I think I might have OCD. I think I might have OCD. Just making sure you know I think I might have OCD. What are some of the symptoms (did I spell symptoms right?) of OCD? What are they?
<b>Obsessions</b>- unwanted, repetitive, and intrusive ideas, impulses, or images
<b>Compulsions</b>- repetitive behaviors or mental acts usually performed to reduce the anxiety or distress associated with obsessions
<b>Common obsessions include</b>:
-Persistent fears that harm may come to yourself or a loved one
-Unreasonable concern about becoming contaminated
-Unacceptable religious, violent, or sexual thoughts
-Excessive need to do things perfectly
<b>Common compulsions include</b>:
-Excessive checking of door locks, stoves, water faucets, light switches, etc.
-Repeatedly making lists, counting, arranging, or aligning things
-Collecting and hoarding useless objects
-Repeating routine actions a certain number of times until it feels just right
-Unnecessary re-reading and re-writing
-Mentally repeating phrases
-Repeated hand washing
There are so many other symptoms too. You probably do have OCD, since you wanted to make sure we knew you had OCD by mentioning it more than once and making sure "symptoms" was spelt right.
