Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Add a story, a question, an experience, a thought...

I was wondering if you guys could talk to me about OCD symptoms and how you found out you have OCD. I just learned that OCD does not always mean over cleaning or obsessively organizing. And even though those are signs of OCD, there are many other sig...

As soon as I wake up, my mind is flooded with a billion thoughts I don't want to think about. [I Have Ocd]

I wish I could just catch the thoughts and throw them in the ocean and watch them get eaten by sharks. But they would still find some way to get back in my mind probably.

I hate OCD [I Have Ocd]

I hate OCD. I wake up feeling like I’m dying.

Having someone who can handle all your moods is such a blessing. 🙂

Hahaha I didn't seek out help from doctor, didn't take no meds, no drugs and I saved a ton of money. At first it was really bad, 3 hour showers and would only get out of the house every 2 weeks to mow the lawn. But now I can travel, sl...

I Suffer From Ocd and Anxiety

I don't know what should I call it, but I have got into an "anxiety loop". My obsessive thoughts starts with a pattern and when I don't respond to it or don't work according to it, it constantly keeps bullying me. But if I re...

I Have Minor Ocd

I think i have minor ocd sometimes, along with depression. I am definitely not average or typical when it comes to sadness and things being just right. i want everything to be even. I have done things like moved things around or eat an even amount of...

I Have Obsessive-compulsive Tendencies But Not Ocd

I’ve never been diagnosed, but since I was younger everyone i met, especially my friends told me I had the tendencies of someone who has OCD. I do things in repetition all the time, and I’m obsessed with cleaning, I clean my house at least 6 times a ...

I dreamt of contamination. Dad worked so hard to keep the water blue,keep it clean. Guess he slipped up and it got contaminated. Red. I've always found red alarming. I was scared but everyone else just played it off. I wish I could erase the ima...

I got so triggered by this diagram of bacteria in a Petri dish. I usually only get mildly triggered but today is different. I've been cleaning a lot too. I ripped that textbook page out and shredded it because I felt it was contaminating my book...

Friends:Celebrating the near end of the year,arranging gatherings and parties,having fun. Me:I just disinfected my calculator! Also,I can't believe the person who made this group did not capitalize the letters 'C' and 'D....

It just a slight case of it. When I see something out of place I want to fix it. But it's not that strong of an urge. So typically in my mind I would be like "should I fix this, I could but should I?" That is unless it was something th...

Okay, so I have irritating symptoms of OCD. People really shouldn't joke around with the topic. I've had it for a while now, and I recently suspected my OCD problem and found out. It's usually 'just' the normal: obsessision...

Does ocd have to involve organization ? or can it simply be something that your mind obsesses about ..say for example your opinion on something do you ever have to state it to yourself in your head just to go over why youre right?

I don't have OCD, but I have something similar. OCPD (obsessive-compulsive *personality* disorder) is what I have, and it's basically OCD, but it focuses more on perfectionism and orderliness more than cleanliness. I always get really anxi...

I can remember having obsessive thoughts since I was a little girl. I remember obsessing over death when I was younger. When I was young we went to a lot of funerals for some reason. I remember obsessing over it to where I would have dreams about it....

Lists..... How many people keep a list of every book they read and want to read? How many write down each movie they see and when? I did this for 12 years. I'm still a list guy, but I try not to overdo it. :-)

I Have Obsessive Compulsive Tendencies

I take 2 showers and/or baths a day. So that 14 a week. I'm not sure if that's bad or good? Its starting to destroy my hair, making it extremly dry, along with my skin. But I just can't not take a shower or bath! I've used conditi...

I Am a Little Bit Ocd

I haven't moved apps on my home screen for... 3-9 months... Every time I move ONE I'm just like "Nope. I'm putting you back to where you were"

I Have Ocd Without Compulsions, Known As Pure-o

First of all, I've never been diagnosed, so I can't say with absolute certainty that I have pure O but I am 99.99% certain that I have it. As a child, I remember ritually trying to unthink the thought of killing my family. I thought that th...
