Have you got OCD

Answer 1

I think I've had OCD since I was 8. I think I might have OCD but I don't think my parents believe me cuz theyv seen sum of the habits I have and they tell me its something else like when I blink a lot at certain things they tell me I need to moisture my eyes. Blinking and breathing and looking up to blink are the worst habits for me, majority of them I don't remember and don't even notice. I cant breathe whilst looking at a person. Also I click the mouse a billion times and click the shift button for the I (when it's alone) a lot as you can see. I also backspace lots of stuff and rewrite them, I always rub random stuff 'just so' something bad happens. When I think about something I cant get it out of my mind and a month later I somehow remember it. I get frustrated when I do something or when I try to fix something like trying to turn a doorknob I have to do it again because my hand wasn't aligned up. I always have to tap things into rythym . Also I also get something into my head like something stupid like screaming something out or deleting something or punching someone . ( I think about what would happen when I scream hi out in public what would happen and I do it and sometimes if I don't I think something bad will happen.) Also when I'm sitting on the floor with friends and my hand touches their leg by accident, I feel like I have to do it 2 more times. (I usually do 3 or 7 . If I touched somewhere I would have to touch the right side of it then the middle) I hope you get me there. I also get really frustrated and when I do, I have to kiss my wrist (IK SOUNDS STUPID) or pound my hands together and keep pounding them together until the finger knuckles are aligned perfectly, those are my rituals and most OCD's rituals are to wash there hands. I also pull my shirt a lot which my brother tells me to stop doing, (He tells me lots of things not to do) . I also am a gamer (PS3) and play Call of Duty Black Ops. I always have to jump up for no reason and press triangle triangle and to just read the name. I also save the game so many times and keep pressing the x button which doesn't do anything whilst pressing it. On my phone I always press the end call button and always have to breathe out and turn the light away and then I can breathe again. I can't look at peoples eyes really when I talk to them or I sorta hold my breath if I do. I sometimes want to turn the light on, so I turn it on then off then on then off then on then off then on. ( My parents get annoyed) Whenever I'm busy doing homework or playing video games when I'm home alone I always check the door if it's unlocked. I don't like watching scary movies but I do watch them sometimes, but when I watch them my OCD REALLY acts up, like my blinking and for some reason I can't blink at the screen when a movie is playing (but if I get real into the movie I forgot :) ) . So when I'm walking in the mall there are always patterns in the floor and I always have to walk in one colour or one pattern. Again , I am a 14 year old boy who has had OCD for about 6-7years and I have lots of obsessions to do, I just ccan't think of them but I lay off once in a while so it doesn't affect my life as much (On average days I do some of it and on really bad days my OCD acts up bad) So I hope you enjoyed my story.

Answer 2

Well, according to the EEG and MRI I've had done, I have certain characteristics of OCD and several similar brain disorders, but none contiguous enough to make a diagnosis. Why do you ask?
