ObsessiveCompulsiveDisorder
My best friend has OCD... and she reminds me of it like 24/7. Whenever she leaves the house she asks like over and over if she left sumthin on and such. I keep reminding her that OCD is just that she is detailed and stuff like that (my parents are both doctors and explained it). It's driving me NUTS! help! what do I do?

Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
Talk to her and and explain that ocd is just detailed and stuff but do it privatly dont make a big scene.Tell her that you are getting annoyed and you want to help her. Another reason for this behavoir is because she wants the attention. It must kill her that boys or other ppl would rather be friends with you then her because of her disorder. Remind her that you will help her if she does forget somthing. Tell me how it goes ! Good luck!!

Dont get mad because it is a disease and she can do nothing about it

tell her to shut up coz she is a moron.. and OCD is where you must do something... like somepeople must be clean.. its an obsession.. like gamblers or alcoholics.. its an obsession.. thats all .. its something you can get over.. like i have an OCD.. its revving my car when i get in and start it.. i just cant not do it.. its like i must do it or something will go wrong..

This may sound weird, but thats probably part of her OCD, being obsessed with OCD. Tell her that you know its hard and everything, but if she minds toning it down a bit, and trying really hard not to obsess over it. =)

Wow, that's a tough situation! Well, I'm sorry about your friend, I know OCD is hard to deal with for the person who has it, and the people around them. Basically, it isn't her fault, and it seems like you understand that and everything. So I guess you just have to be patient with her and support her because this is a tough time for her and she really needs a good friend when so many people are probably annoyed with her and walk away. Just let her know you're there for her, but if you start to feel like you're going to explode or something because you're annoyed or whatever, just take a break from her for a day or something. I can totally understand where you're coming from. Just remember she needs you!! Hope I helped, good luck, and God bless!! xoxo *Jesuschick

Tell her that you know she's just acting and to stop. She'll probably get embarrassed and stop. If that doesn't help, ask your parents to print something out from the internet explaining what it is and show it to her. She might not get what it is, even though you keep telling her. She might truly believe that it means she keeps forgetting things and in turn, act like that. She might not even realize she's acting. Be consistant in telling her what it really is though. Good luck!
Hope I helped!

Mess up her stuff and then laugh at her! Just kidding. If she really does have the disorder, I'd give her a break. It's not really her fault that she obsesses over these things, so you should be a bit tolerant. Or before you go somewhere, before she has a chance to worry - tell her everything was turned off and there isn't anything to worry about. Maybe she needs to get help for her problem. Since your parents are doctors, ask them what you can do to help her.

There's really nothing you can do about a disease. Have you talked to her? If so, what did she say? You need to remind her that this guy beats her. She needs advice way more than you do so tell her that I say that this guy beats and she doesn't need to be with him if he does that! It is against the law to beat a spuse/ girlfriend for guys and if he does that, he OBVIOUSLY doesn't love her and now, if you don't stop her, she'll become either physically hurt or mentally hurt and it's up to you. GO TO THE COPS OR SOMETHING! THATS WHAT I WOULD DO! TALK TO HER FAMILY (MOM,DAD,SISTER,AUNT,UNCLE,ETC.) TRUST ME! IT WORKS!

I know you friend has a disorder but try tlking to her telling her to try to not be so compulsive..just to calm down! i mean try and work it out
]
I dont know if you really can do anything about it. Other then constantly remind her. I know it will be annoying. Maybe you could talk to her about it but seh cant really change that-trix

you should tell her NICELY that you no she has ocd but that doesnt mean she has to act like she is.tell her that you understand wen she cant help it because of that but stop trying to act like that. hope i helped
