OCD?
I think i may have OCD. (obsessive compulsive disorder). I seem to have like scary and gross thoughts and images in my head that I cant make go away and i get like obsessed over it and I cant concentrate. Another thing is I wont eat food thats over 4 days old even if it doesnt get old for another month. No madder what. Another thing is everything has to be clean. As in washed. Like my bes sheats. If they're not I cant sleep in them. Like ill obeses and I cant even sleep, or I wont sleep at all. There are so many things that I obsess over, and I get stressed over. Its so weird. I can name other things but does this seem like OCD to you? <3thanks

i have ocd and i am slowly working on getting rid of it. I have had it for 3 years and It got worse but now its getting better. now my councilor told me there are 4 steps you use each time a promlem i.e unwanted thoughts or obsessions come in your way.
1) Do i really need to waist my time with that stupid little thing in my head telling me that things need to be clean?
2)Oh for goodness sake, im not going to die and besides, its not me that is obsessing, its ocd
3) walk away and carry on with what you want to do. i.e- go and speak 2 someone for about 3 minutes. and then see if your erge has gone down to clean.
4) if it hasnt, force yourself to not let it make you wash or anything.
also... with the thoughts, pretend your mind is a window,, this sounds strange but it makes sence, a cloud DRIFTS past the window, just like a thought drifts into your mind. The window doesnt get anxious and scared that the cloud is there. so it ignores the cloud, and the cloud drifts away. so when you get an unwanted thought, let it come through your mind, and let it drift away. dont think anything of it. nomatter what it says. its not you who is thinking those thoughts, its not your personality its the ocd's <3 hope this helps :)

Yeah it does sound like you do. I have OCD you can get on meds for this or you can try and fight it. Like when you get that craving {kinda feels like a force trying to make you do something} to make sure everythings clean try to fight it and dont let it control you, but if you really think you cant I would ask your mom to take you to get tested for sure and get meds. Good Luck

Some of what you say just sounds like your just a quirky person...nothing wrong with that. There are certaing things that "bug" everyone to a point. I personally have to have all my hangers in my closet facing the right way. My friend used to come over and turn the hanger around to see how long it would take for me to notice then laugh her ass off when i corrected it....lol

that doesnt sound like ocd to me.. maybe something else but not ocd.. ocd is like you have to wash your hands t the same time everyday the same amount of times or you will have a panic atack. it has nothing to do with like washing sheets or eatly food that a few days old. you might have some sort of disorder like ocd but its def not ocd
