Is anyone else like this?!
Question: Is anyone else like this!?
Im 13yrs old and im like the biggest germaphobe ever! and i think i might have OCD!. Is anyone else like this where if there is something on your dresser (like a hairspray can) you cant continue watching t!.v until it is moved or it drives you insane! If your sitting in another room and you dont think that your little brother shut the bathroom light off you have to go turn it off or if you dont it completely bugs you!If your house isnt perfect you get mad and just go in your room and cry!.If you are sitting on the couch and you can see a small object in the corner of your eye you have to move it or you wont be able to concentrate on whats going on on t!.v because your too worried and thinking about that one object thats on the floor!.Is this normal for a 13 year old!? Im mean every-little-thing bothers me and when im at school when im washing my hands and i have to grab the door handle afterwards i always just grab a paper towel and put it over the door handle so i dont get germs on my handsWww@Answer-Health@Com

You definitely have OCD! One thing is to be a neat freak but you mentioned how much it bothers you when you don't know if your brother turned of the bathroom light or not and it's just not one thing but numerous amounts of minor things that get to you!. Visit a psychologist maybe he can help!.!.!. crying about it will only stress you out over nothing, maybe it's something in the back of your mind that causes you to react this way! Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I dont know what OCD is but I've never heard of any one like you and I dont think germaphobe is the right name for you, I'd say you wwere more of an everything-is-out-of-place-a-phobe!!!!! it's very bad quirks though, I have quirks similar but not as bad!.!.!. I get distracted from watching TV if a stupid cat walks past, it annoys me, I can see it from the bottom of my eyes, so i am obsessed with keeping the cats locked in the kitchen when i go watch tv!. I also get attached with rules over my animals even if they no longer aply, like, we taught our dog to sit when he drops te ball so that we can pick it up without him going for it and our hands but now we have a stick that picks it up for us so there is no reason for me to make him sit anymore but i still make him becuase im a contrll freak, I dont know, it's just a thing, I must inforce the rules because i cant stand them being broken even if they do not apply anymore!. oh yeah it's obsesssive compulsive disorder isnt itWww@Answer-Health@Com
i think i have a little bit of ocd!. i have the same problem with lights!. i cant stand it when people leave lights on, it irritates the hell out of me and i always have to get up and turn it off!. i also have to go back and check that l locked the doors to my house like 5 or 6 times when i go to bed or leave the house, and if i go out of my house and don't get the chance to make sure it is locked I'm always really stressed out the whole time im gone!. you probably have a little bit of ocd like me but don't worry you'll get used to it and try to talk to your family about the things that really irritate you, and maybe they will try not to do it anymore!. i talked to my mom about how much it irritates me when she leaves the lights on, and she barely does it anymore!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
We all have OCD like little quirks!. Like having to wear the lables of my socks on the inside of each foot!. I don't touch the handles of bathroom doors either, eww!.!.!.I do the same thing as you do!. But some of those things, like I said, are just quirks!. But I know first hand about OCD, my son has it andhe also has Social Anxiety Disorder!. When he was around 7 he used to wash his hands until they would crack and bleed!. He stopped (but not completely) when we kept on him!. But when he turned 13 (and that's usually when it turns up) is when it got bad!. But his anxiety was about throwing up!. After theropy and meds, he is gotten so much better!. He's graduating from High School next week!. He's finally learning to live with it, because you never really grow out of it!. It's a matter of talking your way out of doing these compulsive things!.
If you were to turn the light switch on and off over and over again, that would be obcessive!. When a "quirk" becomes so bad where it interfers with your life!.!.!.then that's when you have to get some theropy!. I think you're fine!. You just have some little funny quirks!. Don't stress over it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
