News of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Forum

Hello, my husband and I got married in August of this year and only started living together once we were officially married. I always had a sense that he had somewhat obsessive tendencies and was what I flippantly referred to as a 'hypochondriac', but only since we've begun living together have a number of other things come to light.

1. He hordes - for example, he will buy new toothpaste but refuse to throw away ...

Hi there,

While I am relatively good in handling my OCD, i have a serious issue with getting obsessed with people whom I date, or are interested in me and often times because of my behavior I tend to lose them.

I only get obsessed with people i am interested in, not just with anyone who gives me attention. My obsession compells me to call them multiple times a day (if i dont hear from ...

Ive gotta keep my fingers busy! I feel some OCD symptoms rising, some old rituals trying to resurface- my old rituals include night time and morning rituals of taking stuff apart and organizing it all into neat piles and then putting it all back together in the morning. I dont wanna do it! Its too time consuming! So, I figure the healthiest way to deal is to blog about it, write about how much I ...

I am worrying for three days now, and I cannot focus on study or anything else.

The thing is one day I finished class and went out with some senior students. I am a new student here and it's my first time to meet them. One student asked me "Did you enjoy the class?", I said "Not that much." (because it is very hard for me) After that, I found out that the teacher in ...

Hi there I've been searching OCD treatments on the net for some time now and, a while ago stumbled upon the trials MAPS did in the US on Psilocybin which opened a whole new avenue of treatment I had overlooked. It seems 5ht2A agonistic psychedelics have shown great promise for treating if not curing OCD all together. Anyway to cut a long story short it turns out most ...

Hey guys.. I'm new here ( so hey!)

I was just wondering if anyone can relate to OCD and finding it hard to speak or say things that there OCD won't allow them to say.

I've had OCD for about 8 years now, and over the last year or two I've found it so hard to say things. Not even if they're bad, or good, or whatever, but if I want to reply to someone, ...

i have read that depression can sometimes be caused by other anxiety/personality disorders. i feel like there is a strong chance i have this but i don't know if i should bring it up to my doctor. like- wouldn't he have noticed if i actually had it? i don't want to seem like a hypochondriac i guess i just want to know for sure. my question is this- should i mention it to my doctor ...

I am the female alt (I have to get used to saying it in order not to confuse) of Nanashi. Clearly, DID is diagnosis which also might have OCD applications. Here are some behaviors the original displayed prior to my bieng here.

1) Trimming eyebrows
2) Shaving hair off entire body
3) A complete overall disgust for hair anywhere but on my head
4) Fear of germs by touching someone I think is dirty, and ...

I believe that my girlfriend may have OCD. She has this thing where she won't let me touch her if she thinks my hands are dirty. As an example last night immediately after I leave the bathroom and wash my hands we go into the bedroom and I turn the lamp off. We go into bed and I put my hands on her back and just lightly caress her back and she freaks out because ...
