Do I have an Ocd?

These things I am about to say are things I have done all my life, yet only realised aren't normal,

1. Plugs have to be switched off. I get seriously panicky (scream and flap my arms around) and I feel queasy if they're not switched off, unless I am using them.

2. Pens, pencils, cutlery, paintburshes etc have to be pointing to my left. Otherwise I'll get this terrible feeling that the person the pen is pointing to will die. Sounds odd doesn't it?

3. I spray toilets with my NOGERMS cleaner before using them.

4. I constantly worry about people I know dying (in lessons, when eating ect, usually takes up about an hour of my day), and ambulances make me panic. (however, not severely)

5. I'm a very messy person. Very messy! But If I go round someone's house, I'll rearrange things or get scared if I see dust or dog hair on the floor.

I don't want to sound like I am self diagnosing myself or whatnot, but it is beginng to irritate some people in my classes..

Help! ?

Thank you. X

Do I have an Ocd?

Here are some things OCD revolves around:

* Fear of contamination or dirt

* Repeated doubts

* Having things orderly and symmetrical

* Aggressive or horrific impulses

* Sexual images

OCD symptoms involving obsessions may include:

* Fear of being contaminated by shaking hands or by touching objects others have touched

* Doubts that you've locked the door or turned off the stove

* Repeated thoughts that you've hurt someone in a traffic accident

* Intense distress when objects aren't orderly, lined up properly or facing the right way

* Images of hurting your child

* Impulses to shout obscenities in inappropriate situations

* Avoidance of situations that can trigger obsessions, such as shaking hands

* Replaying pornographic images in your mind

* Dermatitis because of frequent hand washing

* Skin lesions because of picking at the skin

* Hair loss or bald spots because of hair pulling

It seems like:

1.) Repeated Doubts

2.) Having things orderly and symmetrical

3.) Fear of contamination

4.) Anxiety attack possibly

5.) Not really sure. You want to make sure others are in a clean environment, but you would also care about yourself so might not be related.

It seems like you have many of the obsessions but not really the symptoms. You don't really go into detail, so you are going to have to be the judge of your symptoms. Best bet would be seeing a professional about it.

i am not a psychologist, but i think there may be some sort of problem so see your doctor =]

obsessions are repetitive thoughts and compulsions are the repeated behaviors that go along with them.

someone who has OCD is not able to function beacuse these obessions and compulsions often get in the way

but see a doctor before diagnosing yourself

The best thing for you to do if you really want to know the answer is seek professional help and if you think it is interfering with your life, there are meds that can help. Many people have OCD tendencies but aren't fully OCD.

I'm no expert, but this sounds 100 percent like OCD/anxiety. The good news is OCD are something that are really easy to get over even if it doesn't feel like it. Go talk to your doc, and they can probably refer you to a psychologist or someone else that can help. The best thing to do is take care of it before it gets too out of your control.

Best of luck!
