I don't know why I do this stuff but I do, okay for a few years I always have to touch something an even amount of times or even like if I touch a table I have to touch it twice or I will get upset. I also I always have to check things more than once I can't stop it, it's hard to... Please help. :) is this normal?
Sounds about right , you should get a doctors diagnosis. I suggest you look into CBT- cognitive behavioral therapy , proven to be more effective than any meds and is long term unlike meds. Good-luck , I hope you can get on top of it before it gets out of hand .
Yes you have OCD but to be perfectly honest it doesn't seem that extreme i.e it wouldn't really effect your life. It can easily turn though so be careful, if it gets worse I'd consider seeing somebody about it
I"m so tired of people saying they have OCD just because of a couple of compulsions. Most people have a couple of quirks. Only when your compulsions interfere with being able to live your life how you want to is it considered a disorder.
I'm tired of all of this self-diagnosis. If you really think you've got a problem, then see a doctor. He'll probably just diagnose you as a hypochondriac.
thank you for saying that, i'm so tired of it too. my father clinically has OCD, and it's extremely debilitating. he easily spends 4+ hours a day on his rituals. it's a terrible, terrible disorder to have and for some reason everyone thinks it's "cool" to have OCD. the term is thrown around much too loosely. i wish people would stop going around saying "OMG i have OCD" just because they're organized. stfu for real!
If it takes up more than an hour of your day it could be a problem. Best of luck
I've had this and It goes away with practice and training your mind to stop feeling fear and worry and paranoia. Just practice and pray to God it will be done.
Sounds OCD-ish. If it's bothering you, seek professional help so you can get a better understanding of it.
