Am I going crazy!?

Question: I feel as if I'm going crazy. I have these odd fetishes I'm afraid to tell anyone about because they're weird such as touching the floor with the tip of my "fat thumb" or that sometimes I have to do things twice until I think of a certain thing. I even have anxiety about my hair and if it isn't perfect I cry and waste hours of my day complaining about it. Oh, am I going crazy? WHAT DO I DO AND WHAT DO I HAVE!?

Answers:
Definitely OCD with a smattering of BDD (Body Dysmorphic Disorder) by the sounds of it.

Go to your doctor and ask for a referral to a therapist that specializes in these areas.

If you don't seek out help soon you'll find your whole life is consumed by both of these disorders, they often get worse if left untreated.

Don't panic, just get some help.

OCD. Try a psychiatrist and therapist. Paxil works wonders. Good luck.
