See, I think I have OCD, and it really bugs me. It's starting to interfere with alot of things. Like when I pray at night, I feel the need to repeat some lines several times, and I always have to have my TV remote facing a certain way exactly, and all this other stuff, it's really bugging me, I have talked to my parents about it before but they don't really seem to get how much it interferes with my life, because most of the stuff I do is behind their back, like rearranging stuff and whatnot...

What I want to know is do any of you have OCD and what are some of your symptoms (if you feel comfortable sharing)? And where did you go to get tested for it, if you're undergoing treatment what kind and is it helping? Thanks so much if you help, I will rate if it's good advice!

Thx

my old biology teacher had really really bad OCD. In his room, everything was labeled and the board was always clean. He cleaned his board with soapy water and a sponge (which he cleaned after cleaning the board) after every mark he put on it. Every mark was also done with a ruler unless it was written, then it was in caps. I don't think he really realizes what he's been doing which is the worst sort of OCD.

Generally, it's not something that's disruptive or bad. I would embrace your OCDness. Everyone's a little OCD. I use plastic bags and tupperware in my lunch box so things don't get crushed and I don't have to wash the tupperware. So I wouldn't worry too much if I were you.
