News of Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder

I have just come upon OCPD by accident while listening to a YouTube video. My son, also listening, immediately said that was definitely my brother, "the control freak", and also admitted that it sounded a little like me too. Immediately I pointed to my messy home and asked how I could possibly be OCPD while having a messy home. Nevertheless, I did a little further research and I was surprised that although the Cammer's test ...

I have some OCPD difficulties but nothing unmanageable.

Recently I've noticed that when fantasizing I either have trouble imagining having what I'd if I can not see an orderly path to acquiring such or I jump into the truly fantastic justified by magic or similar devices. Trying to fantasize about a vacation I end up in a studio apartment pursuing an online course, while I set out trying to imagine a more typical trip to ...

Seriously, I like rules. They keep things fair, and from falling into chaos. If you don't like rules you must be ok with chaos and things being unfair. Doesn't that mean the problem is with those people? Why are the people who want order the ones with the problem? I know a disorder is described as something that has a negative impact on your life. Yes, wanting to stick to the rules impacts my life ...

I'm wondering about the level of compulsive behavior people with OCPD experience. I think I'm struggling pretty severely with compulsions right now? but they are not anxiety driven. Throughout the last few years the behaviors haven't been that much of a bother. Needing to do things a certain way, in a certain order, to a certain level of perfection has been great. All my managers love me etc etc. It's been getting worse ...

I have had OCD and anxiety since I was a child. I take lexapro for the anxiety, and the anxiety has been better the last year and a half.

I know with OCD, we can imagine illnesses and disorders, which might be the case here, but I cant shake these thoughts, despite family telling me not to worry.

Alright, I am concerned about ASPD, because I have an uncle that is a psychopath. In addition, ...

I was cyberstalked by a person with OCPD. He believed that what his did was right and that all information online is "publicly available information". He did some warped things to me under this mantra. What is the likelihood of violence associated with this?

A week ago, I found myself taking OCD and OCPD quizzes. I got a score of 56 for ocpd. I looked up the symptoms and was relieved, but now I feel like a mess. My whole life I've lived with just accepting myself and now I'm re-living every detail of it.

I've been married for nearly 11 years and I've been raising my stepsons for 13 yrs. It's been a challenge, up until their teens ...

Part of having this is having a "punishing superego" that basically prevents you from showing hostility to others/speaking your mind, or face the guilt, so you have very few ways to express this anger outwardly.
