made you to go to your doc?
3.Are you on any treatment Right now?
To tell you my friend
If your problem has been diagnosed by a proper specialist ,is not going to cause any danger to your life.So good thing is that you don't have to start searching for life saving measures.
I would suggest you to start the treatment at once,and attend your psychiatrists counselling sessions. I hope you will consult a psychiatrist and get yourself cured . All the best,,,
