question about my OCD

Postby chitownkid » Sat Mar 08, 2014 2:46 am

Hey guys. Im a 34 year old male diagnosed with ocd/gad. my ocd is mainly checking and illness. my question is the following: ok, I freak out if i cant remember something like a quote from a movie the nite before to whole array of scenarios. I focus on trying to remember whatever it is and i get very uneasy if i cant figure it out...il focus for hours trying to remember...if i do i feel so much better...is this my ocd?

Barring any other info - the answer is - YES! - irt certainly can be OCD. I have had that sort of thing happen to me before. I have a super sharp memory, but when I get anxious it tanks, and I start to think all sorts of bad things.

*slight trigger*

like you I would try and remember scenes and dialogue from movies. I would try and remember character actors and all the movies they have been in. my friends would get spooked by how I would see a supporting actor in a movie and remember him/her from a part in a movie 10 years before in which they appeared for a minute or less.

but if I failed, my FREAK light would go on and I would panic

*end slight trigger*

that you have been diagnosed with OCD makes it all the more likely this can be OCD
