Am I OCD?!?!


Question: Am I OCD!?!!?
I'M CRAZY ABOUT GRADES!
whenever i get anything below a 90% i get really bummed for the rest of the day or even week and i can't take my mind off it!.
i cry when i "fail" a test-- failing is usually anything below a 75%!.
i also pick my skin obsessively!.!.!.usually i have a tiny blemish and i'll pick at it until it bleeds!.
is anyone else like this!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Not necessarily!. Many people are "achievers" and get irritated whey they don't get the grade they want!. There are athletes who will extend their training for many hours a day because they don't achieve the goal they've set!. It doesn't mean you're OCD, just driven to succeed!. As for picking at a blemish, it's no different then biting your nails!. It's a hard habit to stop!. Give yourself a break and relax!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it sounds like you're just really hard on yourself and expect perfection!. it's okay to expect a lot of yourself!. it's actually kind of good!. but it's okay if you get below a 90% sometimes!. it's not the end of the world; don't let it define the rest of your week!. as for the skin picking, it sounds like a nervous tick!. try to catch yourself and make yourself stop!. it doesn't sound like you have ocd, though!. give yourself a break and god bless!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

oh wow
okay i am in no way a certified psychologist
but i did just finish taking AP psychology
it sounds like you may be ocd
you should go to a therapist though
my advice, either go to a cognitive therapist, a humanistic therapist or a behaviour therapist!.prefarably a cognitive one
please answer my question :http://answers!.yahoo!.com/question/!?qid=2!.!.!.

The picking is an OCD!.!.!.I think the grades are just you having certain expectations of yourself!. There is nothing wrong with wanting and getting good grades, just don't let it bum you like that!. Go talk to a good psychiatrist and they can probably help you out!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No sweetie, doesn't sound like it!.
may be, but not certain!.
It's great your aiming high, but instead think of positives reasons about getting under 75% too!. Just one example, this often means there is more room for improvment, which means you will feel like you have achieved more next time!Www@Answer-Health@Com
