I think i was born with some sort of disorder but don't know what?...?!

Question: I think i was born with some sort of disorder but don't know what?...?

when i was a young girl i use to swing my pony tail because it felt like it was in my way. I do it every 10 second and not only that....when my fingers touches the coach (it has to be suede) i blow on my fingers and touch the coach agian. i would repeat it 3 to 4 times.I use to spit on my shirt alot....around my colar would be a ring of spit that reaches down to my chest. I always move my hands in a funny way (kinda like bringing the pointer finger towards my chest and my thumb out then point it back out and away from my chest). After doing that i would feel alot better. Another thing is....TELL ME WHY I ALWAYS SPIT AND I GET DISGUSTED WHEN I SEE "RAT DROPPINGS". i would spit and spit and spit and followed by the hand movements. i would do it 20 times before i feel better. But when i think about it agian i spit but gradually calm down than the first time. Sometimes i would make a tap my finger while doing makeup or even touch my lip with my pointing finger then do take it away. I DON'T KNOW BUT I BEEN SUFFERING WITH THIS DISORDER SINCE A CHILD....IM ALSO GOOD AT HIDING IT. IF YOU please can tell me what this it maybe i can do some research about it....thank you for your time.

it sounds to me like you could have OCD obssessive compulsive Disorder this is where you have set rituals that you need to do to make yourself feel safe and in control

This can be a very dibilatating condition often sufferers feel a strong compulsion to carry out these routines before they can live their day to day lives and often can fear that something bad will happen if they are unable to carry out these rituals

An example could be - needing to touch a light switch so many times or having to tap your fingers so many times or checking a door has been locked x amount of times a lot of people feel anxious on occassion or feel the need to double check things the difference between this an OCD is that with OCD it is more compulsive behaviour

OCD is managable though and it depends on the person how severly it effects them if this is what you have and you feel it is starting to effect your life or make your day to day activities more difficult then you can get help some people find behaviour techniques work that a doctor could explain to you and some medications can work in reducing OCD behaviours if your worried make a doctors appointment and he would be able to give you an official diagnosis and disscuss treatment options with you if you need them goodluck

definitely OCD. look it up, you will be satisfied to know what exactly is wrong with you.
