Do I Have OCD?

Postby sobermilk » Sat Dec 27, 2014 1:19 pm



Hi everyone and Happy Holidays! <3
Sorry if this is in the wrong spot. I couldn't find a better place to put this...
Soooo.... I need to have two answers answered...
1. Do I have OCD?
2. How do I tell my parents?
Okay, so right now I am typing this right after I ate two yogurt tubes. I hate the smell of them, and I touched a couple of keys while I was eating it, and now I think that ( even after I wiped it down ) it smells like yogurt/has yogurt on it. I think I should wash it but I am refusing to let this bully get to me.
I smelled my laptop ( lol I know I am weird ) and it smells like soap and lotion ( like me hands ). I just have a need to wash it.
So let me tell you guys my symptoms.
1. I always feel like I need to wash my wands before I use my laptop/iPod/touch anything that is mine, and after I eat or drink anything.
2. When I was little, I had an urge to take out my eyeballs and stick my fingers and pencils all the way up my nose. Just around two years ago I told my parents about that, and that got all freaked out. I do not do this anymore. When I was doing this, I had an urge to do this, almost like I had to do this an "even number of times," or that I had to do it "one last time to get it out of my system".
3. I have a specific grooming routine ( when I wash my hands, I have to do it a certain way, or I will have to start over.
4. Over the years, my symptoms have gotten worse. I now have to take a shower every night or so ( unless I tackle the bully in my brain and don't ).
5. I feel like everything has to be the same ( all my posts have to be in small font, all my characters have to be organized in a certain way ).
6. After washing my hands, I turn the light off with my middle finger on my right hand, I have to put normal, neutral smelling lotion into my left palm with my right thumb, rub it into my left/right/left hands in that order, then rub my palms into my right leg, the back of my hands into my left leg, then rub my hands together left/right/left.
7. I often worry about "What stops me from punching people in the face."
As if all of this isn't enough, my mom doesn't believe me on all this. "I would have noticed the symptoms when you were little." or "Your just a perfectionist!" or "Well then I guess I have it too."
Please, I need help and I don't know what to do. I am not faking it just so I can brag and say "Ahaha I have OCD give me pity and attention for it!" I seriously need help.
Thank you anybody who can help me. I am fighting this hard. I focus on this "OCD" around 3 hours or so a day.

Okay this isn't going to be much help but, this is the sort of thing you need to go to a doctor about, not an online forum as people will not be able to legitimately diagnose you (unless anyone is a doctor, show yourselves, or others who are suffering from OCD) and presuming you are old enough you, should be able to give a wee little white lie and go to the doctors by yourself (but preferably go with your parents, they generally have to know what your going through as to make changes to make things easier for you, but go by yourself to give the doctor an unaffected first sight on what your going through, that will make it easier to break to your parents).

Side note, parents tend to be difficult with mental issues, my dad sees my depression as a teenage thing that i will get over and therefore doesn't give much help. also OCD can develop at any time, often caused by some sort of trauma. but a doctor or psychiatric will be better at explaining to your parents

    Asking for medical advice on an online forum is not advisable; if you want a correct diagnosis then you'll need to see a doctor. All information between you and a doctor is confidential, s/he is not permitted to share this information with your family without written consent. Hope this helps.
