Is there need/reason to work on all of your OC symptoms?

[GaryF]

Just curious, now that I have my nifty new diagnosis, is there a reason to work on all of your symptoms? e.g., a handful of my obsessive compulsive things don't really bother me or impact my life. I'd rather just work on the actually dangerous/problematic ones (I've got enough of those). I suppose I can ask my therapist tomorrow.

well if they bother you then yes its worth it to rid them, but if they don't then no

Thanks. My therapist seemed to want to focus on the "low hanging fruit," so to speak, but I got her instead to pick something I wanted to manage better.

Thats good, you should start from the worst and go down I say, but im not a professional
