Do i have OCD?

Postby Charls » Sat Apr 23, 2005 9:27 am

This is the first time I've posted on here,or any other forums, so if it goes pear shaped then soz:D

Some of the symptoms I experiance are-
-If I touch something with my right side, the part fo my body that corresponds on my left side HAS to touch the thing. I can't stop myself doing this, but if i delay doing it, I wil worry for ages about what will happen
-Hoarding things-anything from bus tickets to sweet wrappers, for no particular reason
-Making lists
-Particular rituals before I do things such as going to bed.
-Words or phrases repeating in my mind
-Thoughts that I don't want, that worry me
-Doing things a certain number of times

In your opinion, do I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder?

It does sound like OCD or obsessive compulsive personality disorder. It is essential that you do those patterns for at least an hour in total per day though. If you only do them occasionally and only for a while then don't bother wondering, you have no problem.
