Ocd....possibly, please help :)....?!
Question: Ocd!.!.!.!.possibly, please help :)!.!.!.!.!?
Hey,
Well I'm almost sure i have ocd, i wash my hands loads, if i touch a door handle or railing etc!. i have to go wash my hands!. I know that when i am at school i won't be allowed to keep washing my hands in class so i carry an antibacterial hand wash that dries and you don't need water and go through a bottle in a day!. Also i tidy things like all the time, i can tidy for hours on end and often stay up until 1-2am on school days just making sure my room is tidy! So do you think i have ocd!? Oh and one more question, do people with ocd like to be very neat in their work!? Because at school my hand writing has to be perfect or i have to start over again and if any of my friends writes in my book or writes something for me then i start to cry because i can't deal with the scruffy handwriting, so is that an ocd symptom too!.
I just read this and realised it sounds like i want the diagnosis, i don't im just trying to figure out what's wrong, :)
Thanks xxxWww@Answer-Health@Com

It sounds like you do have OCD in some form or another!. My sister has it!. She washes her hands incessantly to the point of her skin being red and raw!. She goes through 5 rolls of paper towels a day because she can't use hand towels because they are "unsanitary"!. Anytime she touches anything she sees as "dirty" (basically everything), she must wash her hands!. Your needing to do your homework just right is also a sign of OCD!.
But there is good news for you!.!.!. The fact you recognize you have a problem is the first step to recovery! My sister has been suffering from OCD for at least 20 years!. She is now 35 and hasn't had a job for 15 years!. She has to live with my parents and is basically a recluse!. She is a good person, but refuses to recognize anything is wrong with her!. Everybody else is strange, she is just fine, so she thinks!. So the fact that you see there something there with you, is good!. Talk to your doctor right away!. They can discuss getting you on the right medication!. Normally I don't encourage people to medicate themselves, but if you don't take care of this, it could effect your relationships, friendships, school, getting a job in the future, and just general quality of life!. You might even consider counseling!.
Be proactive about getting better and talk to your doctor!. Good luck to you and God bless!Www@Answer-Health@Com

OCD is a lot more common that people think!.!.!.
Do you have emetophobia by any chance (fear of vomiting)!? I do, and I have OCD with all the hand washing just like you!. Can't go anywhere without antibac hand gel, and I hate touching anything in public places, because I'm so scared of catching something that might make me ill!. There are a lot of helpful support sites, you should have a dig around online!. Good luck :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ive got OCD, I use to do all the germ-afobe stuff but I broke my self by doing the opposite!. Licking doorknobs, or touching anything and everything that people tell you is unclean!. It worked and I no longer have that particular Obsession!. I even had a MD!. tell me the way to brake an obsession is to force yourself to do the opposite!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Yes sweeetie it sounds like you have OCD!. Firstly do not be ashamed, plenty of people have it!. Speak to a trusted adult and they can help you get help!. Also maybe google OCD to find some support websites!. You can beat it, good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Tell someone!.!.!.now!. You definitely sound really sad and upset!.!.!.and you do sound as if ocd is the cause!. Talk to parents, teachers, doctor, anyone, but do it NOW!.!.!. Good luck! xxxWww@Answer-Health@Com
yes, you need to go to your gp!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
This does sound like a form of OCD!. I would speak to a doctor, they may be able to get you to see somebody to talk to about this before it gets any worse!. They will prob provide you with cognative behaviour therapy, not neccassarily medication, as this doesnt always help with OCD!.
OCD tends to get worse if you are under and stress or upset about things!.
Do you think something bad may happen if you dont clean or tydy!? This is a form of OCD also!. (I have OCD - I have it under control at the moment, but hid it away for years as I was ashamed to tell anyone and didnt know what it was)Www@Answer-Health@Com
