Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Options

[NicolynnCat]

do u have an obsessive compulsive disorder?

i do..:( like all time wen i eat or drink somthing i automatically wipe my mouth...even if nothings on it..also when i eat pizza or nething greasy i put a napkin on it to pick up the grease..gross! i hate greasy foods...

[*jooleeah*]

if i kick or stub or do something to one foot I HAVE TO do it to the other... i don't know why, plus i have this thing where when i walk and there are lines in the ground when i step with my right foot it has to be before the line and vice versa with the left foot... i know i'm wierd

Same here =X I thought i was the only one. But i'm pretty sure we don't have OCD. It's just more of a habit.

  ah this topic is really bothering me b.c soo many people don't get it. it's so frustrating when people think that your average things that bother you at times automatically mean that you have a mental disorder.
believe me. you KNOW when you have. i had to go to my mom at age 13 telling i think i have a problem. i take 6 pills in total a day. and it sucks. i am thinking of making a xanga just recording my ocd updates,tips,ideas,thoughts, etc. for those who also need advice concerning this confusing disorder.
i am in the process of relapsing and im going to my therapist soon to get a stronger dosage of meds.
guys, it sucks. it kept me up at night for hours on end. it was embarrassing when other people would notice me fixing things. when people ask me what kinds of things i would do, they would look at me like, "are you kidding me?" and no. im not. it may seem odd and/or funny. but its hell. im sorry, i just needed to get that out.
if you need to contact me regarding this, please do so.
