Obsessive compulsive disorder?!


Question:

Obsessive compulsive disorder?

i think that i have obsessive compulsive disorder... i mean, i do have these intrusive thoughts that lead me to cringe or to stop what im doing. i try to rationalize these thoughts, these things that worry me, but it ends up overpowering me to the point where i think that there is nothing else i can do but to change things around me. like, id have to change the songs on my mp3 player or the background on my computer, feeling as if those things had caused it all. i know it is stupid, but it sounds a lot like ocd to me. anyway, i dont know how to approach my parents about this. can anyone help me?


Answers:

we sometimes call it, being "OC"(obsessive-compulsive). in some ways that's detrimental, but in other ways, being OC helps(it helps when you do something--say, a certain task-- in the best way you can). You must be kind of a perfectionist yourself. Approaching & informing you parents about it won't be a problem.. actually, they would appreciate it if you tell them about it & other things that bother you or even anything you wanna ask. Sometimes, try to be contented about certain things, example, if you did something right, try not to think about it(whether what you did is the "best") over & over again. you were correct when you said it "overpowers me".this is what you want to avoid, because it develops into another problem--procrastination(u think of many things that you end up doing less--or worse, nothing).
Rationalizing thoughts is ok, but try not to think too much; try to tone it down a bit.. practice this & you would be ok..
