If the "sick and paranoid" feeling inhibits your quality of life you should consult a psychiatrist for proper diagnosis and treatment. While these things that you do bring you some relief, it is only temporary until you are faced with the next obsessive impulse. In otherwords, there is no way you can ever be completely happy living with these feelings. Even if you could learn to feel content and just go on with things the way they are, you'd probably drive other people crazy which in turn would affect you also.

As far as having OCD or not. No one here can properly diagnose you, but I can tell you that you have symptoms of OCD. Please seek help, your happiness depends on it.

Every 1/3 people have mild OCD, I learned from a friend that got checked up for OCD. Just go to the doctor and ask, it's pretty simple. Just tell them you're a little concerned with your own habits.
Hope I helped.

My cousin was diagnosed with ocd and I used to hang out with him alot and he did a lot of the same things as you. I know people who are perfectionists and they aren't as extreme as that. Not to like be rude but you really should talk to a therapist and find out.

Yes, I do believe that is a big sign of OCD. I am not trying to be rude, just honest. Maybe you should go and see a doctor...I have heard of multiple "cures" of OCD that help you not do so many Obsessive Compulsive rituals. Hope that helps!

hey wow. ive never heard of ocd. talk to your parents about it. that sounds like a serious obsession if its not ocd then you probably need some therapy (no offense I'm just trying to help) or to talk to someone to find out why this is. get some help, talking to people on lin might not be that exactly. good luck.

It sounds like you do, but I'm not certain. You should tell your parents and make an appointment to the doctor before it gets worse.

Only a doctor can diagnose you but it sounds like you may have it.

Make an appointment with a doctor and tell him all that. He/she will see that you get the help you need for it. :)
