do you have or think you have OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder)?


Question:
hi, i think i have it, mild though, as it doesn't rule my life really.

what do you obsessivly do/symptoms?

mine are: counting things over and over, having to even things out, like if i stand on one foot i'll have to stand on the other, and a bunch of other stuff.

Answers:
I used to have it a lot. I washed my hands ALL the time and took like 3 or 4 baths a day. Couldn't eat anything that I didn't feel was clean enough, ended up crying all the time because I thought I was going to die of some weird sickness.had it for a long time but never took any medication for it. Eventually it went away on its own.

Other Answers:
i have it very mildly, i have to wash my hands, i cant step in cracks on the pavement and when im bored i fill in the circle bits in words in my text books, but ADHD is just made up by the government so parents have an excuse on parents evening for why their son is brought up badly

Oddly enough, I'm the same way. I do the same things you mention, plus i always finish stairs on my right foot, enter doors on the right foot, avoid cracks and so on. I don't think I have OCD, because it doesnt interfere with my life or my ablility to function in society or get things done.
OCD is an anxiety disorder, and According to my Psych book, these kinds of habits are more of compulsions than obsessions. An obsessive person would have recurring thoughts on such things as death, obscene behavior, or recurring impulses. An obsessive compulsive person would have both. Don't know if that helps any.

yea unfortunely i have a small case of ocd like when i have to go from one room to another i have to count 8 time before i leave the room or ill feeel a high level of anixety
