What is this? Weird problems?!


Question: What is this.? Weird problems.?
i have a few weird things ill do, that is not ALL the time but maybe once or twice a day, sometimes im lucky if its goes longer.. it usually happens really bad when im stressed....

ive done this odd thing since i was like 12, sometimes when i leave the room and cut off a light i have to say "no never no never" and it has to be said right or i will keep cutting on the light and stepping back in the room. i have to make sure when im pumping gas the numbers must be on an even number. i stab the center of my hands because i hate the way they feel... i cant hold hands with my husband because if he touches my hand the wrong way i stab it with my nails. i do the same to my toes. sometimes, when im really, really, nervous.... or stressed.. i have to get a mouth full of spit in my mouth and swallow it over and over while picturing a certain image in my mind... a person sitting near a lake... and it must be the exact picture just right or ill keep making spit and swallowing it until i have cotton mouth.. i sometimes bend my toes in until they hurt because i don't like the way they feel.?.? when i was a young child, i used to scream and cry if someone slid their feet across a carpet.. i would beg them to "stomp their feet" and if they didn't i would throw a fit and cry and cry until they stomped their feet. it used to be so bad i couldn't leave my room for fear of my family sliding their feet... im now 21 and sometimes it will bother me but i ignore it and think of something else...

what could all this be a sign of.? yes i know i have problems, that's why i'm in the mental section right now.

i've never told anyone these things, so it's kind of hard for me to let all this out.Health Question & Answer

OCD bay bee!Health Question & Answer

I have some obsessions like you too...I used to try to change this behaviors so hard, But now i gave up!! everyday, i end up discovering that i have another problem,,like now, you just made me realize that pumping the gas on even numbers is not normal..

So who gives a fcauk, AS long at it is normal to you and makes you feel happy, and doesn't harm you in any way, keep doing it.
i think the problem is, you might feel like "what would other people think if they see me do this weird things, they would take me as an abnormal person"... but thats okay,, just like there are some personal things that you don discuss with anyone, Don discuss this "weird things" with other people. Not because you are scared of them, but because it is your own right to do things that seem normal to you...

But i think you need to stop stabbing yourself, because you are harming yourself. And you need to stop turning the light on and off, only if it is interfering with your normal life, and time. Because you are also harming yourself in other ways that you are not aware of..

Fo real, i wish there was a treatment that lets you stop worrying about others and live your own life however you want it..

It's is classic Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It's not "curable", but you can learn to cope, and overcome some of the irrational anxiety that usually cause people to do things like that. Everyone has habits, or particularities, some of us have more than others, to put it lightly.

Therapy or therapy with medication can be VERY helpful.Health Question & Answer

Sounds like OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). There are many medications out there for this. Can also seek the help of a therapist.

Amazing how we can come up with something as unique as this, but we do.........and the obsessive behaviors can manifest in so many different ways, i.e. excessive handwashing, ritualistically, (turning a door 3 times, etc).

Fortunately, you are aware that there is an issue.Health Question & Answer
