I wouldn't right off the bat assume you have OCD
My view on "OCD", is that everyone has some kind of it, whther it be as simple as avoiding cracks in the ground, or having to cough a certain number of times
Don't worry about it, if your IQ is as high as you're saying it is, then you shouldn't have anything to worry about academically
You won;t be put into special classes even if you do have OCD, you'll probably have to go to some therapy, that will help you try and drop the habit
I had tapping OCD when I was in the 1st grade, I made myself stop because I knew it was foolish to be tapping stuff all the time until it "felt right"
It just takes will power, try and stop the counting of syllables all togethor, focus what you're doing on something else
Start another bad habit, yes, a bad one
Like biting your nails, this will stop the counting, and you'll have a less severe "problem"
Look, stop worrying, the more you stress, the worst things are going to get, so do your best to calm yourself, and you should be fine
I do the same thing only instead of counting i just flex back and forth or rock back and forth or think up and down or move me legs to the left then to the right. In my head I say "back and forth" or whatever, etc. I guess I never really told anyone that I did that although some people comment on me when I'm "twitching" or rocking back and forth. Try relaxing, I don't do it as much when I take my nerve medication because it relaxes me. Good Luck. Sorry I'm not more of a help.
YOu need to talk to a dr, family first perhaps, then a mental health professional. Have you checked out websites on this issue? You need factual information, not the well-intentioned answers of us laymen.
Try nami.org, behavioralconnections.org, or just google OCD.
Certainly sounds to this laymen like you have OCD symptoms. I have been to the sites I mentioned, and lots of others for research for family issues.
