OCD?


Question Posted Saturday June 2 2007, 12:24 am

here are some things that i do on a regular basis:
you tell me if they sound a little OCD-ish.

1. i have to check that i logged off the computer at least 8 times (literally) like i go downstairs. and then think OMG DID I LOG OFF? or like we'll be going out to dinner and ill make us go all the way back just to make sure i log off. and i always do to.

2. at school i have to go and check that my locker is closed. during the day i have to ask my teachers to go to the bathroom, so i can run and check if its closed, same with PE lockers.

i used to be like that, too. i found that it helped some to write myself a note on my hand or on a piece of paper... "I turned off my curling iron" or "i let the dog back in". that helped reassure myself that i'd done it.

It does sound a little obsessive, but not enough to be OCD. Everybody has little quirks.

The next time you log off, or close your locker, double check to make POSITIVE that you're logged off. Or that your locker is closed. That way if you ever feel that you need to recheck just to make sure, you can tell yourself that you already checked, and it's definitely logged off/closed. Hope it works out ^^.

they couold possibly be symptoms of OCD. I dont think they are severe enough to cause any major problems. I have OCD and i do those things too. If it's really bothering you then talk to a counselor or something. i dont think theres any real reason to worry; but i DO think that those are OCD symptoms.
