Message:		Hello there. All I can say is wow, to your story. I'm not a DR so I can't give you advice in that regard, but with that said I do hope that you get some help with your problem sooner rather than later. However, I do have a "theory". Not sure if I'm right or not (just basing this on my own expirience) that there "might" be a Link to OCD or obsessive thoughts and this Munch Syn. and fac. type disoders. My family has what I "believe" is a Munch. Syn, MBP, and Fac Dis. But there's also an apprent issue with OCD with them as well. I wouldn't normally believe there would be a link between the two. However, from time to time I suffer from odd obsessive thoughts myself. In that regard I know how distracting and difficult some of the thoughts can be since I've felt them first hand. So, I kinda sorta see both sides of the fence (if that makes sense) It's hard to explain. One gets these thoughts in their head and it's hard to get them out even if they are the bizzarest of the bizzarest thoughts. With that said that's just my thoughts and theory on myself. I hope that helps knowing you aren't a lone. However, you would better served seeing a Professional DR in your area ASAP, so you don't do any harm to yourself. All the best to you my friend. Please let the board know how things are going for you. Take care, S
