Wondering if people knew...

Postby JekyllHyde » Sun Nov 06, 2011 10:44 pm

I read somewhere, because I was doing a research paper on DID for my English AP class, that OCD is actually very common in people with DID. I was just wondering if anybody else noticed that and if it was true.
I know it's true for me, because I have a bunch of OCDs. I handsanitize constantly (at least 22 times a day), I have to have my windows open to the same height, I have to have a nightlight (but that might be just fear of what hides in the dark...), I have a certain schedule I live by and if that schedule is tampered with I'm in a foul mood all day long. It's simple things, and there's probably even more that I just don't realize are considered OCDs.
I also found in that same article that DID is associated with PTSD, I know that doesn't have anything to do with OCD, but if anyone can tell me if they know anything about that also, that would be helpful.
THanks, I was just curious!

Hi JekyllHyde,

I've never heard that before, but it certainly makes sense as all three disorders stem from trauma, to some extent.
You might want to ask in the DID forum, too, as I'm not as familiar with the disorder.
