Playing Path of Exile with OCD

Hello all!

First of all, let me say that this game is awesome, well done GGG!

Unfortunetly, I can't play it because I have heavy OCD :(
I keep deleting and making new character and just can't seem to
just play the game! :(
I even have a feeling that I need to reinstall the game over and over... :(
Why do I do this? Because I'm a repeater, if everything is not perfect,
I repeat things.
OCD has a huge influence on my life, especially my gaming-
it's very difficult...

Dear GGG, I ask you to help us OCD gamers with some kind of option
or feature that helps us play the game... maybe something
that will prevent us to delete character or something like that...
If you do this you will have my eternal gratitude and I think
you will be the first one to do something like this...
It may start a gaming revolution!

Thank you all for reading and understanding!

Try to stop focusing on the character creation and the downloading of the game.

Pick one character and then force your brain to think forward to the clearing of the zones of monsters. It won't hurt you a bit if you need to re-do the zones after you have cleared it, you can CTRL click the instance portal and clear it as many times as you like. Then keep moving forward as you get comfortable enough to leave a zone, then repeat it as necessary. Give yourself a certain number of times (maybe 5 max) you can only do each zone, then try very hard to make yourself stick to it.

Just try to forget you can delete the characters or the game, focus all you can on clearing the zones forward instead.

Have you ever played an ARPG before?
Really, grab your meds and a glass of water. Hold firm onto something then take a look at your inventory. The items just don't tile per-fectly. At all. It's hell. Assuming you always carry portals and wisdoms you can fill your inventory with helms/gauntlets/boots and onehanders plus two helms or one two hander, but then your inventory will have no horizontal simmetry and you'll be forced to leave belts, flasks and currency behind, because those always come in odd numbers and break your tiling. And just forget about vertical simmetry.
Just keep playing on, ARPGs should be used as shock treatment for OCD.
