Do you think i have OCD?!
Question: Do you think i have OCD.?
after researching it i think it explains why i am the way i am, except for one thing. I have to take specific amounts of steps to places say 10 steps to the lounge or i have to other rooms in the house before i count up to a certain number and i have to beat the microwave before it beeps otherwise i think i will die, but afterwards i think thats silly. I scream at people who talk about aids and Maleria and it often makes me feel sick. I cant have bumps on my skin i have to get rid of them. But heres the catch my rooms pretty messy. But when i clean it it has to to be perfect soo... what do you think. Oh and i always have to be re-assured of things and triple check everything.Health Question & Answer
Answers:
yeah, you don't have to be a neat person to have OCD, not all people with OCD are perfectionists or germaphobes. It's a disease where you have mental obsessions( nagging fears) and physical compulsions(rituals, tasks) that you have to complete to relieve your anxiety of these fears. These have to interfere with your daily life and cause you a great deal of stress to be diagnoses OCD. But that definitely sounds like OCD to me, I am no doctor though, but if those things are true, you should see one. Compulsive skin picking is a sign, most of those things you mentioned are signs. Go see someone, OCD doesn't treat itself. It takes medication and therapy to treat, and it's a life long process many times. Good luck. Again, I'm no doctor, I just have mental illnesses and read about them a lot.Health Question & Answer
Probably... the 10 steps thing definitely sounds like OCD.
I'm kind of like that, but for me, if I have something in the microwave the time I enter in has to be a multiple of 5, or if I take the food out to stir it, I have to stop it at a multiple of 5. Same thing with volume on a tv or stereo.Health Question & Answer
