Question: Does anyone here have symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or family members with OCD!?
For my speech presentation, I am planning to discuss OCD!. For anyone who knows alot about the rituals that OCD sufferers go through, I'd like to know about them!. My presentation will be much more informative if I have information about the obsessions and the compulsions of the OCD sufferers!. I have a sister with severe OCD in the form of hoarding syndrome and relationship OCD!. Any information will be much appreciated!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

OCD can cover a very wide spectrum of thoughts and behaviors!. Some of the most common including counting, contamination avoidance, orderliness, and checking!. The list, however, is endless!. Check this link for more info:

I used to be bad with it, now I am not so fanatical but I am about germs and wash my hands A LOT! when I go shopping to get groceries, I get in my car and wipe my hands down with a wet wipe "I keep a packet in my glove box" I wipe down my steering wheel, then when I get home and put everything away I wipe down the counter tops, anywhere the items touched, I also wipe down the fridge handles!.
My house has to be spotless all the time, ceiling fans can't have any dust laying on them, and if something is not done and I have to go out, I can't relax until i get home and get it done, the entire time I am out all I can do is think about the things I still have to do at home and often times it is like taking a tape and pushing play and fast forward at the same time!.
So the only things now I am obsessed with is cleanliness!.
It used to be I would leave the house, lock the door and get in my car, have to come back in make sure I locked the back door, double check the stove, make sure nothing is left on, leave, come back and check again to make sure!. I don't do that anymore!. Thank GOD!
PS: Just for the record, I am now in my 40's and come to realize the reason I have to have everything just so in the house, my hair just so, etc!.!. is because most of the time I feel like I cannot control anything that goes on in my life, loved ones who are so self absorbed that the family is torn apart, because I have little control of what takes place around me, I have to have some control over something!. When I get stressed out, the first thing I want to do is clean something!.
This might help shine the light on why we do what we do!.
Not having control over situations, you cannot control others or what happens, only how you react to them and this is how I react to them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
