Do i struggle from ocd?

10 Comments

is it normal that have a constant need to blink in my left eye and i get gross thoughts about germs or blood and cannot handle some sounds such as chewing scratching etc it puts awful images in my head, i feel like these could be OCD tendencies but not sure as i’m not a particularly neat or tidy but it’s so annoying and embarrassing to be constantly winking at people. it becomes painful as i get cuts where my eye creases from excess blinking and headaches, i worry i will love the rest of my life like this, what is it, is it normal and how can i stop ??

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    I think it's really awesome to come to terms with problems you have & admit to yourself that there's something wrong. That's a giant step in the right direction & it's admirable.

    But man, don't ask the tards on this site to diagnose you. (Most of) These people are all giant fucking retards with mental disorders of their own.

    I know it's an awful, shitty, sucky step, but go see a dr. Someone who can honestly help you & give you the tools to deal with all of this. It can get a ton better. I am related to someone with actual diagnosed OCD, who has gotten help & is leading such a fantastic life that I am jealous.

    You can handle it, just seek help in positive, constructive places, not some internet turd sewer of crazy floaters.

      Dunno why this got downvoted. It is a harsh but fair assessment of the majority of the user base of this site.

    Only a qualified doctor/psychiatrist would be able to accurately answer this.

    I have some qualities people have described as "OCD-like", such as having to do specific things a specific number of times (usually one of my lucky numbers), but it doesn't negatively affect me in any way, it is just a quirk.

    I don't recommend trying to get medications prescribed as one other answer suggests. I highly doubt antidepressants, for one, would do any good for something like this (and they are usually harmful if you don't need them; I know this from experience). Unfortunately, doctors seem to be handing them out like candy right now and a lot of people seem to falsely believe they're harmless magic happy pills that solve all of your problems, which is why I say this.

    Yes that is ocd, the treatment is antidepressants plus benzodiazepines.

      While I don't disagree with you I think that OP needs to see a professional like a psychiatrist. OP would also greatly benefit from seeing a talk therapist, and engaging in some cognitive behavioral therapy.

      I also think OP could greatly benefit from seeing his, or her general practitioner, and not only getting a referral for a psychiatrist, but also a referral for an ophthalmologist as well!

      I highly doubt antidepressants would do anything for OCD. I'd also recommend trying other avenues before resorting to medications, especially for something that seems so harmless.

    Someone with OCD would notice you wrote "struggle from" instead of "struggle with" or "suffer from".
