well most people try to hide it from other people also it can be very fustrating because you have certain things you have to do and you know really that it is pointless doing the things like counting etc but you just have to do it or you cant settle. ive had this from being a kid and im 26 now and ive only just started understanding the reasons why i do the things i do with the help of counselling.

you dont really feel ocd.. tho i hate when they give labels to things like habits.. habits is what they now call ocd. some might agree and others not so much.

It means having thoughts that are 100% real to you and to others they don't know what or why. These thoughts are fears calmed by rituals. How to handle it I can't say though there are lots of resources by hitting OCD on google. People need to support others with OCD as it is not their fault anymore then people with Diabetes or Dyslexia.

Arrgh! haha. Well, everything bugs you; well, not really everything, but any little imperfection is ten times magnified.

i dont have any rituals or anything. it just feels like my mind gets stuck on something horrible that i don't want to think about. and i can't talk to anyone about it either because it disgusts me too much

It feels like being in a prison. Your mind can trap you in a way that you cannot imagine. It is funny how you do things to control your life in a certain way when you have OCD, but the reality is that the ailment controls you. Funny, huh?

To me it just feels normal, I don't need to arrange my day around it, I don't need to put time aside or overcompensate for it. It's as everyday as wake up, wash, put make up on and count every tile in the bathroom as I brush my teeth.

I`ve been diagnosed with OCD by a professional psychologist. Not everyone who has it is the same, but to me it has controlled my life. I have to do everything in fours. I walk four steps. If I accidentally walk five I have to walk another three to make it proper. I wash my hands by scrubbing four times. I need to sit down four times before I feel comfortable with it. Everything has to be facing me or it`s just not right in my head. The doors and windows always have to be locked! I can`t stand an unlocked door! I come back to the house and call a few times just to ask the person who is home if everything is locked. I have been late on many occasions for important things. My hands are always in my pockets, making sure I remembered lil things like-my cell phone, keys, money. It`s very difficult to deal with if no one understands. My boyfriend is very understanding, but he does have moments where he just doesn`t understand why there has to be a proper way for everything.

i suppose it's torture.. like having an itch that never goes away. you have all these shitty thoughts that take over your mind. you think by doing these rituals you can get rid of the thoughts but you have to do it a specific number of times and a specific way or it doesn't temporarily get rid of the thoughts.
