OCD! I have it, I thought I didnt need to do anything about it or that I am just!

OCD! I have it, I thought I didnt need to do anything about it or that I am just hypochondriac?

I thought I can control my own thoughts that ocd is just bs that psychologists use to make money, but I really have it.
Right after I started to try to just ignore it it got really bad.

Hypochondriac ?? As in someone who complains about some illness but refuses to goto the doctors because they KNOW its a lie??

I dont think thats the same as having OCD unless; that is, in fact, the OCD itself. OCD doesnt usually manifest itself as a lie so I cant picture this being you.

Your thoughts, you do control. Regardless of what anyone else tells you - you can controls your thoughts. With practice it becomes easy. Its even easier if you can associate them with something else you like.

I used to count the fingers on my hands all the time, moving my thumb across each one as I counted, but then I started taking martial arts and found all sorts of different ways to use my fingers to make different kinds of striking blows- now I dont count anymore. Actually I havent counted them since I was about 18.

Damn it - I just did it because I thought about it - LOL

I dont know about what the psych say about OCD because I never went to one for mine - I just simply live with them...all the stepping on two cracks and reading everything twice etc...I just find it compulsory to be even.

What would going to the psych do for me....get me high on meds? who the heck wants that garbage? Would he make me stop reading everything twice? Does that even matter to anyone else since no one can tell it but me?

I dont find anything with my OCD as being so life threatening that I need to go see any specialist for it. You, on the other hand, seem to be very concerned about yours. It might be right for you to go seek some help. I just have this funny feeling that its really nothing for you to be worried about...only one true way to find out - go and see.
