hey guys i stumbled upon this site after doing some googling... and this is my first post :idontknow:. i am wondering if i have ocd? i do wash my hands alot i hate the feeling of having dirty hands... dirty i mean as in germs/bacteria, i dont really care if i have dirt or oil on my hands though.
when i am not busy, bored or waiting for something i often pick at my nails or pick at the skin on my fingers.... sometimes it starts to bleed. sometimes i get the urge to pluck hair from my eyebrows, eyelashes, armpits, and sometimes my pubic hair...
i like to do things by schedule. like i like to wake up at a certain time and follow the same routine everyday. before i go to bed i get an urge to check if i turned my alarm clock on, then i wash my hands i check if i turned it on again, then i put my bedtime clothes on and i check if i turned it on again. i have tried to not check but i cant sleep so i have to get up and physically check if i turned it on or not. i constantly check my pockets to see if i have everything on me. before i leave my house for school i have to physically feel that i have my wallet, phone, pack of gum, backpack, snack, bottle of water and keys on me before i leave.
then when i get in my car i have to check again before i pull out of my driveway. while i drive i often check if i locked the car door 2-3 times within a 10 min drive. i also check if my windows are fully up by pulling every switch up (automatic windows)... when i park my car before i get out i make sure i have all my things again. i then lock my car using the remote, and i walk around physically opening each door to verify it is locked. as i walk away i check again to see if i have all my stuff. basically i constantly check to make sure i have all my stuff with me.
when im at home on the computer if i hear any noise i have to get up and look out the window to see what it was/is. and i always turn around and check whats behind me while im sitting down. also before i go to bed i check that my front door is locked 2-3 times
if i am sitting with a group of people i often have an urge to stare at someone usually female and its hard not to stare. if i am talking 1 on 1 with someone its hard for me to maintain eye contact i often need to look away and see my surroundings.
do u guys think i have ocd? or do i have a fear of losing things? ive never actually "lost" anything before which is good i guess... and how do i know i have ocd? also ive noticed my spelling has been getting bad lately. if i have the symptomns do i have it or do i have to get checked out by a doctor and then i officially have ocd? last time i went to the doctor i found out i have iron deficiency amneia ....
