Well since my boyfriend broke up with me. I been doing alot of things I useally never did. For one I always have recuring thoughts that im going to die since i tryed to kill myself over him. I try and try to make them go away but nothing ever works and im to afarid to tell any one cuz i think they're goin to think im werid. Also when i take a shower any more i have to do it a strick order if not ill get out of the shower and start all over again. I have to start with gettin wet then do body wash then shampoo then conditioner but all soap from the frist has to be off from me if i see any one me when i put the conditioner on i have to get out and start over(frist by risnin out the conditioner tho.
i also have thoughts that im goin to be alone for ever and that im goin to die a horrible death either being murdered or raped and then beaten to death or somthing..
Also if i am in the store and i see things that are out of place i have to go and strighten them up if i dont ill think about it all day. also im sorta a compussice liar no matter wat i do to try and stop it doesnt work i believe i have to lie so people like me so they dont know the real me.
Also the scarey one that i been having alot since my father had surery for his kidneys because he went into kidney failure..Is i have night mares every single night that hes going to die and that hes not goin to be there whenn i wake up. Now im pulling closer and closer to him. The dreams are horriable and scarey to no point and i want them to go away but i jus dont know how to make them go.
Please some one help me tell me if this is OCD or maybe something else.

I have had ocd since I can remember so does my brother. I have been around it a lot. Most things you are describing do sound like OCD. I am far from being a doctor. I think it would be best to get diagnosed and possibly try some meds mainly for the thoughts and dreams. Straightening things in a store wont hurt you but the dreams and thoughts can become unhealthy and time consuming. Most people develope OCD at an early age, but a percentage of people with OCD claim that it didnt start until after a very traumatic experience. Maybe the stress of the break up caused it. Either way I would say your best bet is to go to a doctor. Try some medication or counseling if you don't like the drug route.

Sounds like OCD to me, as I have had the same symptoms. You really do need to get a formal diagnosis though...They can help you with meds, counseling, or cognitive behavior therapy. Good luck and hang in there! Jess

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
