Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Support Group
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a psychiatric disorder, more specifically, an anxiety disorder. OCD is manifested in a variety of forms, but is most commonly characterized by a subject's obsessive (repetitive, distressing, intrusive) thoughts and related compulsions (tasks or rituals) which attempt to neutralize the obsessions.
my ex having ocd himself accussed me of having it-i was wondering if anyone could tell me after i describe- what he said are my symptoms - do u think i have this and need to be put on meds or is he just an idiot.... ok so i don't know if any of u have ever seen that movie Sleeping with the Enemy-but that is how i keep my kitchen cabinets - all the labels must face the same way and the carrots have to be with the carrots- and so on.... also i freak out when there is any kind of dis organization in the house and i have to fix it right away and i hate it when everyone gets home cause that means the house is gonna get dirty again ! and i'm gonna have to clean it again and again ! and i'm constantly wiping the counters with antibaterial cloths- i really do want honest opinions on this and would appreciate any advice anyone has to give- thank u so much for ur time and attention...
there is ocd (obsessive compulseive disorder), which you know about because of your ex and then there is ocpd(obsessive compulsive personality disorder). with ocpd someone may need things to be a certain way or may have to do something a certain way. the thing is it does not control their life, it is not diasbling. to me, you sound a little more on the fence of ocd, with all of the constant worrying and obsessing before the events even take place. i would definitely talk with your doctor and just be very open with him/her. the earlier you can get help with this the better off you will be! i am here for any questions or support you need! i hope some of this helped. i am feeling really spacey today, well have been lately...so hopefully i made sense! :)
