OCD


Question Posted Tuesday November 20 2007, 5:46 pm

I am pretty sure I have OCD. I have a high amount of the symptoms of OCD. This is not a problem for me. I have a very mild condition, and often simply perform miscellaneous acts, like closing doors on my way down halls, subconsciously straightening books, desks, etc. I have not been officially diagnosed with OCD, though. The problem is, I get great anxiety on whether I have OCD or not. I stress constantly, and check every day to check symptoms, compare my symptoms with other anxiety disorders, and so on. I often get like this, checking over and over again for things like making sure my alarm clock is set, and check maybe 5 times a night. I can deal with this myself, but having to check to see if I actually have something wrong with me?

i think your normal. OCD is where you do these things because you get a feeling that soemthing bad might happen. or you dont like change and so you do things repeatedly. i think your fine!... next time you are at the doctors you could always ask though..

.I know this would be a difficult thing to deal with.I know I get stressed alot,it is a way of life.You just might have a lot going on in your life.That could explain it.We all obsess over lots of things,though such as:boys,cleaness,and tons of other things.But,remember,God made you just the way He wanted to.You can't mess with His perfection.

well, maybe you're worrying about it so much that its causing you to worry, just keep in mind: this is no big deal. it just means you're gonna be really tidy and stuff. who cares if you have OCD?? you shouldnt. i have ADD and i'm not worried. all my friends know that they should be patient if i wonder off and what-not. just let your friends know that your always gonna be straightening their books and stuff. again, OCD is no big deal.

Even though you can deal with this, it wouldn't hurt for you to see a doctor about this. Maybe they can help you deal with it better.
As for anxiety, try meditating. That is a great way to relieve stress and anxiety.
