Diagnosing OCD?
Posted Thursday February 24 2005, 3:08 am
I'm pretty sure that I have at least borderline obsessive-compulsive disorder, but where symptoms are listed, the requirements are kind of vague. If anyone who knows more about it could give me a hint as to my own state(severity, etc.), I'd appreciate it. I'll list some symptoms. Note that this if going to be rather long, even though I've cut out a lot of detail and examples.
Hand washing - I'm... fairly obsessed... with dirty-ness... if I touch something that I think might be dirty, then I wash my hands before touching anything clean and/or at the first opportunity. A year or so ago I counted myself as washing my hands ninety times in one day, and I'm sure that it's gotten significantly worse since then....

paranoid?
Posted Tuesday February 22 2005, 1:54 pm
Everytime someone comes up and touches me, I get paranoid and start shaking violently. It's only when I don't know when someone is going to touch me. I get so freaked out, and I hate it. I always start shaking and I can't help it. I have to curl up when I'm shaking to try to control it. And after I stop shaking I end up getting paranoid for the rest of the day. I've always been like this, and I don't know whats going on. Any suggestions on what might help?

I wanted to know if there was a certain career I can go to for these things. I've been getting really interested with the mind and what makes us do the things we do. I've been getting interested in things like, eating disorders, mental illness, personality disorders, insomnia, ADD, OCD, SAD, why people lie and a lot of other things like health, vegetarianism, raw foodists, etc. I want to learn more about this stuff, but not just through the internet. What are some courses that teach you about this kind of stuff and how can I apply what I know through a career? If you know some careers, do they pay well?
I believe I'm suffering from ADD, OCD and SAD. As I'm researching these, I come across ot...

Anti-Depressents
Posted Sunday February 20 2005, 6:09 am
I was wondering if anyone could give me a small list, or even the biggest one you have of anti-depressents aside from Paxil, and Zoloft, I've been on those and they don't seem to help, so maybe anyone who knows of one thats worth a try. I'll rate 5 foe those who try, even if you only have 1 listed.

depressed
Posted Friday February 11 2005, 8:59 pm
Um, hi, I want help... Ok, i have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) which means you're really obsessed with doing things like washing your hands and taking a bath like so many times a day just to get rid of germs (yeah you need to). But sometimes you just do it even if you don't need to. I am also obsessive about locking doors. I think this can turn into depression. I'm trying to fight it. I don't wanna tell anyone but my really close friends cause I don't like expressing myself. And I wouldn't like taking pills or anything cause my mom is a nurse and she said that sometimes it can make it worse. How can i stop myself from doing things i don't really want to do. I do it even though i don't really want to cause I just force myself to. Soo....

Depression and Social Anxiety.
Posted Monday January 31 2005, 9:44 pm
I think I have depression. I've read about symptoms, and I have almost all of them. I've been feeling like this for about 4-5 months now. My dad has depression and I think it runs in his family. But I don't know how to tell anyone. I'm really shy, and I don't think anyone will believe me because I act happy around people even when I feel like dying, if I need to cry then I won't do it when there are people around. If I tell my mum she'll probably say I'm just feeling down or something. I don't know where I can find a counsellor and I'd probably have to tell my mum where I was going if I did. I'd find talking to someone horrible because I feel sick when I talk to people I don't know. I also think I have social anxiety but I don't know what t...
