Mental issue? Ocd? What does this mean?


Question Posted Sunday June 3 2007, 12:15 am

14/f (very developed and overly mature)

so i've had some abnormal things about my personality for my whole life and sometimes i wonder if it means that I have OCD or social anxiety or something else like that... I'll tell all here:

1. I'm so inhibited and self-conscious that I can't do ANYTHING around anyone else, especially eating (unless it's a meal where every single person is eating and i'm not around any adults of people who i don't feel 100% comfortable around) and if i'm having a snack at a rehearsal (aspiring stage actress) i'll usually feel so uncomfortable trying to eat it in the open that i'll have to go and run into a bathroom stall.

2.I never think about anything that's going on in the room that I'm in- for example if i'm sitting in a rehearsal and no scenes that i'm in are currently being rehearsed(but even if they ARE, i still do this a lot and i can't focus on it) i'll just zone out and think about something irrelevant (it's always a musical) and become so lost in it that someone has to startle me to get me out of it. And I do this very frequently.

3. I can't carry on a conversation. It gets too awkward and I'm so consumed in wondering about what the other person might be thinking about me that I can't say anything else.

4. i'm always upset/worried about something. even if there isn't a huge reason to be upset. my face naturally looks really sad, and when i look in the mirror when i'm off-guard i look liek i'm angry/depressed/bored. and i can't help it.

5. i'm always bored. very few things hold my attention.




so please just tell me what you think is up with my brain.

yeh, i used to have this..always worried about other people seeing you do normal stuff. Its basically because your anti-social. You dont let other people see you alot and you dont socialise with people. Make some new friends and talk to people. it helps. you seem like a quiet and very self-conscious person. you just have to get it into your head that other people are probably not judging you all the time, and if they are it doesnt mean a great deal.

What you have doesn't seem like OCD, because you don't have much quirky, repetitive, behavior.

It sounds like a bad case of anxiety to me.

Go to your doctor.
