Could i have OCD?

Postby DJFJEKETE » Wed Oct 24, 2012 3:24 am

My supposed OCD traits:
* I obsessed over the size of my penis, thinking that it was too small even when women told it was a good size. I had to ask numerous women and didn't believe many of them.
* I don't eat breakfast, When i was in 8th grade i vomited while my family and I was on vacation. Ever since then i haven't eaten breakfast in the morning no matter how hard my mother tries to get me to eat. I have since feared that i will vomit in school. I spent a week out of school because i thought if i went i would throw up even though my doctor told me their was nothing wrong with me. My mother even took me to get blood work done and nothing was found to be wrong.
* Whenever I think i make someone mad i have to ponder and ponder and ponder and ask over and over again did i make you mad. I do this even when i didn't make the person mad. I also often say sorry a lot to people because i feel like i offend them.
* When they said the world was going to end in 2010 My family and I were downstairs and i just started freaking out...Like saying oh i'm gonna die, we're all gonna die and stuff like that.
* When ever i feel weird in an area on my body say i felt this word tingling sensation on my body like where my appendix is I would often look up the symptoms of appendicitis to make sure that i wasn't going to die. I would often ask my mother if this was the spot where my appendix is, she would tell me to just calm down and that i wasn't going to die.
* I would often get anxiety attacks when thinking about death, i would often be laying in bed then i would think about death and start crying and telling myself things to get my mind off of it. I would often get out of bed and pace around my room.
* This HOCD which i have been combatting for the past 4-5 months. I think I'am winning the battle because things don't bother me as much, and im starting to get my attraction to women back. In the first week or so the thoughts were so extreme that i often stayed up till i was exhausted in order to go to sleep fast since the thoughts only intensified when i tried to sleep. The thoughts were not pleasant and i often cried and told them to leave me alone. I had very little interaction and never went out of my room since i was dealing with this problem.
* The Skin around my fingers especially my thumbs has been bitten off. I often bite my fingers without question. It's just something i do.

Could I have OCD? Or am i just weird?

1-2% of people worldwide are estimated to have OCD, it's a really common issue. So yes, you could have it. No-one here can diagnose you, but from what you have posted, I think it might be helpful to talk to your doctor if possible and see what they can do to help.
We think too much and feel too little.
 More than machinery, we need humanity.
 More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.
