On some days when my ocd is going to be bad, I’ll wake up with some words or a song repeating in my head

I’m not actively thinking them, they just repeat by themselves. Anyway, good morning and severe plaque psoriasis

How long do you obsess and hang on to what others have done that bothered you?

having OCD is very difficult

i tend to waste so much time ever since. imagine being distressed when u just wanna drink water.

Them Alphabet boys ever come after ya?

Ever wanna cry and look pretty while you kill everyone and kick stuff but you ain't got time cuz you're organizing your kitchen junk drawer !! PMS, OCD, ADD..... M...O..U..S..Fin' E.

What's your OCD tendency?

The clothes i wear today or use today including towels, napkins will be in wash tomorrow and that happens everyday. I get my house cleaned and mopped everyday and everything is in its place. I change my bedsheets every two days. All dishes are...

Anyone have or had a partner with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)?

What was their compulsion and how did you or they manage (if it was managed).

I keep feeling so scared that my big brother is going to die from Covid-19. What should I do?

I know it's not logical. He's fine, but I keep washing things, sanitizing my hands before bringing him food and making sure everyone else does as well. I feel like if he died it would be my fault.

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...

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, sleeping in...

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 respond to it, it takes me...

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 image...

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 that I organized...

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: obsessisions over organization, but...

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?
