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.
Thank you all for your advice regarding my first question "Do you think I might have been misdiagnosed"? After reading your thoughts I dismissed myself from your community because I believe you are all correct since all of you are dealing with it first hand. I am in another community on ds, that is how I found this one. Anyway, I went back to my psychiatrist last week and she didn't even want to talk about the anxiety and depression and if the meds were working on that, she wanted to know if I had lessened up on the checking and re-checking amongst the other things I do. I have to admit I got a little pissed off about this because I don't want meds for ocd but I want it for my panic disorder/depression. Any thoughts on what her angle is with this? Anyone have similar symptoms? Why is "she" so obsessed with the ocd thing? The little things I do that she considers ocd I have been doing for as long as I remember, the dep/panic, only the past six years. That's why I'm so curious. Any help on this one would be greatly appreciated.

It's hard to say why she is obsessed with you having ocd...maybe you should ask her...and stress to her what is really bothering you...tell her what you told us.

Maybe you need to get a second opinion.

I think that's her primary concern because so very many other issues can arrise from ocd. A few minor rituals may not make ocd, but they may indicate a larger thought process problem. Don't can her just yet. Ask her why she is so fixated on ocd. If you have it, it could explain a host of other things. Personally, recalling your last thread, I think you do have it. But I'm no doc. Make her tell you.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
