OCD loves potential problems and will convince kids that there is a way to prevent any and all possibilities. So it is no wonder that OCD has latched onto allergies.

When you have OCD you hand over all power to a glitch in your brain. You allow OCD to construct rules, beliefs and compulsions that hold you prisoner. Unfortunately the more you feed this OCD glitch, the bigger the glitch grows. The rules morph, the OCD compulsions shift, and the cycle becomes never ending.
