OCD and PTSD

OCD - It has gotten to a point now that I am on this forum hoping to find someone or something that can relate and hopefully provide some insight on what I can do before I ruin my marriage with this behavior. I really find it hard to identify the hi and low points when I am having them. My PTSD doesn't help matters. I ask myself was it PTSD or OCD that made me do it. Am I really that weak that I cannot stop before a bad situation develops. Here are a few of the FUN stuff I do everyday

1. Count (EVERYTHING)
2. Memorize license plates of vehicles that pass me
3. Memorizing truck numbers of semis
4. count tile in a room or on a wall
5. count steps and cracks
6. Spend money on items I don't have to have
7. I get SUPER excited about something and obsess about it
8. I feel like I am not doing what I was meant to do in life
I should have been a CHEF but age and monetary responsibility will not allow me to persue my love in life.

But then I think what if you became a CHEF and still felt this way :cry:

I am sick of lying to my wife to try and cover up the stupid things I do, and I am tired of acting on an impulse before I have completely thought out the consequences of my actions. I am hoping the appointment I have coming up in FEB. will help me out. Thank you for caring enough to read my post.
