Answers:
I have OCD. Not a mild case or an extreme case, but a pretty intrusive-on-my-daily-life case. I'm exact about everything, I have to be. I freak out if I look at a clock and it says like 12:01, 12:29, 12:59, etc. I have to wait until it turns to the next minute before I am satisfied. When I go to school and have to bring books home I have to have them in a certain way or else I cannot leave. I feel like people are staring at me at all times of the day. I can't stand backwash in a drink or eat after/drink after someone else, no matter if they are a relative or close friend. After going to the bathroom and washing my hands, I cannot touch the door handle or lever on the towel dispenser thing with my hand, I use a napkin to open the door and dispense my paper towel before washing my hands. I don't really do rituals before I can leave a room or anything, but my OCD does affect my life. I wish I could say no one knows I have it, but that isn't true. Everyone in my class knows I have it, and they laugh at me because of it. I can't help it. A bad experience led me to who I am today. I wish I could be "normal", but I am not. After eating, I cannot have one of the restaurnat's complimentary mints.Urine mints. I get obsessive over little things like television programs (Gilmore Girls) and drinks (Dr. Pepper) very easily. When someone comes up too closely, I flinch/twitch. I can't look people in the eye and I can't have people looking me in the eye. If someone is too close or in too much of my space, I freak out and back up. I'm not on medication, but I like medication and fire more than I probably should. I talk to myself frequently as a result of OCD.

I had hyper-responsibility OCD, but did exposure therapy and took medication, and still take medication and am doing fine.
When I was in the worst days of my OCD, I would stay in bed to avoid OCD stuff.

Hey, I thought it was funny.
Haha, Lainey's retarded!
I have it.. I also have many other things.. I rather sleep all the time. I feel that my dream life is almost better than the real thing.. Though I have a son and a great wonderful bf. Its hard to have, and even harder for others to understand the things you do, and why you do them. I wish you good luck..

If you ever want to talk to me, just email me a question, and Ill get back to you. Have a great day..
I have a bad skin-picking prob on my feet and hands that is worse than others some days. Although it doesn't sound bad, it quite can be and I bleed quite often. And it can take up a lot of my time. I have tried lots of things but nothing has helped. I have started exercsing and that has taken off the edge a bit.
Are you on medication? I am on effexor xr which helps with ocd but never quite 'cures' it.
Okay, I looked it up. No I don't have it. But, apparently a close friend of my twin does.
Yes.but, mine aren't too bad.and don't pay attention to ignorant people who have no idea what they are talking about, especially those who just come on here to harass people.
I think I have a mild case. I know I put things in my book bag but when I'm driving I check my bag about 10 times, until I say stop it, wash my hands, check the locks and stove. One time I sent my advisor 1 email 14 times because I thought that she did not get it. I was so embarrased. But it does not make me not want to get up. I just go on with my day. I saw a special where they gave people medications and showed them how to talk themselves out of it. No one knows that I do stuff like this, at least I don't think they do.
Yes I do and I know a lot of people who suffer from it. Re you on meds for it
My mom, my sister and my Grandmother. I am not sure if they ever wanted to just stay in bed b/c of it. But I have seen what it can do. Don't pay attention to the people on here who are just trying to get 2 points and don't know what they are talking about. I am a Psychology major, and if there is anything I have learned in my studies, it is that there is no one that is 100% mentally healthy. NO ONE! No body is perfect. Good luck on your journey! I would be glad to talk with you if you would like to IM or email me.
