I associate OCD with compulsions, I don't have them, or at least they are not the ones that yuo usually see described as a symptom of OCD.
But I do worry about everything.
This worries came from nowhere, they are not present all the time, they usually come when I'm alone and have a lot of time to think.
Some of the "stupid" worries I've experienced the past few months are:
- am I schizophrenic?, I feel like I've met so many new people that some of them may be unreal (which is not the case, everyone is real, but the thought just come)
- do I have a "worrier" personality hidden in myself?, cause anything negative information I got that may apply to myself, later on will show up as a worrier telling me that I may have that condition or disease.
- Since I find out that usually negative thoughts come while I'm with myself, I started to keep myself busy doing new things (like sports, meeting new people, etc), and also, if I'm alone, I go to internet to try to figure out what's wrong with me. Could this be a rare form or compulsion?
- This worries are not affecting my social life that much since, when I'm socializing they don't come, but affects my productivity at work, when sometimes I'm alone.
- My anxiety goes very high for moments during the day, and this happens when worries that I know may be stupid, come. When I'm talking about this issues, or doing something that keep my mind busy and concentrated in other people, or in something fun, I don't get this worries i.e., I'm not anxious.
- I'm actually going to psychotherapy, my therapist says that I'm having a inner personality conflict since I'm forcing myself to do a lot of changes (habits, lifestyle, personality) in a short time. Since I was kind of social phobic, few months ago I decided to change it radically, and I've been meeting new people, doing new stuff that I wouldn't because of worries and laziness. Although I'm not sure, sometimes I really feel paranoid. He says that this is a usual manifestation of my previous "self" trying to come back and take control of my life. But I don't know, this last months I've been really feeling like going crazy.
