On 'Obsessed!' (Mon., 10PM ET on A&E), Cindee's compulsive disorder isn't the most obvious. She exercises regularly. So what? Well, she must exercise every day, for three hours at a time. When instructed to do only a half-hour on the treadmill, her illness is clear.When asked what she's thinking, Cindee replies, "I need to go more, and I can't. Somebody's stopping me, and it kinda pisses me off." The symptoms she rattles off include "dry mouth, churning stomach, head rambling ... It's like I can't focus. My heart's beating; I can't control my hand," she says as it begins to shake.
The therapist says, "Cindee's anxiety was extremely high. It was above a 10 on a scale of zero to 10." Does she work through it and reach a state of calm?
