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

OCD- obsessive compulsive disorder.
What you said ARE the symptoms for it; all OCD is is simply obsessing. Most good students, doctors, and detailed reporters and such have a little OCD, compelling them to do better. There is medicine you can take, but it IS normal(sort of), and a lot of people have it. If it interferes that much, corner your parents, and tell them how much it's stressing you out! Ask if you can get therapy or something of the likes of it.
