Sure, you may find someone who makes you feel good, but having a romantic relationship doesn't solve all of your problems.

Apparently, real OCD is having overwhelming thoughts all the time, not just occasionally (like how it is in this book). But, some of it is realistic, like how without her medication, Sam could only get a couple hours of sleep every night because she's just thinking. (less)
