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!
do I have OCD?
