Do you think i have ocd?!


Question: Do you think i have ocd?
I dont think i do but my mother does.
(Keep in mind that my mother can be very manipulative and passive aggressive)
This is a list of things i do that my mum says means i have ocd.
*Using soap to wash my hands after using the toilet.
*Washing my hands before i eat if im out shopping.
*Cleaning the toilet every 3-4 days.
*washing over the kitchen sink after i done the dishes.
*Not eating food someone has sneezed or coughed on.
*Not letting a dog or cat lick my face and hands.
*Not sharing bottles of drink or food with other people.
I think these things just make me a clean person, i still get messy and dirty just as much as anyone else. Its really bugging me because my mum keeps saying things to me like, "You need help with your ocd" or ":Wow, you're out of control, get some help".
Like i said, i dont think i do have ocd, but id like to hear others opinions?
Do you think i have ocd or is my mum just being her typical Sociopath self??

Answers:

I don't think you have OCD, you have enviable cleaning habits that most people would do if they could be bothered.



Maybe you have mild OCD like me....if so it may get a little out of hand once and a while or your cleanliness goes to extreme levels then its something to worry about! but right now i think your just a clean person!

Good Luck!

No, you do not obsessions and compulsions, and all those things seem normal.



dont think so



do you have obsessive intrusive thoughts? it doesnt seem like it, or else you probably would have said.

honestly, i dont think you have OCD. i think you are just aware that there are germs in the world and you take good care of yourself. honestly it's great for when you become a mommy! you will make sure the baby has a clean environment surrounding them for when they eat, play on the floor, or when you change their diaper. i know this is off topic, but it just reminded me of a responsible clean person. i wish i was as clean as you are!

if you were "out of control" you would be washing your hands every 5 minutes during the day. or cleaning the toilet before every time you use it. that is being out of control.

i have OCD, but my OCD doesn't have to do with germs. Mine has to do with very bad intrusive thoughts, and checking compulsions. but i do have a phobia of stray hairs.

dont worry! if it bothers YOU, then get some help.
