Yes, the same thing happened to me. When I was younger I began to experience OCD-like symptoms such as these. Then the thoughts graduated to me over analyzing every thought that entered my head. For example. my husband would be 5 minutes late, and I would have myself convinced that he was doing someting he shouldn't have been, with no reason to believe he was up to something. I went to the Dr, and was presribed Paxil. Do not go on Paxil. It is torture to get off of, and makes you gain weight, and makes you feel very little emotion. She switched my medication to Welbutrin and I feel like I used to. My thoughts are controled, but I still feel emotion. Please visit your Dr. You will be so happy you did..

You need help.

Yes, this is a common symptom of OCD.

I cant stop answering questions

Yep it happens to me too, and also if I do something like hold my breath or something mabee something good will happen

Yes, this is indeed a common symptom of O.C.D., much like what i went through myself. For me medication really helped, but everyone is different. I do however feel it is important to seek treatment.

OMG i do a similar thing...like when im burshing my teeth or in the shower or doing watever.

although usually im like "if i do that one a guy will come at me with a knife when i walk into my bedroom" its kinda creepy now that i think about it lol but..

why does it happen? well sweetie, your brain is just looking for a way to wake up and and get you to either start doing something(acimplish a goal, even if its just a little thing) or stop dping something. Your brain knows how you will react to such a "prayer" and thats why u do it.

See a doctor: ASAP !

I kind of know what you mean. It's difficult i know but you can stop these voices in your head or just ignore them, you kind of say things in your mind then try to over ride it with other voices to make you feel better.. Basically it's an insecurity thing also, nothing bad will happen no matter how much you think about things or hearing these voices in your head...
Don't let it worry you too much..
It's your subconscious thoughts ruling your conscious thoughts and the only way to get over them the best you can is to put yourself in the positions that you don't want to be in... It's easier said than done, but this is what you need to do to help you try and move on with your life.. Nothing is as bad as you think it is...

this is how they first learned i had ocd when i was 8 because i told my mom about them i think u schold go see a doctor about them

It's tough to have ocd. I know. I'm stress right now cause of it. It is something pills Itself can't stop. you have to stop the behavior yourself. I still can't stop the behavior.

I have OCD, I went to the doctor about it for the first time today, I was so scared but it's such a good feeling that I'm finally getting help. I don't hear those kinds of voices telling me people will get hurt, but I do talk to myself and tell myself off for being silly etc. Then I get frustrated and upset and takes even longer to break the pattern
