I wanted to know if this is just a symptom of my ocd, or something else...and if anyone else has ever experienced it... I just got some work back, and I did well, incredibly well in fact...possibly one of the best in my whole year. I'm pleased about this, I know I am, but I don't actually...

I was sitting in a class today, in which there is a woman in a wheelchair, and I suddenly thought (it wasn't an ocd related thought), would I rather have a mental illness or a physical disability? I secretly envy the fact that, although I realise it must be horrible to have a physical...

So I had some wine, I know I shouldn’t have because alcohol exacerbates ocd, but I thought if I only had one glass it wouldn’t be too bad in the morning. But it started that night, I washed my hands and was about to wash them again but then I thought “it’s not me it’s my ocd”, the phrase from...

Ok so I'm having a really hard time at the moment. On top of everything else I've just started hand washing - this is a whole new area for me, and it's horrible. I feel like I need to tell my best friend but I don't know how...I've known her for 13 years and for 11 of these I've had ocd. She...

It drives me mad, you can't BE obsessive compulsive disorder...it's something you have not are! It's so stupid but whenever anyone says 'I'm OCD about this...' it sets me off and makes my ocd ten times worse. My lecturer was joking about being really organised today and she said 'I'm OCD about...

My friends keep saying things like 'You're so weird' when I carry out my compulsions, but I can never get myself to say 'it's my ocd'. How did everyone tell their friends, or have they even told their friends!?

that around certain people your ocd lessens, or almost completely disappears? This has never happenend to me before but this weekend I went to visit some friends and I found myself thinking...oh that tables not straight, or, I can't step on the cracks, but I didn't do anything about it and I...

I'm 18 and I've had ocd for 11 years. I play piano and I've been heavily into music since I can remember. One weird obsession I have, which I can't seem to find much information on, is one to do with music. We all know how horrible the unwanted thoughts are, but does anyone get unwanted music? I...
