is itpossible i have ocd?
okay so everyone keeps telling me i av ocd and i was curious about this "disease" so i looked up information on it and was thinking it may be possibly,okay so when i was younger i used to count and spell every thing like going down the highway i would count the cones on the side and i would go by stores and had to spell it quick before i passed it and and i would always step over the cracks in the side walk, i find myself still doing these things but not as much im a very very clean person my rom has to be perfect and my stuff is very orderly and sometimes ill pour something and i have to like pour it before the fridge door shuts and i cant have my mirror facing me when im on my bed... should i maybe go get this checked out or am i being paranoidid?

Ok, so i have OCD. and it used to be a lot worse than it is now. I've leanred to controll it.
Funilly enogh,before i had OCD, I used to do the same things as you do.
And it elad to it. It might not happen with you as we're all different.
You shouldn't worry unless you get anxieties if you dont to the things you find yourself doing.
E.G
if you try not to "count the cones on the side " and you get anxieties afterwards, then try your best never to do those things again.
If you dont get anxieties, it might be just a way of ur body trying to feel theraputic.
Hope this works. x

Honestly, the only time you should be worried about habits like this is if they interfere with your life. If they are bothering you emotionally or mentally then seek help. If they are inhibiting you from being yourself then seek help. If you're very unhappy about them seek help.
Everyone, and I do mean everyone, has odd quirks about them like this. I MUST have the radio and television off so I can sleep properly. My mother MUST have the bathroom or hallway light on to be able to sleep. I know a woman who has to double check her door after she locks it to make sure it locks--every single time she leaves. I like to have my work-things set out at night so in the morning they are right THERE for me to go--otherwise I feel weird about the situation. Every time I go on break at work I wash my hands--that COULD be considered obsessive, but it doesn't bother me and doesn't disrupt my life (and, see, that is what matters in these situations).
See, everyone has "odd" things about them that doesn't seem normal... :) and it's okay.
If it isn't interfering with you, relationships, communication, or happiness then, seriously, don't worry about it.
Relax about the situations and just be happy. Don't seek solutions to problems that don't really exist. Personally, if I were you, I'd forget that I ever even thought that any of the above could be considered a DISORDER (not "disease").
You're a human being :) that's all.
If you have any more questions please feel free to ask me! :)

Never say you have a disease unless you have been diagnosed. Go get tested and see. Assuming things are not the best way to lead life.

I think you might have a mild case of OCD. But if it doesnt stop you living a normal life it usually isnt something to be worried about. I had a very very mild case when i was young but now im over it. If you cant NOT do these things and they effect how you live then its probably something to speak to a doctor about.
